I like the theory that this movie takes place in the 40k universe.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that the makers of this movie were huge 40k fans, and when asked about it, they admitted they were "inspired" by it. Of course, legally they couldn't come out and say it, but this was basically meant to be a precursor to 40k, showing mankind's first contact with the Warp. P.S. The gothic "cathedral" design of the ship was lifted almost wholesale from 40k as well.

Yes, the writers have said they got inspiration from 40k so some Warhammer fans decided Event Horizon is an unofficial 40k prequel. But they've also said they took inspiration from Hellraiser.

The conversation at 45:00 about how the two sections would just need a single spur to be destroyed or a clamp to be released to free the forward decks as a lifeboat. The reason you have so many explosive charges starting from the rear is that the force multiplies in order to provide inertia to the forward decks to move them far enough away from the gravity drive in the rear as it opens up the tear in space and gets drawn in. Also be good for you both to look at 'Life' together.

"Event Horizon" was one of the scariest movies from my teen years... And it still works!

My favourite fan theory about this film is that Weir knew what would happen and where it would go, because he was already (to use the 40k connection) a Chaos cultist - hence the ease with which he is corrupted and the overall design of the ship itself. He was trying to prove his beliefs, essentially

Dead Space was mainly inspired by Event Horizon, especially the whole idea of the core using your trauma against you just like the Marker does.

Well... it was an inspiration, not the MAIN inspiration, but still. It was a movie that was very well done. The sound work could use work. When they just gave up and started using cartoon sound effects, I hated that, and once you hear it, you will NEVER again be able to NOT hear it. I wish I could get the original footage and have a million dollars to try and clean up a bunch of minor shit. The first time you see it, it is great. You go in and you watch it and you just experience it. That's the best. The problem is every time you see it afterwords, the errors start creeping in. It was terrifying, and horrifying, and funny, and thought provoking. I just wish it had a better editor.

This and the Thing are what made me love horror, like how Starship Troopers made me love Sci-fi , and Band of Brothers WW2 films.

I absolutely love this film. Beyond being just a good horror movie, it's genuinely compelling to watch, makes you ask questions you don't really want answered, and it has some legendary screams. It works as a really good explanation for the dangers of warp travel in Warhammer to boot. It's basically how I was introduced to the concept of gellar fields.

Sam Neil's moan-scream feels authentic. Realization + Trauma + Terror It sounds like the vocalization of despair.

I read the other day that the core was supposedly meant just to be the large black mirrored sphere, but they added the interlocking circles and patterns were added to give it a hellraiser / pinhead vibe. I love this so much

that sounds like how it might have looked when they built it, how it appears in the film is what going to hell turned it into

Due to constantly working around this time in the '90s, and out socially progressing my cirrhosis in what little sleepless free time I had, I didn't see Event Horizon until it came on cable late one night. Even better, I saw it practically at the same time as 'In The Mouth Of Madness' and 'Lord Of Illusions' within a very short period of time. Great horror movies I should've watched in the theaters, but repeatedly enjoyed afterward. I tend to link those three together in some self-created mid '90s horror trend which was short lived but I greatly enjoyed.

One of the very, very, very, very few movies that gets space horror right. Seeing Sam Neil in this after how "nice" he generally was in all his other roles was also a welcome juxtaposition, to say the least. Very Robin Williams in One hour Photo-esque.

I love this film and was shocked to learn that it wasn't a hit. This and Pandorum are few of my favorites.

It was inspired from Warhammer 40k. The warp or immaterium. Corrupting the ship with posession from an unknown demon. In 2017, on the Twitter, the screen writer also acknowledged a connection (conscious or otherwise) cementing this idea even further stating that he was a huge fan of 40k himself. This is mentioned on the ol’ wiki in the development section. It is not however connected to the Warhammer franchise but often regarded as a spiritual prequel to the discovery of the warp by a pre emperor human civ.

these two guys are golden together. we need more of this.

I love that scream. It was like he was shocked but still in disbelief.

Went to the cinema with a couple of mates to see this one night. Not really knowing what we were going to see. We woulda been 16 / 17 years old. We are all too scared to walk home alone after watching it! - Really visceral, haunting film. The idea that hell exists and that the ship had been there was a freaky one.

When you guys were talking about those rare moments in horror movies where a character actually leave before anything bad happens, that reminded me of this one movie called the Mausoleum(I think) that I saw, which was made in like, the late 70s or early 80s I think about this woman who was possessed all the way back in childhood after her mom died at an early age and she’d kinda just sleep with guys behind her husbands back and kill them in gruesome ways. But there was one old black maid with an attitude who was supposed to look after her in that movie who immediately saw some unnatural spooky shit in the hallway leading over to her room, some fog rolling along the floor, so she goes back down stairs and says “great googly moogly! I haven’t drank in a long time but I’m gonna need somethin to drink before I handle this!” And she just takes a swig of wine or something. Then when she walks back up to the ladies room, she just pokes her head in to see her in her bed possessed and she’s like “AW HELL NAW!” And leaves lmfao. She was the smartest character in the whole god damn movie, she was easily my favorite character in the movie and she was only on screen for less than 5 minutes!

Last time seeing CountDankula was on Drinkers first open bar, proper made me laugh that guy! So happy to see him again and with just the drinker and laughing at there conversations! 🤣

Dude women have the worst attention span with films. Unless its the Notebook or something.

I went to the cinema to see this film when it came out and it was great!

To this day this is still one of the few genuine scary films made - and great sci fi - very close to Alien. I had the joy of seeing this in a very early THX cinema, and the use of sound was like nothing I had ever experienced before. The scene where Sam Neill is walking around and the shutter opened - never seen so many people in a cinema shit themselves - it was awesome. If you haven't experienced this film in surround sound you need to make it happens - it makes everything twice as good, twice as scary - and there are so many sounds that happen behind it it is really unnerving - extremely cleverly done.

Still one of my favorite movies though haven't seen it in a while. It's a part of my Die hard and Alien collection that I rewatch ever so often

This was a great happy hour!

The design of the Event Horizon ship, built around a long corridor, reminded me of the Cygnus from Disney's The Black Hole.

This movie has my all time favorite depiction of "Hell" in popular media... and we didn't even actually get to see it...

Ah yes, the movie which gave us THAT Sam Neill scream… you really should use it more!

I thought this movie was excellent and I also thank it. I saw this in the movies with my first real girlfriend when I was 16. It was our first date and it definitely helped the young, nervous young man that I was at the time, get my date to hold onto me for the first time. It absolutely terrified her and it absolutely made my night having her hold onto me the entire film. Needless to say, we were bonded after it was over and I wasn't so nervous about things so much anymore. We ended up going to the prom together a couple years later. What a movie! 🍿

I first saw Event Horizon on the second day of Heroin withdrawal. Amped it up to 22. But even without that a good horror movie.
