I've always wanted a sequel to Event Horizon. I do wonder how much of Warhammer 40k inspired the movie. I know he garnered inspiration from things like Alien, and such, but going into interdimensional space to travel vast distances that ends up being a hellscape is also a aspect of Warhammer. I was always disappointed that the cut footages were lost, especially the horrific bridge scene. Just a macabre curiosity of how horrific it actually was.
I can definitely see what you mean but I've always felt like it's in the Hellraiser universe. The engine is an accidental Lament Configuration and Dr Weir is a newborn Cenobite. 😅
I've never known anybody who wasn't on the WhatCulture team who didn't think that Dr Susan MacAllister being devoured in "Deep blue sea" was as pleasant a surprise and satisfactory an ending that anybody could ask for. It's more surprising that the movie team itself didn't anticipate how inevitably detested the character would be, her bringing on the demise of almost everybody else and repeatedly making a dire situation even worse at any opportunity. That scene where she prevents Carter from killing the shark by releasing it, immediately after it having ripped off Whitlock's arm ... I doubt that many people wished her anything but a gnarly death from that moment on. I know that I did. I was however totally expecting her to get out of the movie alive and in one piece, so her ending up anything but was, like I sad, a glorious surprise that in itself elevated the movie to another level. And it wasn't like it was a bad movie to begin with.
I think you mean, "It wasn't like it was a GOOD movie to begin with," because that's the only way to see that mess, of which the slashing of arms to release blood and "come to mama" line was just the dumbest part!!! I thought we were done with idiotic devouring with a higher purpose after they got Michael freakin' Caine to be in Jaws IV: Revenge. Somewhere along the way, they lost sight of the reality it wasn't SUPPOSED to be Pirhana!
Well, actually, I was disappointed by that ending, not because I don't get that people would want her dead, but because the way that happened was so stupid and unnecessary that she could have just as well gone voluntarily swimming with the sharks as soon as they were released instead of trying to safe herself. No, she goes through that whole escape scenario just to, when it's almost done, jump into the water for no justifiable reason at all. Stupid!
@@doloreslehmann8628 they didn't realize that the sharks planned the sinking in order to get out into the sea. Free. She was smart enough to realize the one thing the shark couldn't resist was killing her, the one who tortured them. So it gave them time to kill the shark. That was the most satisfying death in a shark movie, imo.
Event Horizon, Sunshine, Alien, Lily C.A.T, Supernova, were the kind of movies where you understood that space itself was also a character in these space horror genres.
I remember watching Deep Blue Sea and loved LL Cool J in it. Judging from just about every other horror movie ever, I thought for sure he wouldn't make it out alive. I was pleasantly surprised when they switched things up and killed the female scientist and had LL's character survived instead.
Deep blue sea was definitely the right call! I remember watching it with my brother and we both thought LL Cool J didn't stand a chance of surviving... The only redeeming thing about that movie was the "unexpected" ending
That’s what they left out of this video for some reason. They swapped deaths. LL was suppose to die but the test audience liked him so much made him survive.
The Brazil ‘love saves the day’ version was different in other ways besides the end. They took out much of his ‘dream sequences’ too. They showed that abomination on network TV decades ago and I was horrified. I own the ‘boxed set’ in which its contained
just a small comment, but Saffron Burrows' character wasn't trying to escape at the end of "Deep Blue Sea". She deliberately cut her hand to lure the last shark back in range of the crossbow wielding Thomas Jane.
In the commentaries, the director said she HAD to die, because she was basically Dr Frankenstein and needed to by killed by her creatures for atonement.
I watched Event Horizon with my husband 15 years ago because he kept going on about how awesome it was. I’ve never watched it again because it scared the absolute shit out of me 😂. I love scary movies too. It was just too much for me. I can’t imagine a scarier version
I can't stand any movies about possession. There was another sci-fi one but I forget the name, They're starting to die in an orbiting space station and the problem turns out to be the devil. Once the eyes turn yellow I turn off the set.
Your point about the fleeting nature of technology still stands, but I believe the Sheinberg/studio cut of “Brazil” has made it all the way up to the Blu-Ray version of the Criterion box set.
Hey now, I’m from Nova Scotia and not often does it get classified in movies so don’t take it away from us, lol. World War Z’s ending though filmed in the UK is meant to be Freeport Nova Scotia… lol. He landed in NS to regroup with family and showed future fight backs.
The epic movie about D-Day -The Longest Day (1962) originally had a more downbeat ending. The final cut ends with Robert Mitchum lighting a fresh cigar and climbing into a Jeep and saying to the driver ‘run me up that hill son’ as the camera pans over US troops advancing from Omaha Beach with a cheerful upbeat score. However the first cut of the film had, as the final scene, a wounded GI sitting on a pile of ammo crates staring silently out to the sea as the camera pans back revealing a row of corpses under tarpaulins lying behind him. The scene was intended to sombrely remind the audience the heavy cost of the Allied victory. But the studio felt that ending was too depressing and the film ended with the Robert Mitchum scene instead.
Somewhere In Time is also a very good novel. Written by Richard Matheson who also wrote I Am Legend, Stir Of Echoes, and What Dreams May Come, among other stuff.
I don't think it was as bad as let on. I think the flak it gets is because it was such a departure from the ambience and feel of the first movie. It was more of a traditional like horror movie than a found footage movie. Since the FF type of films were all the rage at the time, the sequel might have come off to some as kind of a sell out. Although the sex murder party in the woods was really kind of a shocker.
the alternate ending or extended ending to 97's cube where we find out what happened to the last survivor, the ending was destroyed by the director wanting it to be ambiguous
I worked on the Robin Williams movie Jack and we shot a completely different ending..test audiences felt it was too sad. I don’t think the ending exists anymore
Holy moly! I actually saw the right version of Brazil! My date & I went to a little theater outside of LA to see it. Loved the sad ending; sorry that the studio didn’t understand it.
Heard the event horizon meant initially has prequel for 40k with the event of the movie being the first ship the attempt to enter the imeterium (or how you spell it), basically pocket universe character in 40k use to move faster than light that is control by the chaos gods that make everyone unprepared in them to go insane and die horribly and it’s even very hard for characters in 40 k to deal with it so in the event horizon time frame it was more than death sentence
@@chimera9818 nope 40k wasn't as big when event horizon was released also there's no official links between anyone who had anything to do with event horizon or Warhammer
Being a huge Romero fan I prefer the ending we got in that film. It wouldn't have fit with rest of the films where there's always at least 1 or 2 survivors. Plus Ken Foree's character just didn't seem like the type to go out like that. I could see him going out by becoming overcome with anger that Roger is gone now and he goes on a rampage killing zombies until one gets him. Fran on the other hand I could've definitely seen taking the easy way out with everything she went through and her mental decline throughout the film. All that being said I'm surprised they didn't bring up the fact that the original Day of the Dead was changed alot more than Dawn. There was so much more to the orignal script that would've changed alot of things and they only changed these things because of budget not because people didn't like the ideas. Probably at least an hour of the film was scrapped unfortunately.
"Carrie" originally ended with a rain of stones coming down from the sky and destroying the Whites' house. You can actually see stones punching holes in the ceiling in the film. They built a 1/4 scale model of the actual house, and then set up a conveyor belt to drop rocks onto the model. Unfortunately, the belt jammed and they were on a time crunch to shoot the scene. So, Brian De Palma just started yelling "just burn down the house!" As such, we get the house fire that we get in the final cut of the film.
I distinctly remember an alternative ending to "The Jerk" where the camera pulls back from the family's shack to show a mansion that the family built with the invested money that Navin had sent them.
I have seen both endings to Brazil. I had seen the depressing ending first, and was stunned when I saw that the picture had ended early the second time I saw it.
It definitely deserved to be in the spotlight a bit since not many people have watched or even know about it. A great if very tragic film. The part where he 'wakes up' is haunting.
Why isn't this video called "10 movie endings changed by studios" or something to that effect? The title makes it sound like the endings of these movies were patched out of existence like a video game update and implies we used to be able to watch them regularly. It's not that we couldn't see them previously, they were never widely available to the public in the first place....
When I saw the Tom Hanks movie, "Big" in theaters back in the 80's, I remember seeing an alternate ending where it is implied that Susan also makes a wish on the Zoltar to become younger, and the film ends with a shot of Josh in a school classroom, and the camera pans over to see a young Susan sitting next to him. I swear this ending happened, but I cannot find any evidence of it online anywhere. Does anyone else remember this alternate ending, or have more info on it? It's almost so scare, it's like an urban legend at this point...
"If you don't take into account the possibility that your test animals might develop human-level intelligence and a desire to exterminate Humanity, you deserve to be eaten alive." Well, that makes perfect sense.
Depends on where you live. Hail to the King ending is the alternate ending in quite a few nations. While slept too long is seemingly originally the alternate ending only in the North American areas
@@faelirra There was a period of time in the U.S. where you the only version of Army of Darkness you could buy had the original ending attached to it. I remember a friend buying a copy and after seeing it, I couldn't bring myself to buy any copy as they all seemed to have the downer ending instead of the Captain S-Mart ending that I loved more. Yeah, it was included as a special feature... but it wasn't attached to the movie. Thankfully the Screwhead edition actually has the Captain S-Mart ending in its rightful place.
All I know is I love movies the directors cut of Event Horizon shows us what makes sense while the cinema version shows us an ending that we can live with, of course those of us who have to have an ending. I think many of us know that there is no ending to Infinity. Just think of In the mouth of madness. We know that this is only the beginning of the end. Do you read sutter cane ??
John Carpenter movie The Thing ended with a dog running away from the ruined base in the morning. I seen that ending several times but later viewings don't have it. I believe the Thing had escaped in an infected dog as the men were burning the original thus their entire efforts to stop it were already too late.
@@wilcee238 If you are talking about the film about the Norwegians finding the space ship and creature then no, I seen that scene with the dog yrs before the reboot. Of course The Thing starring Kirk Russell could be considered a reboot of the Original 1950's film The Thing from another World starring James Arness as the Thing. If that is what you are refering to then I take your point.
I have not seen all these, but most of them and Brazil is by far the best and should be watched by anyone who loves a GREAT movie. I knew about the alternate ending many years ago and everytime I watch it, part of me wants the fairy book ending, but when it's all said and done, the version that it is works when you really break it all down and realize the goverment is never your friend.
Cujo apparently has an alternative ending. It originally ended like the book, but audiences found it too depressing, so they changed it. I'm glad they did.
Gerry's family wasn't in Wales, they were in Nova Scotia. Before he wound up reunited with his family, he was in Wales with Segen at the W.H.O., where they figured out how to camouflage themselves against the infected.
Would love to see a Directors Cut of Event Horizon. I have the 1998 DVD and it does have a scene where he fights the burning man, his friend who had died in a fire. They must be talking about extra footage I guess or maybe a whole other scene entirely.
Yeah, I have that DVD as well and the entire "Event Horizon" segment of this video confused me tbh. It felt like he was talking about stuff I'd actually seen..
The first Butterfly Effect film had an alternate ending where the main character ends up going back to an embryo state and causes a miscarriage. But now it's just the one where he's at a party as a kid and pushes his future girlfriend away. Prefer the miscarriage ending better (makes more sense!) but can't find a version with that ending anymore!
Have you done a list of movies that had alternate endings in different cinemas? Clue had 5 different endings, and you didn't know which one you would get. I have the DVD with all the endings. Then there's Butterfly Effect, which had two very different endings.
The REAL Dawn at 2! 😎 The mythos says they did a makeup test with 'Boris' (the dummy you see used throughout the film), rising into the chopper blades...and it just didn't work. Rather than pushing Savini further, Romero rethought the ending. There are a couple of stills of the crew on the roof doing the test, online.
I've always wanted to see the cut scenes from Highlander 1 but sadly the footage was destroyed in a warehouse fire years before the dvd was even made so they'll never be seen.
Just started video so not sure if it's on this list but Saw 4. The Unrated version changed the ending, which was the best part in the original version. In the original you see Hoffman stand up and get out of the chair hes cuffed in. In the Unrated version they completely edited it out.
'Sheinberg's' godawful 94 min. alternate/TV/whatever the hell cut (known as Love Conquers All) of Brazil is on the Criterion blu ray. Worth a look, especially the commentary track - just a laughable, cluess neutering of a brilliant film. At least he wasnt able to strip Michael Kamen's glorious score, as he wanted to!
Is the "fan cut" of Blair Witch 2 available anywhere? I would love to see it. The director took some of his ideas from one of my favorite plays, "Six Characters in Search of an Author," and I've heard the commentary track which makes his original cut something I would love to see.
As much as I hate how Dewey went out, I'm glad that the directors stuck to their guns in regards to his fate. Even though it made no sense for his character to ignore the rules, the impact of his death was a perfect shock to fans.
Shock? It was pretty obvious they were going to 'off' him when he threw everyone on the elevator and reloaded his gun. Radio Silence stink at writing and suspense
The Neverending Story. When I watched it as a kid, at the end where Bastion calls out the name, the sound of the storm drowns out what he says. It left me wondering for years what name he called out. Fast forward roughly 30ish years, my wife and I were watching it with the kids. Only this time, we could clearly hear the name. Attempts by me to find a clip of the ending as I remember it have thus far failed.
The original ending of ‘Return of the Jedi’ where Sebastian Shaw is Anakin Skywalker and all three Force Ghosts are the age they are when they died instead of one randomly backwards aging 23 years.
If I’m being honest, I could’ve sworn that I saw the scene from event horizon where Lawrence Fishburn battles the burning man who becomes Sam Neil. I was young and it was late at night on satellite. Idk.
Dewey didn’t sacrifice himself for Tara. After Tara and her sister were safely on the elevator, Dewey went back to kill Ghostface, when he (needlessly) died.
Dewey deserved a much better ending and Neve deserved more respect in regards to the upcoming Scream movie. Sad when an iconic franchise loses the spark that made it iconic to begin with.
I can't help but giggle at how whenever they talk about Scream they always pronounce Neve's name incorrectly. I remember it rhymes with Bev since that's my mom's name lol
Director's cut of "Stigmata" had Frankie die from the final wound (Spear of Destiny), as she is seen with doves perching on her...and she slowly disappears into the garden, while Father Kiernan cradles her lifeless body on the bench. Kind of a bummer of an alt. ending, especially considering that Father Kiernan excorcised Father Alameida from Frankie. The exorcism should've immediately halted the final wound.
There was a different ending to the movie Jagged Edge that I seen. I saw it twice and was surprised the second time around that the ending was different. But everyone involved says it isn’t so, which is crazy to me
Saffron Burrows character was garbage in deep blue sea, but even with the test audience fixing her arc up it kind of appears Hollywood may have taken the wrong info from that since they thought she was likeable in the first place and she seems to have multiplied.
i dont get the title. it implies that we could see the ending before but not any more. but that doesnt appear to be what its about. more like changes between preproduction endings and the final result.
It's not what she was trying to do, but how she was trying to do it in the end. Her failure to end the mistake after realizing the full hellish gravity of it turns her into the evil mad scientist of sorts, and therefore the proxy villain of the film.
That is the _worst_ summary of Event Horizon I have ever heard. Whoever wrote this apparently never saw the film. An actual description would be that the movie is about an experimental ship with the very first Faster Than Light drive invented by humans, which disappears after the first use of the FTL drive, reappearing several years later, and a rescue ship reaches it only to discover that everyone on the ship killed each other and the ship is now a warped eldritch location, because the hyperspace that the FTL drive took the ship through is a sanity-destroying extradimensional Hell, and the ship came back infused with hyperspatial evil.
Never realised Event Horizon flopped. Went to see it on release and the theatre was sold out - we had to sit in the front row. Which, while also being under the influence, was pretty unsettling

Yeah, it was included as a special feature... but it wasn't attached to the movie. Thankfully the Screwhead edition actually has the Captain S-Mart ending in its rightful place.
Deep Blue Sea, World War Z and Dawn 79 made the right call with those endings.
Event Horizon scared the shit out of me the 1st time I've seen it...the noises when the ship was in hell were sick
The actor who played the helicopter zombie in Dawn of the dead is my friend Jim krut, I'll send him this video, he might get a kick out of it
I saw the burning man ending of Event Horizon on VHS when it came out, and the DVD version I own has the same ending.
In World War Z, he goes to meet his family in Nova Scotia which is in Canada, not Wales.
To live and die in LA, the two "hero's" ended up in Alaska. Yes I saw both endings. I've seen both endings of Brazil as well.
The plural of ‘hero’ is ‘heroes.’
The great thing that most people miss is that the theme music by Wang Chung is not even about the "heroes" but about their slave.
All I know is I love movies the directors cut of Event Horizon shows us what makes sense while the cinema version shows us an ending that we can live with, of course those of us who have to have an ending. I think many of us know that there is no ending to Infinity. Just think of In the mouth of madness. We know that this is only the beginning of the end. Do you read sutter cane ??
John Carpenter movie The Thing ended with a dog running away from the ruined base in the morning. I seen that ending several times but later viewings don't have it. I believe the Thing had escaped in an infected dog as the men were burning the original thus their entire efforts to stop it were already too late.
That was the Thing reboot, not the original
@@wilcee238 If you are talking about the film about the Norwegians finding the space ship and creature then no, I seen that scene with the dog yrs before the reboot. Of course The Thing starring Kirk Russell could be considered a reboot of the Original 1950's film The Thing from another World starring James Arness as the Thing. If that is what you are refering to then I take your point.
@@wilcee238 true... but the original movie also had an 'infected dog running away' ending for some TV viewings.
"Love Conquers All" version of Brazil is currently available on a Criterion blu-ray, not just on the old DVD set or laserdisc.
and im sure there are numerous rips of said blu-ray too .. ;)
I have not seen all these, but most of them and Brazil is by far the best and should be watched by anyone who loves a GREAT movie. I knew about the alternate ending many years ago and everytime I watch it, part of me wants the fairy book ending, but when it's all said and done, the version that it is works when you really break it all down and realize the goverment is never your friend.
Cujo apparently has an alternative ending. It originally ended like the book, but audiences found it too depressing, so they changed it.
I'm glad they did.
Same here.
"You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" LOL
Gerry's family wasn't in Wales, they were in Nova Scotia. Before he wound up reunited with his family, he was in Wales with Segen at the W.H.O., where they figured out how to camouflage themselves against the infected.
I thought so. Drives me mad when channels are supposed to be doing research about their material but get simple, easily researched facts wrong.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Would love to see a Directors Cut of Event Horizon. I have the 1998 DVD and it does have a scene where he fights the burning man, his friend who had died in a fire. They must be talking about extra footage I guess or maybe a whole other scene entirely.
Yeah, I have that DVD as well and the entire "Event Horizon" segment of this video confused me tbh. It felt like he was talking about stuff I'd actually seen..
I have some of these on the original VHS tapes all scenes included. Event Horizon special edition Directors cut should already be out in some stores.
The first Butterfly Effect film had an alternate ending where the main character ends up going back to an embryo state and causes a miscarriage. But now it's just the one where he's at a party as a kid and pushes his future girlfriend away. Prefer the miscarriage ending better (makes more sense!) but can't find a version with that ending anymore!
My dad actually has the dvd with both versions on it. I remember watching them both when I was younger.
Have you done a list of movies that had alternate endings in different cinemas? Clue had 5 different endings, and you didn't know which one you would get. I have the DVD with all the endings. Then there's Butterfly Effect, which had two very different endings.
The REAL Dawn at 2! 😎 The mythos says they did a makeup test with 'Boris' (the dummy you see used throughout the film), rising into the chopper blades...and it just didn't work. Rather than pushing Savini further, Romero rethought the ending. There are a couple of stills of the crew on the roof doing the test, online.
NuCLEAR war, not nuCULAR...
... and it's Gilliam with a HARD G.
but were all TIK on you tube! lol
The title is misleading. Most of these endings you could never see in the first place.
I think I still have the last movie, but with the girl living tho, I remember watching about 2 months ago, I'll probably look around for it
What Tha! Event Horizon no wonder I couldn’t find it after watching it all those years ago this whole time I thought it was a Hellraiser Movie
Rob Reiner, rhymes with Whiner.
Can’t believe that guy is a special effects expert lol always thought he was just known for movies like this. Like the vampire one with clooney.
I've always wanted to see the cut scenes from Highlander 1 but sadly the footage was destroyed in a warehouse fire years before the dvd was even made so they'll never be seen.
I have a vhs copy of event horizon at home and ending is a fightwith a burned friend who then transformes into sam neil that is the ending I know
Just started video so not sure if it's on this list but Saw 4.
The Unrated version changed the ending, which was the best part in the original version. In the original you see Hoffman stand up and get out of the chair hes cuffed in. In the Unrated version they completely edited it out.
'Sheinberg's' godawful 94 min. alternate/TV/whatever the hell cut (known as Love Conquers All) of Brazil is on the Criterion blu ray. Worth a look, especially the commentary track - just a laughable, cluess neutering of a brilliant film. At least he wasnt able to strip Michael Kamen's glorious score, as he wanted to!
"Struggle to see" isn't quite the same thing as "can no longer see", re: Brazil.
de facto
Is the "fan cut" of Blair Witch 2 available anywhere? I would love to see it. The director took some of his ideas from one of my favorite plays, "Six Characters in Search of an Author," and I've heard the commentary track which makes his original cut something I would love to see.
I got ya dude. I put a comment on an old vid of yours with a link code for the Agent Sam Stanley Fan Recut.
This was fun to watch 🙂
What are you talking about? I have Event Horizon right here on VHS and all those scenes you showed in this video are in there.
I used to love Blair Witch 2, but in hindsight, I think I just had a crush on the goth girl lol
There are 2 versions of "Little shop of horrors" and other movies do a video on that it would be nice.
As much as I hate how Dewey went out, I'm glad that the directors stuck to their guns in regards to his fate. Even though it made no sense for his character to ignore the rules, the impact of his death was a perfect shock to fans.
Shock? It was pretty obvious they were going to 'off' him when he threw everyone on the elevator and reloaded his gun. Radio Silence stink at writing and suspense
The Neverending Story. When I watched it as a kid, at the end where Bastion calls out the name, the sound of the storm drowns out what he says. It left me wondering for years what name he called out. Fast forward roughly 30ish years, my wife and I were watching it with the kids. Only this time, we could clearly hear the name. Attempts by me to find a clip of the ending as I remember it have thus far failed.
Event Horizon is a great underrated movie
Brazil ending is my favorite ending of all time. I don't even like the rest of the movie to be honest, but the ending makes it all come together.
The original ending of ‘Return of the Jedi’ where Sebastian Shaw is Anakin Skywalker and all three Force Ghosts are the age they are when they died instead of one randomly backwards aging 23 years.
I thought the misery one was gonna be the ride on lawnmower death from the book. Gutted they didn't film that
Re watched Event Horizon , good movie...
I think I have the 3 cut edition Criterion of Brazil?
If I’m being honest, I could’ve sworn that I saw the scene from event horizon where Lawrence Fishburn battles the burning man who becomes Sam Neil. I was young and it was late at night on satellite. Idk.
Dewey didn’t sacrifice himself for Tara. After Tara and her sister were safely on the elevator, Dewey went back to kill Ghostface, when he (needlessly) died.
The new Scream films are pretty bad
Dewey deserved a much better ending and Neve deserved more respect in regards to the upcoming Scream movie. Sad when an iconic franchise loses the spark that made it iconic to begin with.
I can't help but giggle at how whenever they talk about Scream they always pronounce Neve's name incorrectly. I remember it rhymes with Bev since that's my mom's name lol
Director's cut of "Stigmata" had Frankie die from the final wound (Spear of Destiny), as she is seen with doves perching on her...and she slowly disappears into the garden, while Father Kiernan cradles her lifeless body on the bench. Kind of a bummer of an alt. ending, especially considering that Father Kiernan excorcised Father Alameida from Frankie. The exorcism should've immediately halted the final wound.
Wow, I love Stigmata and didn't even know that an alternate ending existed.
World War Zeee? I guess Zed is truly dead
Depends on country
Too bad they keep showing the movie, in general.
Probably because the book is called World War Z. Not Zed...
If they still exist they'll hit RUclips eventually.
No mention of the Blade Runner "happy ending" with extracts from The Shining?
Star Wars return of the Jedi with the original music and Sebastian Shaw
No The Shining?
There was a different ending to the movie Jagged Edge that I seen. I saw it twice and was surprised the second time around that the ending was different. But everyone involved says it isn’t so, which is crazy to me
"Did your mother ever wash your mouth out with soap and water?". "Yeah, but it didn't do any fuckin' good"🤣
Saffron Burrows character was garbage in deep blue sea, but even with the test audience fixing her arc up it kind of appears Hollywood may have taken the wrong info from that since they thought she was likeable in the first place and she seems to have multiplied.
i dont get the title. it implies that we could see the ending before but not any more. but that doesnt appear to be what its about. more like changes between preproduction endings and the final result.
Event Horizon did indeed include the burning man fight scene in my DVD copy so I have no clue what this guy means by never get to see
It’s oddly dark to fault a woman trying to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. I’m surprised a test audience would choose her death over that.
It's not what she was trying to do, but how she was trying to do it in the end. Her failure to end the mistake after realizing the full hellish gravity of it turns her into the evil mad scientist of sorts, and therefore the proxy villain of the film.
Have you actually seen the movie?
1:51 Ah yes, the horrifying "Nucular War" 😂
"Nucular, son. It's pronounced Nucular"...
That is the _worst_ summary of Event Horizon I have ever heard. Whoever wrote this apparently never saw the film.
An actual description would be that the movie is about an experimental ship with the very first Faster Than Light drive invented by humans, which disappears after the first use of the FTL drive, reappearing several years later, and a rescue ship reaches it only to discover that everyone on the ship killed each other and the ship is now a warped eldritch location, because the hyperspace that the FTL drive took the ship through is a sanity-destroying extradimensional Hell, and the ship came back infused with hyperspatial evil.
Never realised Event Horizon flopped. Went to see it on release and the theatre was sold out - we had to sit in the front row. Which, while also being under the influence, was pretty unsettling
