2. Event Horizon
Plot: A ship with the ability to bend time and space was lost 7 years ago a crew head out with the scientist that built the engine to find out where it went and what happened to it's crew.
My thoughts: I saw this movie in either 98 or 99, I remember being told then that it was the scariest film by several of my friends. I remember really liking it and being freaked out by it would it hold up now after all I've seen? Yes and no. Now I can see the bits that were borrowed, for instance the interior of the ship, especially the gravity drive/gateway is a copy of the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser and I imagine that this may well be what happens inside that infamous cube. That being said I still really enjoy this film, Sam Neill is one of my favorite actors and when you toss in Lawrence Fishburn as a tough but compassionate Captain then you got pure win. The early CGI is obvious and cartoony but that is a testament to our advancements in graphics rather than a mark against the film. You haven't seen this one then watch it now, if you have go back and rewatch it you owe it another go around. Event Horizon is one hell of a ride.
I always liked this one. I had trouble breathing at the theater it was so intense. I've always considered this to be the unofficial Hellraiser sequel that didn't stink past part 2.
