I saw Event Horizon once a long time ago and thought it was pretty blah....honestly i did fall asleep and didnt see all of it.

My girlfriend cites it as a movie she actually likes in sci fi (which is odd to me because she hates most sci-fi and prefers straight action)

Should I vide this again with open eyes?

Is this movie actually good or this another TRICK. I like Sam Neil (should have been a Bond fuck haters) and Fishburne is always cool

From the commercials, this movie looked like it might have potential. Then I went to see it. Wow. Try using a plot formula that has been done about five hundred times already in B horror movies. Put it in space, because the kids are really starting to like science fiction. Get some decent actors who need work to pay the bills. Use really unique horror devices, like phantom kids running around on a space ship, (Is the lead female character so blatantly stupid that she can't remember she's on a spaceship and she didn't bring along the kids?), Sam Neil in one scene holding his eyeballs in his hands and in a later scene they're back in his head.(Must have a really spiffy demon surgeon onboard.) This movie, to put it bluntly, just stunk, should never have been made and I should have been paid to watch this crap.

sounds like you went into the movie for all the wrong reasons

This movie was not scary. In the first 45 minutes it had great suspense and something resembling a plot. A lost love, strange and cryptic dreams, and mysterious ship lost in deep space. Then it seems like the director decided to go for the gore.

The plot itself is suspended until almost everyone dead near the end of the show. Then an actual plot is added back in with the traditional captain who sacrifices themselves for the crew, with a few members of the crew get away and at least two ways to make a part two to the movie. Admittedly the brief vivisection scene towards the end was unique, but I would rather have a better thought out plot.

I figure someone like the Sci-Fi channel might pick this up and make some sort of part two, but I'm not holding my breath.

Best Sam Neill horror movie is "In The Mouth of Madness."

I like the fact that's it's pretty outrageously cheesy and it was entertaining as hell when I was younger (too young to objectively view a movie this way).  Just have fun with it.
