THE LOW DOWN 

"When she crossed over, she was just a ship, but when she came back, she was alive"

The year is 2047. Years earlier, the pioneering research vessel Event Horizon vanished without a trace. Now a signal from it has been detected, and the United States Aerospace Command responds. Hurtling toward the signal's source area fearless captain (Laurence Fishburne), his elite crew and the lost ship's designer (Sam Neill). 

Their mission: find and salvage the state-of-the-art spacecraft. What they find is state-of-the-art interstellar terror. What they must salvage are their own lives, because someone or something is ready to ensnare them in a new dimension of unimaginable fear. Co-starring Kathleen Quinlan.

THE VERDICT

Event Horizon might be set in the farthest reaches of space but it plays on all the classic horror movie fears, the crew discovering almost the very depths of hell itself. High on style and with a genuine air of menace Event Horizon references lots of classics (Solaris, The Shining) but director Paul Anderson has a sure enough touch to make the movie stand out on its own merits. Laurence Fishburne is the star but Sam Neill as usual walks aways with most of the plaudits. The real star of the film though is the amazing production design, the cathedral like black heart is genuinely terrifying. If you like this kind of movie you'll love this but beware it is one heck of a scary ride.
