Event Horizon (1997)
9/10
Paul Anderson's best here, Very Entertaining
4 May 2009
This is Paul Andersons best movie here. Anderson has been bringing us some very unsatisfying movies as of late and this one seems to fly under the radar. When your watching the movie you don't realize that this is his film. A couple of reasons will show this, 1, you got a good/strong cast. 2, It's well written and acted. 3, it works and will scare you or make you feel uneasy. I like this movie quite a bit. I'm not one to be scared by movies easily but this one makes it hard for me to sleep at night. Its not so much the movie itself but when your hear that transmission that Dr Wier plays back you know there's trouble ahead and when you see what happens to the crew on that ships log it makes you feel extremely uneasy. The ship plays the perfect villain here and the whole feeling of the movie is uneasy. Nothing looks pretty in this movie. And that look sells it. I would recommend it because all in all it is a good movie. Sam Neill puts on a great performance along with Lawrence Fishburne. The supporting cast is great as well with familiar faces all around. If your in the video store and want something to tickle your mind alittle, go ahead and watch this flick. It won't disappoint, but its not for the easily sickened.
