Review of Event Horizon (1997) by Lewis H — 05 Jan 2019
I liked Event Horizon- at least visually but it suffers from the same problems that plague many average films of this sort- a bland screenplay. Event Horizon takes us to the year 2047 and onto the deep space rescue craft Lewis & Clark as it departs from Earth orbit on a two-month journey to Neptune.
The primary mission of the Lewis & Clark is to go into a low orbit around Neptune and make contact with the deep space research vessel Event Horizon, which was initially thought destroyed seven years ago.
The would-be rescuers are to search for survivors and salvage anything that's reclaimable, but no one is prepared for the horror that lurks deep within the dark corridors of the dead ship. The crew of the Event Horizon may have had their innards splattered over the bulkheads, but something aboard the ship is very much alive.
Event Horizon isn't particularly effective as a horror, adventure, or science fiction film but the atmosphere and set design are good. That is all I can say about it.(Middling sci-fi).
