Event Horizon - Fishburne sees into Hell!

Hell is only a word. Reality is much, much worse.

I completely agree. Event Horizon is one of those films that a lot of people *remember* being great. But if they were to go back and watch it... it's a total cheese fest with some of the worst dialogue ever written.>> ^dag:
Event Horizon was a horrible, horrible, brainlessly poor excuse for a movie. Flicks like Alien show us that horror and SF can meld well, this was not an example of it.

Dia-what? I remember all the good parts from it, and those are awesome - true, there's a bunch of stupid stuff as well, but I like to think they weren't there.

Good parts: Black hold generator, living ship, hell, Sam Neill, the gore
Bad parts: Dialog, visions, other stuff?

Alien works well, because it's basically just "monster in a closed room"-movie. And it does that fantastically. I have the same feeling with Event Horizon, it does what it does well. Sci-fi horror. I don't care that the dialog is a bit stilted, hell, that's part of the genre. >> ^Hybrid:

So, Hybrid, I went back and watched it.

You're totally right.

Draxsays...

You don't have to, I've re-watched it many times and still love it

It's a great haunted ship movie within a sci-fi setting and it does it well.

It does have two very cheesy moments, mind you, 'Hey that looks like a black void of absolute nothingness.. I think I'll stick my finger in there!', and, 'Was that my son? I should go back!'. But I can forgive it.

..and where has QM run off to anyways? Dude has good taste in movies.
