A grueling space horror that lives up to the chilling potency of the original book. Probably one of the best book-to-movie horror flicks out there.

I was shocked this was a Paul W.S. Anderson film because it’s pretty damn tonally cohesive, and even when it goes off the rails, it still feels controlled, like Anderson kept a guiding hand on it the whole time. Critics blasted this on release because of its vagueness or unwillingness to define the interdimensional threat, but I think that vagueness might’ve helped the film gain its cult status. We don’t need to understand what lies through Sam Neill’s gateway, just what it wants.

The execution may be mediocre, but I must give points to anyone who tries to combine hard sci-fi with gothic religious horror. The late-90s gritty technopunk vibe is pretty dated now, but it sets the mood perfectly, in a way turning EH into an exemplary unintentional period piece. And the titular ship is gorgeously gloomy; with such bizarre design choices, no wonder it wound up possessed!

Sometimes suggests something along the lines of "The Shining in space," but Anderson (and it was his idea to change the original script's tentacle aliens to ghostly visions from literally Hell) doesn't really do suspense or psychology, and the horror of minds undone by psychic traumas brought back to life doesn't mesh well with his Bigger Louder Better aesthetic language of explosions and flames and sparks, nor his taste for crowd-pleasing one-liners and comic relief. Much action, little dread.

Final act lets down a promising if derivative film & performances: Over-use of SCORE! + 90s action flick style slow-mo explosions with lots of crashing into walls/floor etc. That rather spoils what began as an 'Alien 1-esque feel' space-horror: A like-able crew's (well acted) regular mission & believable interactions creep inexorably into a claustrophobic nightmare on an abandoned space ship. Worth seeing. Could've been better with less cheesy action beats, more horror in last 1/3

Risible, adolescent scifi horror mishmash. Neither writer nor director understand how to make use of what could be an interesting premise, ripe for exploring religious themes in a new context. Instead, typically scattergun Paul WS Anderson stuff, with some occasionally impressive genre production design and visuals mired by incompetent directing. The staccato bursts of violence, gore and jump scares every five minutes hinder the storytelling as the film plods towards its predictable conclusion.

As others have noted, Event Horizon borrows quite liberally from superior sci-fi's like Solaris and Alien. Stealing from the rich is fine if you invest it wisely. Anderson knows what to steal without really knowing how to use it. As a genre exercise it's passable, and there are a few solid visual ideas. The core is an otherworldly contraption that exudes steely menace, although it's obviously influenced by the Lament Configuration, but its promise is squandered and frights are seriously scarce.
