Event Horizon Review
by Jeff Walters
Man, this was one wierd movie. Similar to Conspiracy Theory in that it couldn't decide which genre it is. The first hour is your standard stock Aliens clone, which nicely created an eerie atmosphere about the ship. The last half hour? This was when...more

Event Horizon Review
by Shane Burridge
It's not that EVENT HORIZON isn't well made. It's just that I've been there before. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of another film more entirely fabricated of quotes from other movies. Barely five minutes into the story I found myself...more

Event Horizon Review
by Laurence Mixson
Event Horizon really fools you for a while. For about the first third of the movie, I thought it was going to be your average, run-of-the-mill late-summer release, basically a straight-to-video release put into the theaters. I was wrong. The movie sets...more

Event Horizon Review

Capsule: A good cast, good special effects, and an intriguing title all go to make a really exciting-looking coming attraction. The film itself has nearly nothing of value that was not in the...more

Event Horizon Review
by Boyd Petrie
Laurence Fishburne was in last year's "Othello." Kathleen Quinlan was in this year's "Breakdown," and Sam Neill was in "Jurassic Park." Now, all these respected actors come together in a film that got dumped on by many critics, and won't make much money...more

Event Horizon Review
by Steve Kong
"Wow!" and "Potential" are the words that popped up in my mind during the first 20 minutes or so of Event Horizon. Then the phrases "Ugh" and "It had potential" started to creep in. In the opening 20 minutes of Event Horizon, we are treated to some...more
Event Horizon Review
by Roger Rubio
Something was missing in this film. Something that would have really screwed me up, as some of the best horror movies have done in the past. The visuals were stunning, the cast talented, the writing decent; so what was missing? more
Event Horizon Review
by Walter Frith
As the medium of film grows larger with each passing year, movie audiences are left with fewer original movies but as long as a film can still entertain, it can still be called good. In the case of 'Event Horizon', this is a movie that isn't necessarily...more
