Event Horizon

It breaks my heart every time I hear someone say how much they disliked "Event Horizon" because it is simply one of the scariest sci-fi movies to grace the big screen and really deserves its place in that honor. It is a genuinely frightening and bleak film that is so thickly atmospheric that you really can't see what is coming next. It is full of brilliant acting, Lawrence Fishburn and Sam Neil do excellent turns, and well directed by the under praised Paul Anderson. The premise is simple; a spaceship explores a mythical ghost ship and unleashes Hell, literally. Not for the weak of stomach or prudish.

1996
