Event Horizon

Kelsy:
Alright this movie was from the bargain bin, no wonder why. Looking at the case, it looks decent, si-fi thriller sort, has a bunch of known people in it, (just from 15 years ago) so why not?

well. it was stupid! and sooooo gross! it was so gory! I haven't seen such a gory movie in a long time, sure your expecting it when you watch something like "Saw" or some other obvious horror flick.

Its about a team of astronauts or what have you, and there is a ship that went into a black hole and disappeared for 7 years. They found where it was and then trying to see if anyone is still on it or possibly what happened to them. The ship is like possessed now, and possesses everyone who goes on it and tries to kill them (anyone ever seen "Ghost Ship"? kinda the sci-fi outer space version...

anywho if your into super cheesy movies, or cheesy horror flicks, go ahead and watch it... I'd rather have my money and my 1 1/2 hours back.

Ok, so we picked this up because neither of us have seen it and it had a decent looking cover with a few good names, Lawrence Fishbourne, and that guy from Jurassic park.
I was expecting typical, sci-fi thriller/adventure from the mid nineties...
That definitely wasn't what we got, its different and gory. I really wasn't in the mood for this kind of movie when we watched it, or maybe it was because I wasn't expecting it and it snuck up on me. I was initially grossed out and kinda irritated.
I think this movie really did kinda have something, the effects and filming were good, the acting was good, and I could really see it getting a cult type following. But I definately dont recommend it for a quiet night in bed. The story was a little silly, as far as the ship itself being possessed but other than that I have to give them a thumbs-up, provided you know what your about to watch...ie, people ripping out their own eyes and good stuff like that.
I would say more like a sci-fi/smut/nasty version of Ghost Ship.
