I really want to love this movie. There just aren't enough sci-fi horror movies out there. I even watch it every year or so to see if I've magically come to like it. But it never happens. For me, Event Horizon has so much potential, but never attains any of it. The scariest part of the whole movie is the few seconds of audio that they play from when the ship was in the other dimension. It was so raw and intense it gets me every time. But that's it. Nothing else in this movie scares me at all. All the hallucinations are laughable and downright silly. I found that Sam Neill (don't even get me started on how terrible this guy is) at the end was such a rip-off of the doctor in Hellraiser II once he became a cenobite that I just sit there wondering if the makers of Event Horizon thought that nobody had actually seen Hellraiser II.
And yet, even though I hate the film, I still end up watching it again regularly. At least now I can alternate between this and Pandorum which is another that I hated, but will still sadly watch just to get my sci-fi horror fix.
