Event Horizon

A Haunted House in space?

See Event Horizon and it will definitely give you the chills. However, the cast are the main stars of the movie, from Sam Neil (like you’ve never seen him before!) as the ubiquitous Dr. Weir to Laurence Fishburne as the Captain everyone could depend on, Miller. Sprinkle with the dependable Jason Isaacs and the beautiful Joely Richardson, plus a rather subdued Kathleen Quinlan and here comes Sci-Fi/horror at its best.

That said, the ship and its “occupants” play a huge role in setting the mood. The special effects are top drawer, and the soundtrack also plays its part in creating an atmosphere of impending doom.

Event Horizon seems to have two camps. You either love it or hate it. If you want to be stimulated, have an open mind, and are prepared to be both scared and disturbed, this one’s for you; NOT for the kiddies!

Otherwise just harp on how it’s a rip off of Solaris, 2010 etc.

I wasn't even aware Patrick Stewart was in the movie, until I verified with IMDB. Nevertheless, a flawed classic at best. The soundtrack makes it a stand out.

[NCC-1701]

Escape from L.A.

[JRios1968]

Best of all 6

[SeaDragon]

Ah yes, one of my favorite scenes.

[BronzePencil]

East of Eden

[brityank]

Executive Action (1973)

[Hyzenthlay]

Definitely... it makes pretty much every ‘Top whatever’ list compiled, ever.

[P.O.E.]

Ed Wood with Johnny Depp.

Martin Landau deserved his Oscar.

[vimto]

Can we move on to ‘F’...?

‘F’ for Fake...I can’t wait.....

[Cecily]

Empire of the Sun (starring the 13-year old Christian Bale)

Extremities - Farrah Fawcett shows she really can act

Eat Drink Man Woman

[Jakarta ex-pat]

Empire of the Sun (starring the 13-year old Christian Bale)

Great soundtrack

Thought the movie to be a little long winded.

[Calvin Locke]

I probably fall into the "hate it" camp, but I really wouldn't know.

I've never been able to make it even half way through it.

[Oztrich Boy]

El Cid

Agree, But you should have posted it under "C" :^)

[VRWCmember]

How could I possibley forget "Evil Roy Slade" -- funniest western comedy ever.

Also "The Enforcer".

[VRWCmember]

Pre-emptive post for the Movies beginning with “F” thread: If “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is not in your top ten, your list has no credibility at all.

[VRWCmember]

Are you going to post a movies beginning with “F” thread?

"Educating Rita"

One of my favorite movies - never liked Michael Caine before this one.

[olivia3boys]

The Exorcist.

[Fiji Hill]

Experiment In Terror—with Glenn Ford, Lee Remick, and Stephanie Powers (1962). No, despite what the title suggests, it’s not a movie about an attempt to bring Senator Bob La Follette (R-Wisc.) back to life.
