Event Horizon (1997)
Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson
Quick Hit
Event Horizon moves like a sci-fi nightmare—metal, hellish, and knows exactly when to twist the knife.
Full Take
Event Horizon leans hard into sci-fi horror energy, and Paul W.S. Anderson keeps the tone metal without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. Messy in spots, still worth the ride.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

I’m more negative on Event Horizon than the review is. It has a setup that sounds better on paper than it plays on screen. The pacing kept sagging just when it needed momentum, which made the whole thing feel longer than it was. So even with a few decent moments, I still came away underwhelmed.
This one actually worked for me.
I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
solid 👍

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
