"Event Horizon"

Anyfur seen it? Makes me wonder about 'What alternative ways to Hell are there?'

1)Dig a BIIIIG hole (Hell is somewhere under us, isn't it?)
2)Fly through a black hole
3)Open your own portal

There are so many ways how a living fur can get to hell... feel free to add.

BTW, RTD perfectly matches with the soundtrack from Event Horizon.

Loved Event Horizon, In fact loved every movie Paul Anderson did (Yes even Mortal Kombat;) really can't wait to see his new film Resedent Evil (due out March 15) it looks less like a video game adaptation and more like a throw back to the old George Romero zombie movies:)

While where at it, ya know what one of Peter Jackson's (Lord of The Rings, wich I didn't like, it wasnt bad, I just dont dig the fantisy genre and that movie was too long) first movies was? A wonderfull little gem called Meet The Feebles (Wich I did like;)

And what about Alien I,II,III,IV, The Game, Seven and Bone Collector? I like them.

I can honestly say that Event Horizon was very creepy for me. Of course, it didn't help that I was living on an aircraft carrier at the time I saw it (lotsa' metal rooms and corridors with poor lighting and low rumblings from distant machinery).

As for LoTR, I loved that movie. Sorry to hear that it didn't really do anything for you David. At least you know what to expect for the Two Towers and Return of the King (winters of 2002 & 2003 respectively) and can just wait to rent it. Me? I'll be in line opening night.

I really liked Seven, The Game and Alien I as well for their elements of horror, intrigue and unbridled terror. But give credit where credit is due: the writers did an excellent job!

I got a big ass Event Horizon poster on my bedroom wall. One of Sam Neill's best.

Gonna hate me for this, but what is this Event Horrizon thing anyway?

I guessing that Event Horizon is a movie... er... made by Paul Anderson. And it has lots of metal corridors and stuff

Actually, I've never heard of Event Horizon. Did I fool you?

Anyhow, this Resident Evil movie sounds interesting? And this Event Horizon also sounds interesting, if it's being compared to the Aliens movies

I'm definately gonna see it now... well, soon anyway.

.........

Okay, I just read what I typed, and it makes like no sense to me at all...

From IMDB.com:

"The year is 2047 and a ship named the Event Horizon has re-appeared after disappearing 7 years prior, in experiments for faster than light travel. A rescue hastily speeds to the returned vessel after a transmission was picked up from the ship, garbled, but vaguely resembling a human voice. As the crew reach the ship, and spend longer on it, it appears that someone or something is toying with them, and more, the question is what has the Event Horizon become?

As an answer to the original question,
Wouldn't the easiest way to hell be through yourself? Hell is only as horrible as you make it. The common idea of what hell is was printed into the poeples minds by the spread of cristianity, islam and the jews. But what is hell actually. Hell is what people "want" it to be... Anyone who has read "The tenth insight"? (The sequel to "The celestine prophecy")
Sorry if I got to deep...

Kaaaching! Point for whabang!

Now... back to the movies. I've seen LoTR and I love it. Next. The main question is "WHERE has the ship been.".

*Ashton pulls out a gun.*

"Now, anyfur who haven't seen the movie will go and buy/borrow/steal/whatever to see it NOW! It's too good movie for you to miss."

I would sum it up as Hellraiser in space, basically. I loved it for the blatant rip-off that it was - a good, campy horror movie if I ever saw one. Of course it didn't get Really campy until the end, but still.

Likes his puddin' - JD

You can't compare Hellraiser and Event Horizon. Although I like Hellraiser, I think that Event Horizon is way better.

DavidHopkins · Post by **DavidHopkins** » Tue Feb 19, 2002 3:14 am

I like Hellraiser better but I agree, they are two very dis-simular movies.

Ashton Webster · Post by **Ashton Webster** » Tue Feb 19, 2002 3:42 am

Hmm... and what about the Exorcist, Halloween H20, House on a Haunted Hill and Relic?

Whabang · Post by **Whabang** » Tue Feb 19, 2002 7:24 am

Well... Wouldn't compare those with Event horizon... Sam Neill kick ass on an interplanetary level...

!!!Some SPOILAGE here for those who have not seen Event Horizon, don't look kiddies.!!!

Well I won't argue when it comes to matters of taste, but I do have to point out that the whole hell-thing was heavily Hellraiser influenced.

1) If you look at the doors to the generator room, you'll find the designs on them to resemble the lament configuration (the box), and the generator in itself IS a variant of it. A complex mechanical (and spiky) apparatus that, when operated, opens the doors to hell.

2) Almost everything that our happy cenobite, sorry, round-tripper from hell spouts in the final scenes, is taken from Pinhead's monologues in the first two Hellraiser flicks. "We have such sights to show you," anyone?

3) This striking resemblance/borrowing has not been missed by most of the other reviewers either. Just type Event Horizon and Hellraiser into your Googlebox, and watch the links pile up.'

So that's my case, really.

Has such sights to show you - JD.

--------

Pinhead: "The box. You opened it. We came."
Kirsty: "It's just a puzzle box!"
Pinhead: "Oh no. It is a means to summon us."
Kirsty: "Who are you?"
Pinhead: "Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others."
-Hellraiser, 1987-

Everything that must look unnatural must have some weird spiky ornaments. And it's not stolen ideas that make Event Horizon perfect movie, it's the crew that made it. Have you seen The Sphere? That was a movie that kinda looked like Event Horizon, although it didn't involve the greatest evil. You see, in Event Horizon, the ship crew encouters that which they fear most. In The Sphere, it's the same. Every movie is based in several others.

Psychotikitten · Post by **Psychotikitten** » Tue Feb 19, 2002 9:03 am

Err...Event Horizon pissed me off. I never really got into it...and I loooove Sci-fi. Bleargh. I hated Sphere too...those are what I call "Make-out movies", as in you can make out during them and not be missin' much. Ugh. (No 'fense, Ashton)
I've never seen Hellraiser, but LoTR was really great. Actually, the scene where Bilbo freaked out into Gollum scared me more than any scary movie I've seen in a long time. Heh.

Ashton Webster · Post by **Ashton Webster** » Tue Feb 19, 2002 9:35 am

LoTR was perfect! Just that TEN second scene with Gollum being tortured made me shiver.

BTW, some guy who didn't like Event Horizon wrote this report:
