You should watch the movie its based on.
which was a reimagining of 20k leagues under the sea
No
Reinhardt is Captain Nemo, The Cygnus is the Nautilus and the Black Hole is the giant squid.
Event Horizon owes more to Solaris than it does to Black Hole, although obviously Black Hole is an influence.
It's a pity Event Horizon and Soldier flopped at the box office, because it forced Paul W.S. Anderson to move away from movies like that towards what he called "scary action" films, films that were purposefully over the top and pulpy.
As Jason Isaacs put it:
>He's a really remarkable man. One of the reasons I like him so much is that he's remarkably optimistic and positive about everything in his life. And there's no question that SOLDIER was a setback for everybody involved. There's no way to reconstruct the experience; it was an out-and-out failure for everybody. And Paul just retrenched, locked himself in his lovely house, wrote some scripts, worked his way back, never felt sorry for himself, never got bitter or blamed the marketing or the poster, never got jealous of anybody else. He just went, "Okay, well that didn't work. Now I'm going to do something that does." He did a pilot for FX. He wrote a script for someone else to direct. And finally RESIDENT EVIL was the thing that put him back at the Hollywood top table. There was no part of him that became embittered by the process.

Couldn't take this seriously
They weren't actually jellyfish.
They were the manifestations of someone's fear of jellyfish.
With this kind of technology, why would need anything else?
May as well. It's not very good but still worth a watch.
yes, it's kino
yes and if you like it you should read the 40k lore that it ripped off
40k has been ripping shit off for its entire existence, what goes around etc
Unbased litgay!
And an inaccurate litgay. It's the other way around.
Yeah well you're moooom!
Rewatching Event Horizon on acid and nobody can stop me.
no
it's scawy
i pizzled myself
I refuse to rewatch it. It was scary the first and only time i watched it when i was 13, and i don’t want to ruin that.
mass effect 2 human reaper
Definitely an intentional reference.
I'd go with Sotha Sil.
yes
The best WH40k film by far.
Yes, its pretty good.
It's fine, incredibly overrated on here
Much better idea than its execution
People say this, but nobody has executed the idea better than Event Horizon did. I think there's also a problem where some people want the film to be some kind of bone shilling horror film when it is very purposefully camp in places, and they view these camp elements as something to be rectified.
Well sure, but I'm not gonna give it credit for doing slightly better than other things even when it's still not great. The direction is not very noteworthy
Again, it's a fine movie, but it's really overblown
>The direction is not very noteworthy
It's noteworthy in the sense that almost all the iconic "Anderson-isms" are present. Event Horizon is a distinctly auteur work. While it benefits from having the same cinematographer as Aliens, it also has a distinct visual outlook, distinct iconography.
Why do you think it is that even though it’s such a great concept and so many people have tried, Event Horizon is the best film this subgenre has produced?
I think a lot of contemporaries get bogged down on being slasher movies. Event Horizon benefits from its central thematic premise, "Hell is only a word. The reality is so much worse."
It's dogshit. Tries to be Hellraiser in space when Hellraiser 4 already exists and is much much better.
I remember people talking about this movie and it sounded like the coolest, scariest shit ever.
Then I actually watched it and it turned out to be fricking goofy as shit. I fricking laughed out loud multiple times. All the horror in it isn't as clever as people are making it seem, it's all pretty cliché. This was before RLM decided to publicly shit on it by the way, the entire internet was fellating it when I watched it so I guess my expectations were way too high. I guess it works better if you go in expecting a cheesy B-movie (which it kinda is).
>Then I actually watched it and it turned out to be fricking goofy as shit. I fricking laughed out loud multiple times.
That is almost a Paul W.S. Anderson trademark at this point. If I had to drill down into the difference between Zack Snyder and Paul W.S. Anderson, Snyder is fixated on verisimilitude, taking the subject matter deathly seriously. Anderson doesn't care because "none of this is real". He frequently undermines the immersion of the audience deliberately.
This difference in approach is starkly highlighted in Snyder's Dawn of the Dead vs Resident Evil: Retribution, which recreates its opening scene, and generally tries to deconstruct self-serious zombie cinema.
Damn Jovovich is the most beautiful woman alive.
Her daughter looks like an actual clone. Looking forward to when she's doing movies
I've only walked out of two movies, this is one of them.

>No more mind-bending, gut-wrenching, synapse-melting, laws of physics breaking down, slow burn black hole kino since this movie
When will movies ever be good again?
its not very good
but the film looks great
Love me some good space opera. I can't think of any other good films aside from Sunshine, Alien and Paradox though
I don't remember this shot. Is it from the rapid-cut hell sequences?
Yes one of them.
