Event Horizon

Yeah, "The Thing" is a good movie. The original 1950's movie hardly showed the alien, and it was like a vegetable based creature that needed to subsist on blood. Okay plotline, but I like the isolation-paranoia/distrust-anger type atmosphere Carpenter created in his remake. No campiness, no one-liners, just a straight forward horror film that is now a classic. :)

Absolutly agree with you guys.....the Thing is a modern clasic , and for me one of the best works of J. Carpenter. And I love the OST of Ennio Morricone (this is the only movie where Carpenter do'nt do the OST)

Anyways, whatever...To sort it out, what happened at the end was, the ship was heading back, or getting pulled back towards the "hell" dimension, The captain (Laurence Fishburn) Blew up a section of the ship, trapping himself and the doctor guy (Neill) on the side bound for that dimension, leaving TWO survivors on the other side to escape. It was a girl, and a guy who had been unconscious for most of the film after an almost possession-like incident had him open an airlock without a spacesuit.
The female wakes up, and sees the evil doctor guy with his face all fucked up,but it's only a dream, a rescue team retreives the two people when she ACTUALLY wakes up.


Oh, and I'd consider it a "horror themed psychological thriller", if anything, I guess...

You are correct up to the survivors. There were THREE at the end... The Female (Peters), The Injured Team member (Justin aka, baby bear) and the black team member (Cooper).

This movie is crazy - I love it! It looked to me like another boring sci-fi movie but the shit gets sick up in it. I was surprised.

Film makers make films. It is the critics -- and in this case, cinephiles -- who worry about genre

Quite correct - perhaps if one can't summon up the energy and/or talent to actually make a film, then obsessively organising and labelling everyone else's is the next best thing.

i just watched this movie and i must say, i loved it but it leaves alittle too much to the imagination. when the movie ended, i was think damn i want to see more!

i wanted to see the other side of hell. this movie will make you think long and hard for awhile! made me sign up on a horror forum.

i remember watching a jack van impe show and he gives his opinion on where hell is. he says that it may be in a black hole that has engulfed billions and trillions of stars thus creating astronomical heat.

fuck i wanted to see more of this movie! there needs to be a sequel, i dont care if that shit goes straight to video i just want to see more of this same story line and plot. i havent watched the deleted scenes and i believe its got an alternate ending. i havent touched the bonus feature.

i consider myself a horror buff and this movie blows away any slasher, zombie, monster flick that ive seen in a long time!

You just reminded me that I lent that movie to someone and never got it back. :( Great movie, I liked how they left a lot up to your imagination.


welcome to the forum :)

(also modern horror section for threads about horror movies made in the 70's and up.)

If you show it then some people are gonna think it's good, some are gonna think it's stupid and some are just gonna look at it and say..''meh whatever''. If you leave it to the imagination then everybody can individually come up with thier own and it'll be the worst possible thing he or she can imagine which can effect everybody to the same degree.


anyway...welcome to hdc.

The best books are written that way too.

That parting's definitely unbalanced.
