This is how you do horror. Not making smart astronauts look like idiots.

[ChugxLife]

This is a criminally underrated horror movie.

[akikleist]

I love that one scene when they saw the footage and Cpt. Miller stopped the footage, bit of silence and just "We're leaving"
THAT is how rational people would react

[DoomMomDot]

a great example of how you don't need a CGI monster to create horror

[AlexJones-uell]

Quite a decent amount of Warhammer 40k fans considers "Event Horizon" as canon, as humankinds first encounter with the Warp and the forces of Chaos.

[shogun]

Yet another example of why Rotten Tomatoes and 'professional reviews' rarely get it right.

“Into the mouth of madness” I see what you did there, good one

This movie scared the shit out of me when I was a child. I remember being terrified of walking down the hallway to my bedroom, thinking some shit was going to happen to me.

[hikariatearu]

One of the reason I got fond with this film is that a game called Dead Space somehow captures the same horror experience as the film

[broaddusmarines]

That scene with the crew killing (and raping) each other is literally the most disturbing ten seconds in cinematic history.

[RuSosan]

As has been stated ad nauseum, this movie is straight up 40k-prequel canon to the fans who know about it.
Just looking at the symbolism, the cosmic- and body horror, the designs, the inclusion of latin, the way the warp corrupts the crew's minds and souls, the way Weir designed the ship to have odd spikes and jagged designs... (He was clearly affected by the ruinous powers and thought the inspiration and knowledge his own. Weir might have even been a weak latent psyker or warp-sensitive. One of the very first among Mankind.)
This was mankind's first broader contact with the warp, and the warp's first taste of humans.
_It wanted more._

I remember sneaking peaks at this movie as a boy, because my Dad told me I wasn't ready to watch yet at the time. The scenes I watched terrified me and I fell in love with the movie. I've watched it countless times by now.

[Frosty]

Event Horizon is, to me, the best example of Cosmic Horror in cinema ever created. Love the movie and even after all these years I still go back and watch it every year or two.

[darkdefender]

Such an underrated Sci-Fi Horror that's actually smart and scary.

[kabob]

Remember kids, this film can be a cautionary tale about WHY YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE GELLAR FIELD ON!

[dranksinatra]

Much appreciation for the title drop of “In the Mouth of Madness” when describing Weir’s descent as Sam Neil was absolutely stellar in that Lovecraftian classic.

[foodank_atr]

As a teenager when "scary" movies like Jason and Freddy or Alien didn't scare me anymore, I saw this movie, and was frightened again.

Also... Ever notice how the Warp Drive resembles the description of Ezekial's wheel?

[matteussartre]

Interesting how that machine at the ship looks like an angel.

[TITAN_]

This movie & John Carpenter's "The Thing" (& it's later made prequal) are still my fav horror movies regardless of how easy the jump scares are to spot or "unreal" it might look compared to modern day film tech.

It’s a shame we’ll never see a Director’s cut
