Original Movie: Event Horizon 
Развлечения
Whoever wrote the script and the character Miller (Laurence Fishburne) was tired of people in charge in horror movies making stupid decisions. He's making all the right judgements throughout; "Don't go near that!" "Close that down." "We're getting out of here." etc.
Makes the villain scarier when the smart decisions don't help.
I always loved how competent and no-nonsense Miller is in the film. Actually, the whole crew is basically competent…they’re just up against something they can’t fathom.
FUCK THIS SHIP
Best horror movie scene ever
[Ultra gory montage of archive footage]
Miller: "...We're leaving."
Saying what everyone would be thinking at that moment.
Yep, it's one of the (many) things I love about this movie. Miller recognizes there's danger, doesn't know what it is, and doesn't give a damn. Time to nope out, nuke it, and move on XD
Ah yes, the first movie set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe - mankind’s first encounter with the warp!
It’s confirmed the director was a 40K fan
It's probably an Imperial educational film about the dangers of not traveling with a Gellar field.
@@HistoritorJimaldus also its confirmed that this movie was an inspiration for the "Dead Space" Games
Or its just a space horror film that has nothing to do with your nerd toys
They are not toys! They are little men we like to touch and paint all pretty... Oh shit they are nerd toys!
Not that the film needs to be attached to another franchise, you could easily say this was the precursor to the Doom universe too, but it is a nice idea all the same.
I'm glad it still gets some love, shame the original edit is lost to the vaults of a castle and time... Or was it a salt mine.@@fredarsenault8987
"The 90's were built different." 🤣
And in the 90s we thought the 70s were built different. It's hilarious to find that people today think the 90s were hardcore when we thought--at the time--that they were tame.
@@Theomite
It’s only in retrospect when you can really evaluate the times you lived through. When you’re in it, it’s just…reality I guess.
Although speaking for myself, I can safely say that today’s reality SUCKS. I’d take the ‘90s OR ‘70s over this current shit show.
@@keefriff99 just wait for the world war to start.
@@keefriff99 I mean, if we're talking about the content of movies, we can go reevaluate them from now. I think it's safe to say that modern movies are less hardcore. The one thing that was universally toned down is nudity and sex. Violence can still be there in copious amounts, but it feels like it's more compartmentalised by genre, and mainstream action movies have less of it (consider how modern blockbusters are for example superhero MCU movies, whereas in the 90s they were action movies like Lethal Weapon or Die Hard). Obviously lots more serialised stuff, lots more VFX dependent genres (kinda comes with better CGI). Not sure about whether auteur movies are down - they feel down, but it might be again that they're just more compartmentalised, kept on streaming and such.
@@keefriff99I would have *NEVER* have believed you, if had told me back then, that I'd miss the 90s! 🤣😂🤣
One of the creepiest things the ship does is when, after the young guy has pushed the button to force the airlock open in 30 seconds, it all of a sudden just lets him regain his sanity long enough to realize what's about to happen. So messed up!
Yeah that was so mean.
I love how rational the decisions of the crew are in this movie, they don't die from ineptitude they die because a saboteur REALLY wants to go to hell
19:26 the most rational decision after witnessing such atrocities
"we're leaving"
True, but unfortunately if you are seeing those horrors, it's already too late to leave. The ship won't let you leave
The most rational decision in horror movies ever. Usually, the decisions are something stupid like "Let's split up with nothing to protect ourselves but our flashlights." 😅
19:36 the least rational decision after witnessing such atrocities
"I'm gonna say out loud that I will blow up this sentient ship while I'm still on it."
@@Theomitedid you actually watch the movie? it wouldn't have made any difference wether they said it aloud or not. The ship was able to look into their minds and learn their past secrets and experiences. The ship even recreated horrific events from the past that the crew members never told anyone about.
If the ship can read your innermost thoughts, how are you going to hide the fact that you intend to blow it up?
How can you carry out such a plan without thinking about it?
"Fuck this ship!!"
The song during the credits is The Prodigy - Funky Sh!t
The Prodigy was very big at the time. Funny I was just listening to them last night.
Was about to post the song title. Glad somebody did. Really, this whole album is great... and not just because there's a crab on the cover.
My mom’s been playing that album for me since I was a baby! It holds up to this day
Another great horror film with Sam Neil is "In the Mouth of Madness" I highly recommend that one.
I recommend "Possession" (1981) too.
Do you read Sutter Caine?!
@@FallenRingbearer "Your are my mommy. You know what day it is ? Today it's mommy's day" (ruclips.net/video/tHwk58AsdAU/видео.html)
@@FabioLeprechaun Possession is the better movie
That would rock to see here! I don't think she could handle Possession (1981) though
Thank God for uncles who would bring children to the theater to see this.
based uncles!
Yeah, I saw it when I was 15 in the theater when it came out with one of my uncles. This one of the only movies that ever actually scared me.
Older brothers too. I don't know what my parents were thinking with a lot of the stuff I was allowed to watch before I was 10
I’m hoping to be that uncle when my nephews get older 😂
Dad took me. I was 9
There was a FX mistake during shooting that helped make this movie a classic.
The ships were models, but the skies were digital, so the 2 departments were out of touch with each other and the VFX team didn't know the ship was supposed to be in a cloudy atmosphere. By the time they caught it, the trailers had already been sent out. So all the commercials & trailers had the Event Horizon in space above Neptune; no finished FX shots were in it. So everybody who went to see it thought this was a generic "haunted spaceship" movie, but with blood and boobs (this was the era when almost all movies were PG-13).
*We had absolutely NO idea we were getting HELLRAISER in space.*
By the time we figured it out, it had left theaters with disappointing sales. But it became a runaway hit on home video and remains one of Paramount's all-time bestselling titles.
I saw this in theaters with like, 3 other people opening weekend. I walked out of the theater into a blinding blue sky afternoon and that was a jarring contrast to say the least. It stayed in my head for a few days before I leveled back out.
It came out in the same years as "Sphere" with dustin hoffmann and it seems to me the same idea of both movies. I deciede to watch sphere and not event horizon. What a mistake, years later i watched EH and was blown away.
I love her positive attitude when she sees the ship and talking about the rocks, while I know how quickly that positivity will change.
This is one of the few movies that freaks me out.
Right? I thought the same thing.
Overlooked when it came out, but later became a cult movie to many. It's especially known among warhammer 40k fans since it's premise is inspirered by that universe.
Saw it as a kid and thought it was "just" a sci fi movie. It messed me up so much I didn't watch it again for almost 15 years
Yup, this is a cautious tale of what happens when you try to traverse the warp without a Gellar Field.
@@Shawn-st2lx Exactly: "Slaanesh infested Space Hulk detected. Avoid!!"
@@QuayNemSorr
i'd say this one is more Tzeentch's doing ; the influence gave Weir hope about his wife and a drive to get a little funky wunky about the order of the universe and that's Tzeentch to a Tz
@QuayNemSorr
They should make a sequel to this - Event Horizon 2: Space Hulk 😅 featuring Dark Angels Deathwing 💀🦅 (yes I’m a DA fan since 3rd edition)
I saw it in the theaters when I was 15. This is one of maybe 2 movies that actually, truly scared me when I saw them.
I'll never forget the night I first saw this movie. A buddy of mine rented it because he thought it looked interesting so we got blazed, drank some of his homemade whiskey, turned out the lights and threw it on. Bad ideas all around... lol
Jesus FN Christ that must have been a bad trip.
Remember taking my date to see this, our town only had a 1 screen cinema, we did not know what we were in for, she was still shaking 2 hours later, best 1st watch horror movie I've seen!!
Same here. We expected a space opera. She was not happy.
"We're leaving." That was a great line delivery.
Fuck this ship
Says "This Mortal Kombat music". Funnily enough it's actually directed by the guy who directed the OG Mortal Kombat movie.
Fantastic reaction, I love this horror movie
My favourite horror movie with the smartest horror protagonist ever, because he said what they should all say, "We're leaving." Event Horizon is the only film I've watched that genuinely unsettled me, without cheap jumpscares or the standard horror tropes that most films overuse now. Just the setting is creepy, and was actually so in real life too. The actors refused to be on the set when they didn't need to be because they all found it unsettling.
Also fun fact, the infamous log scene was apparently longer and more explicit originally, but they cut some of it to allow the movie to be screened, and sadly the deleted footage was lost so those removed bits are gone forever.
"Fuck this ship."
"The deleted footage was lost so those removed bits are gone forever"
That footage featured amputees, so I have to ask... no pun intended?
We have the hell scenes in badly quality inside the box Version of the movie. As bonus not included the movie.
6:28 "It sounds like a portal ripped into hell"
Who wants to tell her?
i was like , hmm .... So innocent XD
wasn´t it Pinhead who said: "Hell to some, Home to others..."
@@Metzwerg74 NOOO PINHEAD WAS EXPLAINING TO KIRSTY WHO THEY (THE CENOBITES ARE)
"EXPLORERS, IN THE FURTHER REGIONS OF EXPERIENCE, DEMONS TO SOME ANGELS TOO OTHERS."
@@tonyyul703 i did not mean the first hellraiser... on last count, there are 10 out there, 9 "old ones" and 1 reboot...
I watch this movie as a fully grown adult, when my buddies dropped me off at home, I told them to wait in the car until I got in my house and turned on all the lights.
Hahahaha, I feel that. I know exactly what you mean
I watched this at home, by myself, at 4pm. That wasn't the best idea.
I remember seeing it in the theater and coming home to a dark house, feeling creeped out and needing to turn on the lights!
"Why does this entire place look like a torture chamber? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SPIKES??"
Funniest thing to me is I remember reading the Fangoria articles, and they deliberately went for that look specifically to get that reaction - and _then_ some physicist working on similar theories pointed out that it kinda looked like the kind of spikes used to generate strong magnetic fields - the kind that would be needed to contain a baby black hole, as in the movie...
@@snorpenbass4196 you got a link to that?
This movie by many is considered a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer 40K universe. "Hell" was the Warp and the Chaos gods influenced the minds of the crew.
The clue was: "A dimension of pure chaos" which the Warp is in WH40K.
Funny thing is the screenwriter didn't plan it to be. Originally, the ship broke space/time and the crew went mad from temporal dissociation. The ship emerged under a dead star and an entity nearby got on the ship just before it jumped back. But Anderson told him this was too complicated, so they retrofitted the backstory to the Hell scenario we know now. But it was just a conventional cosmic horror film at first.
Prequel? Warhmmer is from the 80s or not?
@@Morris1581 Prequel in that it's a story taking place before the main 40k timeline.
One of my all time favourites.
'Where we're going, we won't need eyes'.
19:34 This is like the smartest idea ever proposed in horror/sci-fi movie history. I remember going to see this in the theater, and everyone was both laughing, and cheering. to hell with "understanding the ship," you're getting off it!!! NOW!!! ....then, you're blowing it up!!
"Ghost Ship" (2002) is a similar supernatural horror.
And then there is also "Thirteen Ghosts" (2001).
Crazy how a inanimate object becomes a entity of demons. A super underrated film
The ending song is Funky Sh*t by The Prodigy off of their The Fat of the Land album. It's an amazing album.
This IS a psychological thriller. It’s a Lovecraftian horror film.
Sam Neill did a few really bizarre films, this one and "Into The Mouth of Madness". Both of them are genuinely bizarre. This film pushes the limit as to what was allowed for a Rated R film. I can only imagine what the writers of this film must imagine on a daily basis for them to come up with something like this. I can also respect the actors for their roles in this film because I can only imagine that the time spent in the makeup chair everyday was substantial. That's dedication to your craft right there. I'm glad you saw this film, if for not other reason than to be able to use it as a gauge of how extreme other films you watch are.
The man's a damned fine actor in any role, but he's particularly good at playing crazy people without hamming it up.
'Pushed the limit', by cutting roughly 30 minutes of much more graphic content that would have gotten it an NC-17 rating, *at best*, if they left it in. But, it wouldn't have made it to many, if any, theatres back then (or still).
Oh, man! Who tricked poor Vee into watching this?? lol
There's one scene that has scarred me.. can you guess what part? 😭😭
@@VKunia All of them? That is what happened to me.
@@VKunia Probably the one that had a bunch of the additional footage cut because it grossed out test audiences. The footage ended up being stored in a salt mine in Transylvania (not a joke) and was ruined.
@@VKunia
The movie is kinda like a Sci-fi Hellraiser
Sci-fi but just as gory as hellraiser
@@verdebusterAP I vote for Ghost Ship (2002) next :)
This movie is one of my favorites of all time! A haunted house movie set in space! Overlooked in its day ('97) but considered a classic of sci-fi/horror today. Another great overlooked film from the same year is THE RELIC. It's a great monster on the loose movie, and it's set in a huge, creepy museum in Chicago. Both films make a great double feature of nightmares!! Great reaction, V!!! ✌️❤️
Event Horizon: "I need crew."
Also Event Horizon: "I am gonna torture everyone on board for shits and giggles."
and those that adapt to it, will be the crew....
Part of the ship, part of the crew...now where did I hear that line?
@@brozy5720 pirates of the caribbean ?
The R-rated reboot of Disney's _The_ _Black_ _Hole_ . 😂
Also a damned underrated movie. Wish that would get an 8K restoration.
...and WALL-E is a combination of them both. LOL
I would never expect to see Event Horizon on here but it just made my DAY!! I'm not reall usually fond of horrors and jumpscares but I love this movie, it's mysterious and kinda feels like the game franchise Dead Space. It's like the closest to a "Dead Space movie" we've gotten for now.
I don't know, arguably Pandorum is a tiny bit closer to Dead Space.
For actual Dead Space movies, I recommend watching both of the animated films:
Dead Space: Downfall
Dead Space: Aftermath
Laurence Fishbourne unceremoniously asserting 'We're leaving' upon watching that messed up clip of the Event Horizon crew tearing each other limb from limb had me in hysterics, even though it creeped the hell outta me.
BTW Critical Drinker interviewed one of the people who took part in that horrifying scene, and she said it was way, way worse but the footage was cut and was subsequently lost. It'll never see the light of day.
The interior secrets of black holes are guarded by a one-way light-trapping boundary called the event horizon.
The only thing that can escape is radiation
smartest captain ever *Sees Hell Screaming video* "We're Leaving!"
Man, I can't believe you watched this one. I saw this in theaters. This movie creeped me out 😂😂😂Awesome show there, ma'am, and good luck sleeping tonight. I had nightmares after seeing it 😂😂😂
The director did an interview where they stated that a longer version of the "Blood Orgy" scene existed. He said it was the preferred version and ideally they'd do a directors cut with it. However the original film reels were damaged in storage and the extended scene lost forever. C'est la Vie...
They talk about it in this video ruclips.net/video/bdvMjGeqvSE/видео.html
This is the ammended version. The original version was shown for rating and rejected due to it's graphic nature. The one copy of the original, stored on film, was stored in a repurposed Transylvanian salt mine. Due to an improperly sealed container the film degraded beyond uesfulness. The original version has and will only be seen by the people who made it and the committee resposible for the rating system.
2028: That version came back. 😂
@@davidmcleod5133 And the studio sent a team to investigate it.
I'm not denying it's true and I have heard it before in various places.
But you got to admit it 100% sounds like a story cooked up by the studio for marketing purposes, an urban legend purposefully put out there.
I mean, not only a salt mine, but a transylvanian one too!!
Again, doesn't mean it is so, truth is sometimes weirder than fiction, after all.
I remember this is theaters . My dad was a marine and I grew up on so much horror and gore… no regrets. Just a spooky place to be .also in most operations like most jobs, gets certain agreements
I always loved Cpt. Miller. "We're leaving" and "Eff this ship" are some of the most sensible lines ever uttered in a horror movie.
17:15 - "Wouldn't he explode?" - No, that's a myth. However, if he tried to hold his breath, the lack of pressure would cause his lungs to rupture.
BTW, is it just me, or does Cooper (Richard T. Jones) sound pretty much identical to Denzel Washington? The first time I saw this, I thought it WAS Denzel Washington.
The extremely rare ocation of mixing the supernatural with sci-fi, its why I love this movie
And yes we know which scene stuck with you and you can't ever unsee 😂
I wouldn't say "extremely rare", there's Doom (the games more than the films), Warhammer 40K, Vampire Hunter D, Ghosts of Mars, Hellraiser: Bloodline (kind of), Hellboy, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, it's the very basis of Ghostbusters, "Hey, ghosts are real, let's strap on a nuclear battery and lasso them with it!".
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8psTrue, good examples, tough it remains rare in Hollywood
You usually get either sci-fi or horror, I wish both were mixed more often
@@D-Pooly I think, Alien fits into that area
Fun fact: The original "directors" cut of this was FORTY MINUTES longer but due to initial test audience reaction that it was just too extreme the studio ordered such extensive cuts that many consider severely damaged the movie. Many of the flash clips shown are from the original much longer cut, which has now been lost and is of legendary status.
Those who worked on the set said that it was so gruelling and graphic it was probably illegal then and definitely illegal now. Cast members included sex workers and actors with limbs missing to be able to make it as graphic as possible.
A few years ago Amazon funded the development of a TV series remake so we will wait and see what rhat brings!
CLASSIC!! 🤓😆 Who doesn't love a Haunted house in Space? 👍🏽
I got so Hyped bout this movie, cause I bask in all the parallels in this to HellRaiser/Warhammer40K and the esthetics 😈🤘🏽🤓😋
next up Ghost Ship (2002)
The music from the end credits is from the band 'Prodigy' you may know some of their tracks.
Also, this was the first horror movie I watched when I was 11 years old, I had nightmares for 2 weeks straight.
I was in the military when this came out. We watched this back-to-back with Sphere.
Yeah. 😱
Not much sleep that night...
By far the best movie from Paul WS Anderson (mostly infamous for the Resident evil movie franchise)
Good story, solid cast and incredible set design (the shape of the Event horizon prow inspired the helmet for the main character in the Dead space franchise)
This movie was super scary, and I'm I love horror movies! This was way more scary than some of the slashers. Crazy.
This was the last film shot on the largest sound stage in England. I love how large these sets are, it gives so much to the general sense of paranoia and dread. Just some really solid use of set design and what’s out of frame.
I should note that this movie was marketed as a sci-fi mystery and not a straight up horror film.
The three best movies with Sam Neill - "Event Horizon" - "In The Mouth Of Madness" - "The Hunt For Red October".
Jurassic Park has to be in there somewhere.
@@Bodyknock Nice, but not near...
@@DeadpoolTesla I do like all four, personally I think I'd rank them in order as Jurassic Park, The Hunt for Red October, Event Horizon, Mouth of Madness, that's just me though.
Hells yea! 'In The Mouth of Madness' is the best Lovecraftian movie, and Lovecraft had nothing to do with it.
Don't forget about Ivanhoe (1982). It's a tradition to watch it shortly after New Year in Sweden. Dunno why.
@@KennethSorling Coincidentally I'd say Event Horizon also qualifies as a great Lovecraftian movie that had nothing to do with Lovecraft. 🙂
The endless line between the edge of a black hole and normal space is an event horizon.
I'm pretty sure "Event Horizon: no, it's not about an oil rig" was going to be the original title for the film.
Your hair looks GORGEOUS omg😩✨
I also saw this wayyy too young with older cousins
6:25 and thats why you dont turn off the gellar field.
the voices will get you. also the demon will eat your eye balls.
8:05 demons before humanity knew of demons.
9:30 be chaos be spiky
‘Who was the architect?’ Sam Neill (Dr. Weir) designed the whole ship. It’s his child. I built a guitar of my own, and I know how I feel about that; if I’d built something with the power of this ship, I’d be very possessive, too.
Movies like this is why I miss the 90s my childhood
Imagine going to the movies when this came out to watch a Sci-Fi, without even knowing it's a horror movie... That really catches you by surprise!!
7:39 your next scary movie should be Ghost Ship
I remember going to see this movie in the theaters and then afterwards me and my buddy drove up into the mountains because we are too freaked out to go home and go to bed and we sat up on top of the mountain looking up at the stars and thinking about how weird that movie was I think we were still trying to freak each other out. That’s why we went up into the dark. Just look at stars think I slept with the lights on that night.
That scary tunnel to the gravity drive is the like the insane chomping, slashing tunnel in Galaxy Quest.
26:34 literally having spikes on the inner edges of a closing door lol.
It always amazes me how good this film looks...
It's like, everything from the cinematography, to the set design, lighting, color grading, and special effects (both practical and CG) somehow look really polished and almost ahead of its time to me.
I remember having this on VHS, and taking it to my A/V class in high school, and watching the Captain's Log sequence frame by frame. I have not been the same since. Still a top five movie for me.
Nowhere near the most messed-up movie ever made, but pretty extreme. - and this is the studio-mandate cut version which has lost around 30 minutes.
It also contains, in my mind, one of the best explosions on film: using models of the ships made of flexible materials, so they tear apart like large ships, not like small plastic models...
Saw it in the cinema, everyone coming out of the film "The Full Monty" were laughing and full of joy, everyone coming out of Event Horizon had the look of death.
I feel like you got conned into watching a horror film without knowing it's a horror film.
You've not experienced Event Horizon until you've watched it while camped out on the couch with the flu slipping in and out of sleep and fever dreams. 😬
This movie *is* a fever dream.
19:21 the most sensible thing uttered in horror film history 😂
The only thing I wished they did is establish that the ship was putting the whammy on Weir as soon as he stepped on it. That would make it more obvious that he was not acting or thinking like himself.
I remember watching this in college with my buddies…we lost it when he said that.
So...Morpheus, Dr.Grant and Lucius Malfoy walk into a derelict spaceship...
I remember watching this movie when it came out in the theatres when I was 19. Those images and sounds where so burned in my memory I would see the after images and hear the Latin hours later when I would close my eyes. Took me a couple of days of watching nice and cute things to override my brain of the horror.
" _This ship sucks_ " is my favourite synopsis of this movie.
😂 "The coffee machine is disgusting. And that meeting could've been an email dude."
Cooper was awesome. "You want something hot and black inside you? You want some coffee? "😂😂😂😂
A good horror movie is either a slasher or a creeper. This is an excellent creeper.
Hey V, I remember in 1997 when the Sci Fi Channel magazine or an ad in it was promoting this film, got interested and saw it years later a few times. Fear is a real thing, this ship since it literally has been to hell and back and picked up an evil presence. I like this one, hope more reactors would watch it. I do suggest Scanners (1981) it's a cult classic sci fi favorite of mine. Nice reaction. For an old school movie about infection reminiscent of Resident Evil, I suggest Warning Sign (1985) the medical officer from Event Horizon Kathleen Quinlan is in it as a security guard.
haha. I saw this with my mom and brother in the theater when it came out. I was 12 at the time, and was a big fan of STNG, DS9, and VOY. So was my brother. We thought this was going to be like Star Trek. lol... other people brought their kids and by the end of the movie we were the only ones left in the theater. Mom let us stay till the end, but said she'd have nightmares from it. lol good times.
Seriously one of those chillers you can pop in anytime with friends for a guaranteed fun ride. Somehow, even with repeat viewings, everyone gets pulled in at all the right times. I'm fine personally with never seeing the bloodier more gruesome unrated cut that was evidently lost permanently in editing, because it still leaves an impression as is. Bonus points go to the Spanish dub released in Central and South America for being rebranded "The Starship of Death." Also, have to love Jason Isaacs for taking the full-sized replica of his strung up, disemboweled corpse after production wrapped and hanging it in his study. What a legend!
Creepy fact most people miss: If you look closely at 4:19 when Dr. Weir is looking at his wife reflected in the monitor, there is also a pair of creepy yellow eyes at the top of the screen, staring back at him.
"Most Messed up movie I've ever watched" H.P. Lovecraft giggles...
After the screening apparently, Sam Neil came out of it saying, "That's not the movie we made." Also, they lost 20 to 30 minutes of footage that would have told more about where the ship went. If you want more detail about where the ship went, check out the script and read the last few pages.
Sadly that footage is lost.
Do you know if the novelization was based on the script or the theatrical cut more? I've read the novelization. I have no idea where to find the script.
4:20
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this or not, but right at the mentioned time stamp you see some kind of control panel that Claire is sitting in front of. What most people that react to this movie miss (as did I upon first watching this) is that there seems to be a pair of eyes near the top edge. Is that a representation of the entity that has possessed the Event Horizon, looking back at and influencing Dr. Weir?
Kind of a creepy little detail 😉
I'm pretty sure this movie traumatized me when I saw it in theaters as a teen...😅
A creepy thing about the movie is there was a large amount that was cut from the movie due to being too, uh, much...including scenes of some kind of sadistic orgy. The scenes were never released in a director's cut and only existed on the physical film and never digitized. Years later they found that the original film had been destroyed due to improper storage causing the film to decay taking with it the even more messed up stuff that only the cast and crew got to see any of. I don't know why but this has always struck me as being intensely eerie.
You do know there is a lost version, uncut, and that "hell video" sequence was shot with porn stars and amputees over a night with a second crew.
Also, when the Captain says "We are leaving" he just echoes all of us.
Sadly, that footage ended up on the cutting room floor has been lost forever; even the director just about confirmed on the blu ray commentary that it simply doesn’t exist in a usable format.
I also read an interview with him & he said that the footage may exist on a VHS at very low resolution & therefore any sort of meaningful restoration would be impossible.
@@davidanderson1639 They salvaged as much as they could, but it all comes from the VHS copies of the assembly, so yeah, roughly 40% of the footage survives, but only in that resolution. It's on the Shout! Factory Blu-ray and 4K releases. However, if you can find the issue of Fangoria magazine with the coverage of the filming, most of the actual set dressing has been preserved in photo format. Thankfully, I bought that back in the day!
yep, I've always called it the Slaanesh cut
I know I'm in the minority of fans of this movie, but I have absolutely no desire to see the lost version. The movie is already pushing my personal boundaries for gore and dismemberment. The lost version would absolutely be a strong "Pass" from me.
The test audiences who saw the full version were both impressed and almost unanimously agreed that it needed to go. Same with the ratings board who guaranteed an NC-17. Not for anything in particular, just the scene as a whole.
With the clear nods to the Warp and Warhammer 40k, specifically the dark prince of pleasure as many have noted, the film itself has an awesome soundtrack and clips have been used in some AWESOME songs and films!
Me 45 seconds in when she's thinking Deep water Horizon: "OMG, you've got no clue what you're walking into!!! Ready for the ship to go to hell?!?"
Arguably the greatest underrated sci-fi horror film of all time. Your reaction to it just proves me right.
"Wow, that was horrifying. DANCE BREAK!"

Hello Vicky, someone looks very nice in orange!😊🧡 It is not too often you see a film about a spaceship that has been to Hell.😉 I think if it were made today they would show more about the Hell dimension, and leave less to our imagination. English blonde babe Joely Richardson (Starck) is a beauty. Here sister, actress Natasha Richardson (The Parent trap) died from a skiing accident.🙏🏻 There are some crazy 90s films, Vicky! Great reactions to this colt classic that has done very well on video!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
Another trippy movie you should watch is In The Mouth Of Madness, also starring Sam Neill.
For other movies travelling through hell is awe inspiring nightmare fuel, for warhammer 40k it's Tuesday.
If you want 2 more 90s cult classics, check out Virus and Dark City. Virus does the jump scares and dark city carries that Gothic look you see in this film.
I rarely ever get scared by a movie, but Event Horizon creeped me out the first time watching it. That video of the original crew mutilating each other was quite graphic.
You just watched "The Matrix: Minus One." This was the birth of Morpheus. Where he went, he was teleported back to reality. This was why when people went to this other "dimension", they couldn't handle the reality and that's why they went mad.
"Sunshine" is kinda similar to this one in terms of vibe, but not as gory. Recommend it, especially if you like Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michelle Yeo (from Everything Everywhere All at Once) or Rose Byrn (from X-Men First Class and others)
28:32 Funny she mentioned Mortal Kombat music. The director literally did the Mortal Kombat movie just before this one.
this is one of my favs. has been since it came out. glad you enjoyed it. thnx V
14:48 The way some people react to this scene when DJ has the scalpel to Smith’s neck, saying that he took it too far, but then don’t seem to have any problem with Smith attempting to physically assault Weir twice. I personally, don’t think DJ took it too far given Smith’s behavior, but that’s just me.
Smitty had every right to be pissed off at Weir’s irresponsibility. He was the only one thinking clearly about the danger that ship posed from the start.
Wanting to throw some fists in the heat of the moment is much different than holding a scalpel to someone’s carotid artery. That scene with DJ never sat right, unless the ship was affecting him at that moment.
@@keefriff99 See, I don’t think that, as you put it, wanting to throw fists in the heat of the moment is that different in this situation. Wanting to physically assault someone over just their irresponsibility, to me, is no different than what DJ did, just less extreme.
Yes, Smith had every right to be pissed off at Weir, they all did, but that alone does not excuse you from trying to physically assault them. Had Weir tried to attack someone else, or Smith, I’d agree with you about Smith attacking him, but Weir did not do that.
And no, at that point, I don’t think that any of them were thinking as rationally as they should have been, because of the effects that the ship was having on each individual person, even Smith.
In the beginning I literally thought you went into this movie not even knowing it was a horror movie 🤣
I remember it being on TV on the 90s and 2000s (I was a teenager), very late at night, and watched it several times or so. I could say that this is the almost the most gore I could take and still can take 😂 In one reaction/review the presenter actually said that gore here, despite beeing horrific, is quite cleverly dosed. The scenes don't really revel in gore, they show it for a short time, and then let go, leaving the rest to imagination. I'd say it made the movie at least "watchable" 🙃

There was a lot of impaling in this room, but it all got cut, or can be seen in just one frame
I'll never forget this movie. I was in 8th grade and my dad and I watched it on our 32" tv. I had to go pee like 3 times during the movie and I also had my very first hamstring cramp during it.
I got a couple of buddies to come with me to this movie in the theatre as part of my 16th birthday celebration. We caught this as a matinee, got some pizza, chilled for a bit, and went to see a movie I can’t even remember.
I saw this in theaters when it originally came out. I still had 3/4 of my soda left when it was over, I couldn't look away! I wish they had released the original cut though. That was over 30 minutes longer and it was all Hell dimension stuff. Like test audiences were physically sick after watching it. The only film reels were lost for decades and by the time they found them, it was beyond salvaging. There is supposed to be a single VHS copy somewhere, but nobody has found it yet.
This film, like a number of others, lost a lot of run time in the editing, reshoot and studio interference phases.
One telling detail is that at the time this film was made all kinds of rumours went around ( yes, I'm old and recall the time there were magazines and fanzines discussing movies, often with the people who actually made them ), that those log tapes of the Event Horizon's first crew have a number of recognisable British 'adult film' performers in them.
The sex and horror elements that were shot went much further than what remains in the film: there are snippets and a trailer that show glimpses of what was, but the held materials was allowed to rot in a salt mine decades ago. .
