Event Horizon (1997)

"Event Horizon" is one of those movies that pulls you in with its eerie atmosphere and keeps you hooked with its intriguing premise. It’s a sci-fi horror that isn’t just about space exploration but dives into darker, more psychological territory. The visuals are haunting, the tension builds steadily, and the overall design of the ship itself adds so much to the unsettling vibe. From start to finish, the movie keeps you on edge, and the pacing ensures you’re never bored.
What I really appreciate about "Event Horizon" is its ability to blend genres so seamlessly. It’s a sci-fi film at its core, but the horror elements are front and center, creating an experience that feels fresh and unique. The story is easy to follow, which makes the intense moments hit even harder. You’re not trying to untangle a complicated plot; you’re just along for the ride, which makes it even more effective when things start to unravel.
While it could have benefited from a bit more character development to really drive that emotional connection, the film still manages to leave a lasting impression. It’s the kind of movie that grows on you the more you think about it. If you’re into suspenseful, atmospheric films that mix horror with sci-fi, "Event Horizon" is definitely worth checking out. It’s dark, it’s intense, and it’s an experience you won’t forget anytime soon.

This is the third time seeing this one and my opinion pretty much remained the same. Some interesting ideas but not very well executed, though that's kind of Paul W.S. Anderson's style of filmmaking it would seem. Visual effects are at times iffy (the CGI in particuular) but the acting was okay and I can't say I ever was bored or mystified with what I was watching. **3.25/5**
