ADVENT HORIZON MOVIE MOVIE
Inside is a Digital code for the film - finally.Įvent Horizon comes to play with a brand new 2160p UHD 4K transfer with Dolby Vision and HDR enhancements, making this Steelbook the best this movie has looked thus far. The reverse side has the actual ship itself. The clear, plastic slipcase has a smattering of demonic orgy hands that resemble zombie arms for some reason that when placed over the eyeball, look like they are clamoring for Sam Neill.
The backside of the steel book features the same eyeball, but without the actor. The artwork on the steel book itself features a closeup of an eyeball with Sam Neill gouging out his own eyes along with the ship's demonic force. There is a cardboard backing that shows the info of the components of the disc. The two discs are housed inside a fantastic steel book with a clear plastic case. It simply exists to be a well-thought-out horror movie that tried to do something original but was so heavily edited down from its extreme content that this theatrical cut is the only thing horror fans have to relish and bathe in its spooky scent, which by the way, is a fantastic feat for just how scary it really is.įor a glimpse of the previous review of the film, Click Here, and as it says at the end, "They'll defend this movie until their dying day", this cinema aficionado will do the same.Įvent Horizon summons its way to 4K + Blu-ray + Digital Copy via Paramount. Still, Event Horizon never feels cheesy, nor desperate to scare. The only explanation for this was that the early 1990s demanded every movie have some sort of techno, hard rock beat to it. Michael Kamen provided an excellent and haunting score that was somehow mixed with the EDM duo Orbital, which makes for a strange concoction of atmosphere during the scary sequences. Still, there are buckets of blood, gore, and jump scares to satisfy even the most veteran of horror fans here, and with its clever story-telling, Event Horizon succeeds in the long run and even left everything open-ended for a sequel. Jones, Kathleen Quinlan, Jack Noseworthy, and Joely Richardson - the movie runs at a fast and terrifying pace, although midway through, it is bogged down somewhat by hallucinogenic flashes of terror with each character, until it's revealed exactly where the spaceship has been and what it has brought back.
With that all-star cast led by Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, along with Jason Isaacs, Sean Pertwee, Richard T. Perhaps the movie would have faired better if these elements were restored, but for now, Event Horizon still stands the test of time with its horror and one-of-a-kind story that takes its cues from the likes of Aliens and The Exorcist. The theatrical cut of Event Horizon is about 90 minutes long, but there is a 130-minute cut of the film that includes much more character development, better story arcs, and a longer and more graphic blood orgy sequence. Presently, while still a horror favorite amongst genre fans, people are still clamoring and salivating for that director's cut of the film, similar to Zack Snyder's Justice League. Anderson was never going to allow for that, but the result was a difficult-to-market movie that while being scary-as-hell and a truly haunting story with great performances, failed at the box office until it arrived on home video where it took off for the stars and became an ultra-popular cult-hit. The film was so horrifying that it went through multiple re-cuts, and many test screenings, where audiences deemed it too scary that had studio execs crying for a PG-13 cut of the film. Once the crew arrives, they get much more than what they bargained for turning their lives into a literal living hellscape. A couple of years later, his foray into the horror genre was permanently chiseled into stone with Event Horizon. This film follows a rag-tag group of people on a rescue vessel in space that was tasked with a top-secret mission to investigate and rescue any survivors of the iconic spaceship - the Event Horizon that mysteriously disappeared for seven years, but has now reappeared as if nothing happened. Anderson became the talk of the town after his huge success with his adaptation of Mortal Kombat did wonders both financially and critically. It's AWESOME!Įvent Horizon is one of the scariest films ever made and it still makes a big impact some 25 years later after its theatrical release. This movie is still a banger some 25 years later. It's scary.
