Event Horizon Review

Event Horizon came out in 1997 and was directed by the ever-cum-stained Paul Anderson III. We have used science (and possibly the box cover) to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "SF/Horror" genre.

During the time we had our polls open, 331 twitchy viewers just like you weighed in on Event Horizon. 193 of 'em thought it was great! 138 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.

This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001. Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.

Dave's Review

This is by far the coolest horror movie I've seen in recent times. The sets and ship designs were so wonderfully planned and filmed that I just couldn't believe my eyes at times. If the visuals are beautiful, the sound is close to perfection. This movie makes full use of the advances in audio technology that have been made in the last few years.

Dave broke it down like so: Technology: 8 Action: 8 Nudity: 3 Coolness: 11 Badguys: 11 Gore: 9 Shock: 8 Dialog: 9 Post-Nuke?: N Music: 10 Plot: 10 Length: Short Overall: 10

Jim's Review

It has been a long time since I've seen a quality horror movie. This movie combined science fiction elements with horror elements flawlessly. All of the machines were brilliantly designed (especailly from a horror standpoint) and finally, it had a bad-guy that rated somewhere close to Pinhead.

Jim broke it down like so: Technology: 8 Action: 7 Nudity: 3 Coolness: 10 Badguys: 0 Gore: 8 Shock: 7 Dialog: 8 Post-Nuke?: N Music: 8 Plot: 7 Length: Short Overall: 9
