Do you know any good books that feature expansive material on horror films? Well, I found one from the library. It's called the Aurum Film Encyclopedia: Horror.
Interesting to note is what the editor Phil Hardy had to say about the question above:
Film makers make films. It is the critics -- and in this case, cinephiles -- who worry about genre.
If we must cut and dice Event Horizon in order to put it into clean-cut category (Science Fiction or Horror), consider the "definition".
In terms of the scientific basis (the ship's capability of folding space) from which the horrors are unleashed, this would be science-fiction.
On the other hand, based on theme (Hell), this would be horror.
So...if it has to be one or the other, which is it to be?
Anyone..?
