Movie Review
To put it in layman's terms, Event Horizon is the grossest, freakiest movie I've ever seen. As a matter of fact, I rather liked it. Event Horizon was much like Sphere, in essence, but at the same time different, far, far different. And far superior. Though the gore was utterly disgusting and rather unpleasant to watch, Event Horizon featured frightening horror that far exceeds Alien. It's dark setting is truly spooky, surrounded by strange architecture and shown with great cinematography. Most of the space graphics looked excellent, though some looked rather cheesy, but graphics were only a scratch on the surface of this movie. Event Horizon is like Alien in content and Sphere in story, but it is much gorier and much scarier. Full movie review »

December 31, 2003Start to finish it is a great movie. Some people say it is lacking plot... I don't know what movie they are watching but this one has a great plot. A scientists creates a stable black hole that they use as the main engine for a spaceship. When the spaceship goes through the blackhole it crosses another dimension to get it its destination. This dimension turns out to be pure chaos... and when the ship returns... it is changed. The rescue ship comes... and well... bad things ensue.
