It didn't get the fanfare it deserved because I'm sure, like myself, people signed up for a sci fi flick and were treated to a slasher... IIINNN SSSPPPPAAACCCEEEEEEEE.

Great music, though.

Yeah, Event Horizon does the sci fi horror damn well. The problem with the way sunshine does it, is that it tries to be something different and then sorta falls back on blood and gore. That's sorta my main gripe with battlestar galactica, it tried really hard to be a story about people with realistic sci-fi, and then suddenly veers off and becomes something completely different.

Event Horizon is a sci-fi horror flick and it knows it. The same way Lost is supernatural, where it doesn't feel bad the way it does in BSG.

Event Horizon's idea of hell reminds me a lot of Warhammer 40k, with living ships and chaos and so on.

Event Horizon is pure badace. I saw it originally on a humongous screen with a bass system so loud the seats shook when the asteroid at the beginning passes in front of the camera.

The spinning shot of Daylight Station actually gave me a sense of vertigo.. then the scary parts eventually came.

Then I got to go home to my little cabin like home in an area that had no street lights, and my roommate was out of town.

Very few movies get under my skin, that one did.. big time. I cry a little inside whenever I hear a fellow geek bash that movie.

...oh and I love the little connections to Hellraiser.

I liked this movie apart from the last part, where it goes all slasher/horror, which is at odds with the rest of it, I think.

In related news, Event Horizon is the most awesomest spacy scifi slasher horror movie ever made! (Apart from alien.)

Here are a few videos I would consider must sees for anyone wanting to better understand the world we are in, and the terrible choices every foreign policy maker is faced with. I suppose this would be my own, current, top 5.

Between the Mullahs and the Military:
Pakistani born journalist Ziauddin Sardar returns to his country in 2007 and reports on the state of the nation and speaks to many influential people in the country and travels to some of the most unstable and dangerous parts of it. If you care about the war in Afghanistan, you really must watch this film to appreciate it's significance.

Inside North Korea:
The sift version of this is currently dead, I'll change both links if/when it comes back.
National Geographic manages to get a film crew into the country as aides to a surgeon that was allowed to work in the country for a short time. The commentary might seem over the top to some, bordering on propaganda. As you watch the documentary you will start to realize that it isn't hyperbole and the situation in North Korea is simply so awful there are hardly words to describe it.

George Galloway and Christopher Hitchens debate Iraq:
This isn't a documentary of course, it is instead a debate between two of Britain's best debaters. They are also both people who have visited and spent time in Iraq under Saddam and seen what it was like. Galloway was even able to personally meet with Saddam in the mid 1990's. I'm not sure if this is more informative or entertaining, but it's worth your time for both reasons all on their own.

Al-Anfal Campaign:
This video accounts victim testimony's from one of the worst genocides of our time. As the Iran-Iraq war ended Saddam set out to exterminate the Kurdish population in Northern Iraq, this video provides a brief glimpse of that tragedy.

Ghosts of Rwanda:
This is the single most important video I would recommend for anyone convinced that the world would be better with zero American intervention. The absolutely horrific account of what happened in Rwanda while the entire world agreed on non-intervention is vitally important to be remembered. Be warned, it is extremely difficult to watch some of this. It is like watching a recounting of the most brutal slasher/horror film ever produced, but where the 800,000 victims were real live human beings in our own world.

Willem Dafoe's a$$ always seems to get put on display in all the movies he's in. But I can understand that, he has a nice a$$ (even if this is coming from a str8 guy). Besides, we can all tell who will be the primary viewer of this film: women.

This film has all the earmarks of a horror-film-made-for-women. First, there is the a$$ shots of Willem Defoe. Second, there is the sex scenes-mixed-with-violence-and-horror. [I don't know ANY man who likes these kinds of scenes in horror films. Male horror film viewers like raw fear and blood & gore. I know of no men who like the sex + violence motif. I do know female horror film fans who do, though.] Then, there is the 1-on-1 nature of the relationship theme rather than the group-of-people-getting-killed-one-by-one thing that typifies most horror films and appeals mostly to male viewers. There is also the fact that the primary source of horror comes from the two characters inflicting it on each other. Definitely a female-appealing theme since it is relationship-centered more than situationally-centered. There is also the fact the couple is married. Slasher-killer horror films made for general audiences do not have married couples or if they do, they are among several such couples. In any case male viewers don't care about married couples being in the films and probably prefer they not be. Male horror film viewers are usually single and like it that way and don't really want to see married couples on film, since marriage is so... not them. Finally, the P/R around it is "gynocentric". Take a look: http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/jul/16/antichrist-lars-von-trier-feminism
You don't see other horror movies getting reviewed by a whole spate of feminists, do you? And these reviews are far from condemning. In fact they are practically one ad after another for it.

My analysis here is that the director/author had a stroke of marketing genius as well as inspiration, whether it arose from a serious bout of depression or not. This looks very much like it was made for a female audience characterized by women who like the horror genre (but don't want to admit it), and/or who like to watch situations that demonize men while seeing women in powerful but vulnerable (ie, victim) positions. It's perfect. It will make tons of money and probably cost very little to make. This guy will retire on it.

Freaking genius.

Thumbnail reminds me of an early 1980's Angie Dickinson in that slasher flick.

Great movie.
I like how the series shifted genres through the different editions and with the different directors.
Alien = horror
Aliens = Action
Alien3 = horror/slasher/splatter
Alien 4 = pure fecal matter.
The first two were great in their genres, and the third wasn't that bad. The latest was just poor, poor.


Alien vs. Predator = why would they make this anything short of 18a
AVPR = face hugged a child, nuff' said

Great movie.

not sure if what I like can be classified as "horror" because I don't really like films like "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" - but I consider those to be slasher flicks.


Friday the 13th and Halloween are more part of the horror genre than Aliens and Silence of the Lambs, I think. To me, Aliens was an action film whereas its predecessor Alien was a haunted house story told on a space ship (therefore it certainly was a horror film, if not sci-fi-horror.). Silence of the Lambs was a thriller more than a horror. Jacobs Ladder, in my opinion, is debatable whether or not it can be considered horror - I, too, think that one is a thriller.

not sure if what I like can be classified as "horror" because I don't really like films like "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" - but I consider those to be slasher flicks.

But here's my top ten in what I consider horror:

The Others
Jacob's Ladder
The Eye (original, not upcoming remake)
Aliens
Alien
Dark Water (Original, not US remake)
Ju-On (Original, not US remake, although the remake wasn't bad)
Onibaba

obviously i have a preference for J-horror

Whoppi Goldberg is really scary in this slasher flick.

@oxdottir and rottenseed: personally, I have had a vote embargo on QM for about a year now... I don't see it as playing into the 'popularity contest' mentality, but rather, as refusing to aid and abet a troll in his participation on this site.
This kind of behavior is just as bad. I have commonly seen people abusing QM and downvoting based on his name alone. If you want me to start trotting it out, there was a time when a little clique were abusing all of QM's videos. Granted some of the videos were just incendiary and crappy, but you should instead let those wither in the queue instead of auto downvoting on name alone. In truth QM has probably also netted over 20 inappropriate downvotes over the year(s).
Why are we correlating video votes with a person's comments? Just upvote good videos (regardless of who submits them).


I beg to differ... yes, if I were in any way ACTING against him... say consistently DOWNVOTING (vids or comments, etc)... I would agree with you... however, I chose inaction in regards to him simply because I did not want to enable him to be more of a pest on this site. I realized long ago that this was not someone I wanted to see with even bronze star powers, so I wanted no part in helping him get them.

However, I do think, if you were to look at it, I have actually voted for a few of his vids, because occasionally, he would sift something of undeniable merit... and I do quite clearly recall inviting him to join the HorrorShow after he submitted some slasher flick clips or something of that ilk, despite the fact that as a commenter he repulsed me even back then, but, on the whole, as most of his sifts were at best 'meh', I just stayed my votes... and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Ah yes, I was thinking of that. Good call.
