Event Horizon is The Greatest Horror Film of all Time

[johnsmithjohnson]

Perfectly cast. All the characters are smart, the sound design, the set, the music, it's flawless. And I will fight anyone who disagrees! Go watch it Gen Z.

No it isn't. Good movie though. Hellraiser in space.

I was always more of a In The Mouth of Madness fan myself..

It's far from the best, and hasn't aged very well, but it is definitely super effective. Absolutely scared the shit out of me as a kid, and I didn't scare easily on horror films even back then. I've rewatched it as an adult and it wasn't the same, although it's still pretty solid

Not sure how many would agree but for me The Thing is the best I've seen

 

[HUGHPHUG]

I get Event Horizon and The Sphere mixed up, but that's because they're both shit

 

[RemyR]

Damn good movie.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Based on True Events

I’m not too into horror films. But I did really like Event Horizon.
Though it is a pet peeve of mine when they take what could be a great sci-if movie and just make it into a horror film. At least this one was done well.

It's a good movie I like it. I have the collectors edition in 4K.

Oi!

 

[UberHere]

It’s good but definitely not the best.

Great film for its time.

No, it isn't, but it's maybe the most underrated horror movie ever. I still remember my dad letting me watch it (over my mom's protests) when it premiered on HBO. Scared the shit out of me back then and it's still horrifying. I also got to see it as the midnight showing to cap the 5th Sci-Fi Spectacular at The Music Box in Chicago.

And anything with Laurence Fishburne automatically rules

Hellraiser in space.

I always think of it as The Thing in space or a horror Solaris

What do you mean "hasn't aged very well"? Do you mean as you aged it ceased being as scary, or are you referring to the effects or other film-related aspects that look worse compared to contemporary films? For me, I find it impressive that it still works with its Hell-as-another-dimension conceit, the graphic imagery, and most of all the brilliant audio and video footage of what happened to the previous ship and crew, which is the one aspect that I actually think Event Horizon did better than The Thing (although The Thing is still the superior film).

The hell scenes remind me of hellraiser hell scenes.

I saw Event Horizon in the theaters. Must have been some time in middle school. I loved it, but have no idea what I'd think rewatching it now.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

I wish A24 did remakes. This is one of those movies that deserves a proper one with the original cast.

And include all the scenes from the missing/lost/destroyed copy.

The missing content of the Event Horizon film includes several scenes that were cut from the original release, such as:

• A scene where Dr. Weir receives a briefing about the ship's return, which includes graphic details about the crew's fate.
  
  
• A disturbing discovery of a human tooth floating in the ship's corridors, which was not included in the final cut.
  
  
• A gruesome sequence where the gravity couches fill with blood and explode, showcasing the crew's horrific experiences.
  
  
• A scene where Captain Miller discovers a disturbing discovery while exploring the ship, which was also omitted from the final version.
  
  
  
  These scenes were reportedly so extreme that test audiences were reportedly horrified by their content, leading to the cuts during post-production.

event horizon is a good film, but its probably not in the top 10 horror films.

It fucking is!!!!! It's so overlooked!!!!! The build up of creepy is just fucking perfect.
Thank you.

No one ever considers Jacob's Ladder in their top anything which is no one's ever either.

Event Horizon is a perfect horror movie.

 

[Meatspin]

Great film.

I bet when everyone was getting their knickers in a twist about Jason Isaacs have an accidental boxers slip in White Lotus that he was a very more important "part" in that movie.
