PRELUDE: For the record, it seems there is no trace of anything anywhere pertaining to a "film review #14"-- hence, one has not been written. The blog is void of any such notes, and I've had a damn-long week, so if you want a #14, post the assignment and THEN I will write it. Until such a time, 15 will be the extent of my trial.
Ok. Anyway.
Event Horizon is a crazy late '90s Sci-Fi horror flick about a spaceship that travels to another dimension whilst attempting to test a new method of travel. Then, a crew goes to rescue/salvage it after it shows up after a couple years... This crew is who the movie follows.
All in all it was very... '90s. The standard tense camera work, overdone foreshadowing, cacophonous plot/character development... Yeah. Nothing special. A somewhat interesting but broken (and hence, dis-interesting) concept as to how everything went to *excuse my French* shit, and why it does so for the rescue crew as well. Basically, everyone just goes bat-shit crazy and starts seeing things; then, they go and murder one another.
Don't see it. A lot of built-up suspense for disengaging anomalies and whatnot. You want something good in this category, go watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. Or, better yet (maybe. I need to watch 2001 again) go play Dead Space. That shit is FUCKED UP.
K, I'm done. Enough swearing. Sleep.
