The pits.

| Dec 15, 2018

A loud and nasty hunk of science-fiction horror.

| Dec 15, 2018

Climax follows climax until the weary viewer wants to cry, "Stop, already!"

| Dec 15, 2018

The sets are indeed terrific and the special effects quite remarkable, as the chill of the uncertain future is mixed with a steamy gothic past. But, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, never have so many done so much to such little purpose.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 15, 2018

Director Anderson gets points for skillfully choreographing all of this, but he loses them for a consistent desire to brutalize the audience.

| Dec 15, 2018

Don't worry, it's not you. It really doesn't make any sense.

| Dec 15, 2018

By the time the story gets rolling, the filmmakers are trying unsuccessfully to scare the audience with sudden loud noises and gallon upon gallon of fake blood.

| Dec 15, 2018

[Anderson] has little feeling for suspense - instead he lays on the violence and gore with a trowel and diminishing returns are the result.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 15, 2018

Just when you've written off this deep-space nightmare as a late-summer melange of Alien, Fantastic Voyage, The Shining, and a dozen more forgettable otherworldly thrillers, it unleashes some of the most unsettling horror imagery in years.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

Despite game efforts from a first-rate cast and acres of impressive production values, Event Horizon remains a muddled and curiously uninvolving sci-fi horror show.

| Jul 6, 2010

The movie avoids Alien space monster clichés brilliantly and the soundtrack contains more of the 'Boo!' effects than I've heard since Halloween.

| Jan 26, 2006

If anything, the conventional pop-up scares and gross-out effects of this British haunted-space-ship story seem less terrifying than quaint.

If you want to have that Event Horizon experience without spending the seven bucks, try this instead: Put a bucket on your head. Have a loved one beat on it vigorously with a wrench for 100 minutes. Same difference, and think of the gas you'll save.

It's not a great film, but Event Horizon produces an intense sense of visual involvement. The hallucinatory, almost 3-D-like scenes stick in the mind.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

[It] doesn't just borrow from fine antecedents, it takes their future shock value to new heights, using genuinely original FX and creepy camerawork to great effect. And placing Fishburne at its heart is a fine move; the man oozes credibility.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Event Horizon is a bloody mess, rife with powerhouse effects, but not much else.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

This unwieldy amalgam of science fiction and horror, directed by Paul Anderson, douses almost every scene with glitzy special effects in a futile attempt to cover up a paucity of thought.

| Jan 1, 2000

It's all style, climax and special effects. The rules change with every scene.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 1, 2000

It's as if any glint of subtlety has been swallowed by a black hole.
