This movie is really creepy! I think they did a really good job telling this story and it had some definitely chilling moments. I would definitely recommend this movie, especially if you want a good scare. Sam Neill does a really good job in this film.

Excellent cast. This movie resonates with your soul. It's creepy yet real. Psychological thriller that afficiandos may have missed. Turn the lights off.

Great horror/thriller for a person who does not mind violence and gore.

Some parts were hard to understand and keep up with but this was overall entertaining if you like sci-fi horror dramas. Good movie for its time.

This movie still holds up after a decade. Event Horizon is a great sci-fi psychological horror/thriller movie. The special effects are still sharp and hold up over time. The cast is great, story is trippy and intriguing, and the scares arent really scary, more disturbing than anything. If you like sci-fi, give this a go. Blu-Ray: WOW! The movie is sharp and looks awesome. PQ can dip at times but overall this is impressive. Wasn't expecting this from Event Horizon. Solid 8/10. The audio is just as good. If your a fan of this film you need to check it out on blu-ray.

This movie starts well. The sets are neat. The acting acceptable. Unfortunately, just about the time the movie gets suspenseful, it takes a wrong turn and gets weird. Totally weird. Unacceptably weird. Whoever wrote this screenplay has something seriously wrong with their spirituality. The ending delved too deep into the demonic and hell and evil. We don't need to fill our minds with evil. There is already enough evil around us to go and glamorize it as a poorly disguised horror film. This movie is definitely not for children, nor is it for adults who are trying to live right.

Good special effects. Pretty good storyline, too. Sci-Fi extrodinaire. Fishburne is okay...Sam Neill is a great BAD GUY. Overall, is a pretty decent effort.

This movie boasts great special effects and a good cast but, it is dreadful with a capital D. What the hell happened? How can you mess up a film that has everything going for it. Total waste of time.

I saw this movie in the theater. Hmmm, how may I put this simply? Oh, I know! STAY AWAY! This movie is a gory shambling mess of nonsense and insanity. It set ... dug UNDER ... the standards that I had for bad movies. Rent anything other than this movie, it is that bad. Worse than Krull.
