This is definitely one of my favorite sci-fi/horror movies. The reason I like it so much is that the plot takes something that could happen, (the gateway) and adds a supernatural element. This one really sparked my imagination and is definitely worth watching. I admit some of the scenes still scare the hell out of me.

If you enjoy a little sci-fi in your horror, this is an excellent title. Blending suspense, gore and psychological horror, this title bleeds with uniqueness. Mix the best of the Hellraiser series with the best of the Alien series and you have Event Horizon. Highly recommended!

This is a great intense sci-fi horror movie. If you watch it will all the lights out, I promise it will make you jump out of your seat.

Don't worry. It's a good "what the crap!?!". This movie freaked my mind out. Worth checking out. Not for the faint of heart or mind.

This is one of the movies you either love or hate, as you can see from the rest of the reviews. :) I thought it was well made. Not much of a plot but, there really doesn't need to be one. It is interesting and entertaining. The atmosphere in this movie is so dark and scary, it entices you want to keep watching. I saw this movie the first time back in 1997. Movies do not usually effect my sleep but this one was borderline. Definitely some disturbing things in this movie for any younger viewers. Either way, a well made fun/scary sci-fi/horror film. Worth watching.

I saw this at 2 am in a vacant theater. The scene with the woman with no eyes was the scariest part for me and gave me nightmares for a week. I still to this day cannot watch the scene.

I saw this back when it was in the theater, and it gave nightmares to my date. Yes, it is a sci-fi setting but it's really a horror-fantasy flick. If that's what you're looking for, you'll certainly get it with this movie.

It starts out being intense and creepy, but I guess they couldn't figure out how to proceed with the intended plot or how to explain it so they just gave up and went for the gore and shock factor instead. Yes, if you see this movie you will wonder "what the heck did I just watch?" only because it turns into a pointless mess. Great actors, weak plot and pointless movie.

I found this movie very dull. I would have stopped it half way through but since a friend recommended it I decided to watch it all. I would recommend against this.
