Event Horizon Review

Postedon August - 12 - 2009

Alternate Episode Title:Glove vs. Miller=F*CK ME!

Paul W.S. Anderson gets a lot of flack for being very much a style over substance director. As far the creative design and the visuals are concerned this movie is definitely his most mature. The cinematography, lighting, and set design throughout the film are all top notch and do much to enhance the creepy atmosphere/vibe. The model work for the ships is amazing and it makes me shed a tear that modern day movies very rarely make use of this craft anymore.

The premise of Event Horizon certainly had a great deal of potential. A ship that can generate a miniature black hole in order to travel instantaneously from one point in the universe to another but in doing so opens a gateway into another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos and pure evil. The movie gives you just enough to whet your appetite but you can’t help but want to know more. Unfortunately there just isn’t anymore to know.

If you were to break EH down into its core components it’s basically your classic haunted house setup. The main differences being the setting and the characters. However I don’t think that most sci-fi/horror fans will care too much about that because they’ll be too damn busy enjoying the ride to notice.

So if you think you’re ready to mount a suicidal rescue operation near the outer reaches of Neptune and you need the best then what are you waiting for? Just give the order. The Hard Cast is always up for the job!
