You can’t possibly comprehend what awaits. The true nature of things is far more dreadful than any description. Paul W.S. Anderson directed Event Horizon, with a screenplay by Philip Eisner. It features Sam Neill, Laurence Fishburne, Joely Richardson, Kathleen Quinlan, Richard T. Jones, Sean Pertwee, Jason Isaacs and Jack Noseworthy in the cast. Michael Kamen and Orbital composed the music, while Adrian Biddle handled the cinematography. The story takes place in 2047, when a team of astronauts is dispatched to find out what happened to the 'Event Horizon,' which vanished seven years prior. The ship has reappeared without its original crew, and now those aboard the 'Lewis and Clark' are confronted with disturbing truths about the abandoned vessel... Essentially, it’s a haunted house story playing out on a spaceship. While borrowing familiar elements from similar movies, it executes them well. From the very beginning, the intense musical score accompanying the opening credits establishes a dark atmosphere, and then the film becomes an exercise in suspense – figuring out who will die and when. The central mystery is also compelling. The strong performances elevate the movie beyond its low-budget origins; some interesting concepts are woven into the plot, making it easy to connect with the characters. There’s plenty of gore, presented in a particularly unsettling way, but those responsible for the film put their own spin on the science fiction/horror combination. The last portion does become somewhat predictable and maybe even a little cheesy, but it remains very impactful and ideal for watching in the dark. The production design is well-considered, which contributes to the overall sense of dread, while Anderson’s consistent tone really pulls you into the story. It isn't revolutionary or a classic of its kind, but it holds up on subsequent viewings as a reliable and disturbing space horror film. 7/10
