    When the characters make sensible human like reactions your more invested in there story ( and more impacted by there demise ) when its some withering flower of a women going out in her pj's to investigate what most sane people would leave alone you know there dead the horror element is removed to be replaced by a morbid curiosity of how they will demise at best and at worst indifference ( which is about as bad as you can be making a movie show or any medium to tell a story .

    I hear many people laughed at that line in the theater because of how undersold the line was. Apparently Laurence Fishburne hadn't seen the final cut of the video log and what made it into the film ended up being way more graphic than what was expected.

    That's what is so good about film. Characters don't try and go out of their way to defeat some unfathomable evil. They don't mindlessly ignore weird shit that's happening around them either. As soon as they smell burnt toast, they try to gtfo off the ship as fast as possible.

    @@mrbuck5059 While Pandorum was quite a good movie that managed to establish a proper ambiance of dread and impending doom with creatures that are actually scary at times, even more so when you start to guess what they truly are AND also managed to pull off a second master feat by including a good mystery with a good twist, it was a bit long due to some pacing issues and had its fair share of plot holes (although understandably, any movie that ambitious, trying to do more than one thing at once by trying to keep a proper survival horror climate while slowly unraveling the mystery will always have some plot holes, even more so if it takes the risk of including a twist at the end). Reading your comment and talking about Pandorum really makes me think: I've got to watch this movie again, I've only seen it once and it's been a while. Which is the sign of a great movie! I just think that it's not as impactful of a horror movie as Event Horizon (also must rewatch this Masterpiece), which really takes the cake by being much more scary. Pandorum, while having a lot of survival horror in its DNA, is focusing more on the mystery elements of the story while being scary at the same time. I can't quite put my finger on it more than I have tried to... Pandorum felt a bit goofy at times due to the creatures and some weird characters appearing out of nowhere that feel a bit out of place, like the "space ninja", and something also felt a bit off in the execution of the climactic scene at the end... As I said, I really have to watch it again to refresh my memory and make a better comparison, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm trying to explain.

    This movie has a very "diverse" cast and is in line with nowadays political agenda: Two women, two black guys, one is flirting with white females suggesting an interracial interest, the other one is the commander of the ship and overall boss, intelligent and professional. The evil guy is a white middleaged male. Yet nobody cares, everything suggests that each of them attained his position through competence, their racial origin and gender don't matter. Every character is respected, no "higher moral" is pushed down the throat of the audience and everybody is competent in his role. Seems like 20 years ago we were closer to Martin Luther King's dream than we are today.

How else could the golden age of technology have happened?

He knew what they were getting into but had to cover for the weird phenomenons the crew were experiencing with pseudo-scientific explanations that none of them could debunk off the top of their heads. My take on why he did that was possibly to punish himself for the death of his wife and maybe try to "see" her again by entering the hell dimension, or that he felt kind of inextricably linked to the ship and had to go back because of the horrific visions he was having on Earth.

    Fun fact about the film and it’s creation. It was as primarily inspired by Warhammer 40,000 by the creator of the films own admission (particularly it was the writer of the film). Particularly (while he personally never gave details) the inspiration mostly comes from what happens when the Gellar Fields(a type of protection shield) fail when traveling through the Warp(aka *Literal* Hell on steroids and the *only* means humanity has of Interstellar travel). And it is so much like 40k that some see it as a (unofficial) 40k prequel when humans first invented the Warp drive, but didn’t invent Gellar Fields yet, and this was what prompted their invention.

    Doctor Who is dead. Maybe people can resurrect it in 10 to 15 years but right now, the best thing to do is ignore it. Don't contribute to the ratings. Just let it fade into obscurity until they have no choice but to cancel it. People who actually care about the show might get a chance to have a crack at it in a decade or so. Doctor Who died twice before and came back both times but it really needs a long hiatus.

    Like you said, most horror movies have to come up with ever more contrived reasons why the victims don't just leave or call for help. I loved how genre savvy they were that in the moment when many of the audience, myself included, are about to yell "JUST LEAVE!", our captain busts out "we're leaving", followed not long after by "fuck this ship". Yes! Thank you writers for writing characters who make believable decisions, then coming up with why they can't, rather than just having the characters be a bunch of dumb asses because that's what makes the writing easy!

    13:28 shows what happened to at least a few bodies -- they're splattered all over the walls. It doesn't account for all of them, but I assumed there were probably more meat walls through the ship. This fucking movie, man...I love horror movies. I've seen so many that I'm kind of desensitized to them, but this movie gave me nightmares for months. It was nearly 20 years before I could bring myself to watch it again. It's haunting in a way very, very few horror movies truly are.

    It's kind of common knowledge, so sorry if you already know, but just in case you made that reference without knowing - Event Horizon is actually kind of a Warhammer 40k movie. The team originally wanted to make a 40k movie, but couldn't get the licensing for it, so they made a horror movie that could vaguely take place in the 40k universe given the proper context. It could be seen as a movie about the first Warp drive without a Geller Field, and the first interaction with humanity and the Chaos realm.

They don't get a lot of money for their reviews like Siskel & Ebert used to get for their (very short) reviews on TV, and S&E's reviews could be just as bad as some of RLM's reviews. Anyway, I'm happy for RLM that they are successful on KZread, although I must say that I always prefer Critical Drinker's videos.

    There was an insane amount of realism in this movie which made it hit much deeper. The fact they didnt pull any punches, like the torture orgie scene, not cheesy, pretentious and appropriately offensive to the eyes, as you should expect. When evil is present in this movie, it's like you actually feel it, it's not some bland jump scare, it's not relying on a soundtrack, the build up is appropriate and just has an utter inescapable grim feel to it, that makes the horror mean something. Not to mention, intellectual enough to be thought provoking as well.

This movie has some of the most disturbing images I've ever seen, I mean, there are scenes of people basically eating each other. The shower scene in Psyho left it up to viewer's imaginations, Event Horizon showed us just about everything in graphic detail. You do realize that after Dr. Weir says, Hell is just a word, that the reality is much, much worse, that he goes on to say, let me show you and proceeds to show Captain Miller images of hell, right? "Do you see, do you see, DO YOU SEE?" "Yes, I see. " Showing horrifying and graphic images is a bit more than hinting in my book. Using words would have been hinting, they have limited power, they can describe things, but there is nothing like seeing it with our own eyes, and doing so makes it real. Images are powerful, they create reality in our mind, such is the difference between watching a movie and reading a book. But as Dr. Weir says, and I will concede, hell is only a word, we will never know the true nature and horrors of hell unless and until we experience it for ourselves in full. Yes, there were certainly psychological elements involved, but there was actually very little left to the imagination in this movie, they showed us everything in great(and glorious) excruciating graphic detail, for those who wanted to see it.

    This movie is a hidden, platinum gem (if there' platinum gems). No one knew sometime ago about this movie on the net, when I found clips here they didn't had that many views. This movie would surely be good for blind folks: - What happened to your eyes? - where we're going, you don't need eyes to see x) Love especially the 5 second scene & we're leaving, also the soundtrack is awesome, though not in the sense you can listen to it by itself but along with the actors it really creates the atmosphere of isolation, spooky shit. I disagree with The Critical Drinker on the end credits music - it's Prodigy - Funky Shit ffs, Prodigy ain't no the techno neither - it's rave. And I love the Prodigy. Wherever I go now they say it's the early stages of the universe of Warhammer 40.000, cause you don't travel without the gellar field (of something like that) - know this cause of my friend, I on the other hand don't like Warhammer in general.

    If I remember correctly the ship is in a decaying orbit around Neptune. It's orbiting at a distance where the drag of the atmosphere is slowly decreasing the ship's orbital speed down but not yet creating structural stresses or problematic heating compression. This created a ticking clock for Weir as there would be no time to return to Earth (or somewhere else) and mount a second salvage operation.

    "What happened to your eyes?" "Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see!!" Lol! Great creepy moment in the film. I loved how Weir delivered the lines with a menacing relaxed tone with a faint air of camp about them. Brilliant stuff. This is a deeply undervalued sci-fi horror classic with great performances.

    I always prided myself on being able to sit through the goriest, scariest ect ect movies and not even lose my appetite let alone get scared, but with all that being said Event Horizon was one of the only movies that absolutely TERRIFIED me and I honestly believe that it was because some of the best scenes didn’t have to show waterfalls of bloodshed or the monsters snarling and instead (for me at least) it was the scenes where they’re just talking trying to understand the amount of danger and how the light plays through the Ghost ship, and the ambient noises were the perfect storm that created a film that I will forever remember fondly and enjoy rewatching from time to time! Great video Drinker, absolutely love your channels bro!!

    He remarked on how the movie had real actors playing real characters straight. First thing to notice - unlike cliched horror, I see adults. Main characters in their 30s and 40s, instead of the usual early 20 somethings college road trip. Even in supposedly "professional" contexts, ,post casts look like a 20 something ensemble a few years past their highschool ensemble movie.

    Event Horizon was trying to rip off Alien, much to Event Horizon's benefit. Those were professionals dying after exploring a derelict ship in Alien.

    @@Edax_Royeaux There is a big difference between alien creatures and living evil from hell or another demension. I loved both movies. Once your in space then there will be some features that will be the same. The aliens wanted to kill to eat you or use you as living host for their young. I think without evil intent. The entities from Event Horizon were trying to capture the souls of the rescue crew and keep them in hell or a type of hell for eternity. My opionion anyway.

    @@watchman56able My opinion was they left it too vague. They say the ship is "alive" but at the same time I never interpreted the hell dimension to be the "biblical hell" so who knows what the heck was going on. Much of the universe is hostile to human biology so it would make sense to me that there would exist a dimension that would cause instant insanity, but why would the ship come back to real space with magic powers?

    Imagine going to Disney and saying "we need a second unit with porn actors and amputees". In the 90s management would've said "no need to hire some, you can use ours except on weekends". These days? Not so much.

    Are you kidding? Current-year woke Hollywood and the media promote children doing drag shows, interacting with drag queens, and interacting with trans "women." You think the same institutions who are trying to normalize pedophilia would bat an eye at using porn actors in a movie?
