And if you enjoyed this film, you should also check out "Pandorum" as it is also fairly good, though not quite in the same league as "Event Horizon". i suggest a re-watch by yourself with the lights off and all other distractions (laptop, cellphone) switched off as well and just sit and watch.I guarantee fear will gnaw at you eventually. If you've seen this film and you were not frightened.you are either really warped, lying, or talked all the way through it. I really wish there was a Director's cut edition of this film. The story is good enough to keep the viewers attention and adrenaline pumping and the special effects have held up surprisingly well for a film that was filmed back in 1997. It's the suspense of the film and the actual idea behind it which is so un-believable frightening that you find yourself absorbed and un-able to look away from the ipped in fear. For a horror film the kill count is surprisingly low and no one actually dies during the first hour of the film. No actual killer as is the presence of an unseen evil which corrupts the characters into becoming warped and ultimately the cause of their own demise. Which is exactly the reason "Event Horizon" works. Horror films now are especially ridiculous as that "Saw" series (when will it end?) is just silly and repetitive which is a shame as the first film is a pretty descent thriller, which seems to be another problem for horror films is that there are too many sequels with each film becoming further and further detached from the original making the whole premise and idea of the film pointless and boring. My friends felt the same way i did and we all sat on the same couch with the lights off while this film quietly terrified us! Now I'm not exactly a huge horror movie enthusiast as i find most horror films to be stupid, cheesy and just not scary in the slightest. Brilliant! I jumped in all the same scenes I jumped in 12 years ago and i was so absolutely absorbed in this film. Caught in an icy grip of fear and excitement! A feeling I haven't felt since the first viewing of 'Event Horizon'. What are the scariest movies set in outer space Vote up the best. Suddenly I was 14 again! A scared child, too frightened to look away from the screen. This list of the scariest space horror movies of all time is ranked by fans of the genre. To this day, "Event Horizon" is THE scariest horror science fiction film i have ever witnessed! I was 14 years old when I first watched this film on video and to put it scared the shiz out of me! I loved it!!! Now 12 years later a finally purchase the film on DVD (ordered from the states as I can't find it anywhere in New Zealand) and I watched it with a couple friends who have never seen it before.
