I actually liked Event Horizon. I have a soft spot for good space horror.

I can not bash this movie, it's in my top 10.
Can't even think up one wrong move with this flick:)

I fucking hated it - but haven't seen it since it came out. I just dropped it into the top of my Netflix queue to see if I got it wrong, but I found it nonsensical, not at all scary and boring as shit.

A plenty good set-up that falls into really stupid behavior and wretched acting.

I really love EH...I thought the premise and story were excellent and Sam Neill with Fishburne really delivered. It was pacy, had taut and creepy atmosphere throughout...and there was this lingering feeling that something really bad was gonna happen any minute...an "Alien"-esque feeling which I didnt have for a long, long time. Maybe the climax wasnt upto the movie's standards, but the story was solid, and the movie excelled.

Doc summed it nicely. Rod still hates it with a passion. Alky is sorta in the middle. Guess we will leave this one for awhile. (Maybe pick it up later)

This thread is getting more and more interesting...and thats good.

Many of you love it, but many of you bash it for some reason. So haters, why is there no love for

House of 1000 Corpses?


Bring on the bashing, folks!:cool:

Exactly my thoughts too, bro.

But many out there dont give it more than a 5 out of 10.

Any other reason for the movie failing to deliver where The Devil's Rejects, its sequel, scored?

Rejects was more grounded in reality.....that shit could and does happen....much more frightening IMO.

I am one of those that loves The Devil's Rejects, and doesn't care for House of 1000 Corpses.
I felt House of 1000 Corpses was generic, the characters were more annoying than frightening (particularly Baby), or they just weren't terribly memorable, and the end just killed it for me. Overall, it was just.....forgettable. So it was very disappointing.
The Devil's Rejects was actually surprisingly well-written, darkly funny at times while also being a brutal film. In my opinion it just had smarts that the first film lacked.

House of 1000 corpses was just horribly average.

Corpses was not so good, IMO. Although Zombie definitely grew as a filmmaker between films. Rejects was much better.
