Event Horizon (1997) first time reaction
I saw this film in the theater when I was 17. Went back and saw it three or four times. During my first viewing, I imagine my jumpy reactions were just like yours. Still my favorite sci-fi horror.
Event horizon is what happens whenyou forget the gellar field in warhammer 40k.
If you are looking for something simmilar to alien check out species from 1995
Orks: Gellar Field?
Funny that this movie’s lasting legacies are
1. Having the wormhole demonstration ripped off in like every space movie after this
AND
2. Being memed as a “Warhammer prequel”
I like to think this takes place in the same universe as the Hellraiser movies 😄
A seriously underrated film.
It's essentially Lovecraftian "cosmic horror" -- what better place to set it than in space?
Insanity is common in Lovecraft's stories -- the idea being that there are these cosmic entities so utterly alien to our understanding that coming into contact with them essentially destroys the human mind.
In some ways this story is akin to Stephen King's short story "The Jaunt" about a future time when instantaneous teleportation is possible and human beings routinely make use of it. In the story a family is going on a vacation to Mars and they are going to teleport there. However all people have to be anaesthetized before using the teleporter -- in the early days of the technology test subjects who teleported while awake come out the other side completely insane and die shortly thereafter. On this particular trip, when the sleeping gas is being administered, the family's son holds his breath and only pretends to be asleep. Moments later when the family arrives on Mars, they are awoken to discover their son is twisted and withered and scratching his own eyes out while screaming "It's longer than you think Dad!" The idea being that when teleporting, although the journey appears instantaneous from our perspective, in whatever dimension you actually travel through it takes millions of years through some nightmarish place that the human mind is simply not equipped to handle.
The Event Horizon -- being inert and lifeless matter, can survive passage through the other dimension although people can clearly cannot. But as DJ notes, it has brought something back with it. By the rules of a dimension of pure chaos, there's no reason why a ship can't be a living thing, and now it is a living thing that no longer belongs here as it is a perversion of all the natural laws that govern our universe.
The no-eyes thing is I think both literal and symbolic. You experience the chaos dimension directly in the mind, in the consciousness -- you cannot cover your eyes or your ears there -- those defense measures depend on natural law which is abrogated in a dimension of chaos -- you might as well rip your eyes out because you will see anyway. On the symbolic level -- it is often said the eyes are the windows of the soul. The vision Weir has of his wife is the Event Horizon communicating with him. She has no eyes because that's not his wife, that thing has no soul. When Weir surrenders to the evil entity the ship has become, he tears out his own eyes. He's rendered soulless... that's not Doctor Weir anymore -- that's a meat puppet through which the ship acts.
The movie has levels to it which some folks overlook -- dismissing it as a "Hellraiser knock-off". That does the film a real disservice and is IMO undeserved. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This was always one of my favorite films growing up, scared the hell out of me.
I remember seeing this in theaters and being fairly underwhelmed. It wasn't until years later when I finally rewatched it that I actually enjoyed it. I still think it's kind of dumb, but it's creepy enough and plays with some 'fun' ideas.
I am fully expecting all the jump scares in this to be pretty funny with Elie watching.
One of the few movies that actually needs a remake because it’s such a good premise but the execution is too corny for me to really find scary at all.
@@Crinbo I think for most people this movie is more enjoyable as a group thing or all alone in the dark type of thing. If it's just on TV and you happen to watch it like during the day time and you just happen to catch it, it may not have the same effect. First time I seen it was with a group of friends back when social media wasn't a thing and you had no choice but to hangout 😂. We 420ed got drinks and snacks and watched it late night on a really big screen with an awesome surround sound. We had a great time.😁💯
The doors closing are meaning the ship locking down on them.
You Like this movie about next crew up next crew up next crew up then watch
Sunshine sci-fi I think it's 2002
And Deep Rising 90's
Go in blind to both
You need to crank up the movie's audio level.
How's it going?
Good brev
