Get the physical copies before they discontinue them
Definitely worth it to get physical copies when they include the digital code. Just check to see when that was released theres a short window to redeem the code. Also if you lose internet atleast you still have a form of entertainment to pass the time.

Paul W. S. Anderson’s Breakout Masterpiece
Paul W. S. Anderson was offered to direct X-MEN, but he declined that offer in order to do “Event Horizon”- lucky for us! For me,the film was a groundbreaking confluence of space science, physics, science fiction, horror, and spirituality/religion- “good versus evil”.The film was originally 130 minutes in length, but the studio forced Anderson to cut it down to 96 minutes- something Anderson regrets to this day. The studio and Test audience runs of the 130 minute version proved too unnerving and disturbing as this version was much more graphic than the released version.The film has developed somewhat of a cult status amongst its fans. Meanwhile, Anderson had promised to release a “Director’s Cut” to include the 34 minutes worth of footage the studios forced him to cut; however, that footage was lost and only remains in lower quality video tape. Hence, no Director’s Cut will ever be likely.Despite the lost footage and Anderson having his Post-Production time cut from 6 to 4 weeks, the released version is very, very good. The movie is TRULY CREEPY; especially because of the story: It is seemingly quite plausible and,thus all the more frightening. I first experienced this film on DVD up-scaled at 1080i at home on my 46″ home theater system, alone, in the dark, and very late at night. This movie continuously and reliably sent chills up and down my spine- thanks Anderson! If a Director’s Cut had ever been released I can only imagine how delightfully unnerving and disturbing it would have been!I just watched it on Blu-Ray…Awesome… Despite its 1997 release, on Blu-Ray the improved detail, color, and sound improvements make it look so good that it seems it could have been made recently! It’s hard to believe the “Daylight Station” scene in the beginning of the film consumed a full 1/3 of the entire budget. However, it was that footage that grabbed my attention from the start and never let go.Event Horizon remains an excruciatingly unnerving, despairing, and frightening Masterpiece- LOVE IT!

10/10 quality
One of my favorite movies! The rescan quality is no joke. I got this specifically because they scanned the original film for a better quality.I don’t have a 4k player so I can’t use that disc. I was concerned the Blu ray wouldn’t be the higher quality. But it is! The Paramount intro screen is in the original low res. Some of the special effects are, too. It’s a little jarring against the actors and environment but is really a testament to how good the scan went. The actors and scenery look like a modern day reshoot due to the high resolution.Excellent way to get an old classic with modern quality. Even if you have a potato blu ray player from a thrift store like mine!One day I’ll get a 4k player so I can enjoy it in full glory.

Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse. 94%
Before I go off reviewing this cult classic, I’ll share my personal history with this movie, which dates back nearly eleven years ago.I remember finishing up the forth grade back in June of 1998 and my brother rented Event Horizon from the local video store at the time and I watched it with him. When it was over, I was scared s***less the whole summer break. Oddly enough, I kept watching the movie throughout the summer, despite the fact that it was the most terrifying movie I’ve ever seen (and remains so to this day). I remember everyday from that summer, constantly fearing that a deranged Dr. Weir would break into my room and ritualistically end my existence. Even worse, I vividly remember my brother reenacting the infamous “video transmission” scene by holding golf balls covered in fake blood (to look like eyeballs) and covered himself with fake blood as he was saying “Liberate tutame ex inferis.” Summer break eventually ended and with school starting up, I was finally able to dispose any memories I had of the movie. Sam Neill advertised for MCI at the time and even though I knew it wasn’t really Dr. Weir, I still freaked out at the sight of those commercials. I would stay away from this movie for about seven years. In March of 2005, me and my friends held a “movie night” at my best friend’s place over the weekend and I quickly saw Event Horizon on the video store shelf and I told my friends “You want to see a really messed up movie? Watch this.” We rented Event Horizon and all of the deliciously evil and terrifying memories flooded back to my head that night; I couldn’t sleep for days.PLOT:For those of you new to Event Horizon, here’s the lowdown. In the year 2040, a space ship called the Event Horizon was launched to reach Proxima Centauri (Earth’s nearest star) by using an artificial dimensional gateway to create a black hole, bridging the two points in space to drastically reduce journey time. When the ship goes about on its mission, it disappears without a trace. It’s currently 2047 and the Event Horizon has returned off the orbit of Neptune. The Lewis and Clark rescue shuttle is dispatched to investigate and salvage the ship. As the Lewis and Clark docks with the Event Horizon and the rescue crew probes the ship, things start to go awry.SETTING:To me, this is the perfectly executed sci-fi/horror hybrid movie. Why? Event Horizon has many things going for it, but one of the best aspects is the perfect setting. Think about it; not only does the Event Horizon have a creepy gothic interior, the ship itself is surrounded by stormy conditions in space, you’re stranded because your boarding ship was heavily damaged, the Event Horizon’s communication functions are shot (not able to contact for help), and the only transmission you have of the ship’s original crew truly sounds like screams out of hell. If you were aboard the Event Horizon, wouldn’t you be scared? I sure would!!CHARACTERS:The actors do an excellent job with their roles; particularly Lawrence Fishburne as Captain Miller, Sam Neill as Dr. Weir, Kathleen Quinlan as Lt. Peters, and Jason Isaacs as D.J. To me, Dr. Weir is one of the best and most evil villains I’ve ever seen in film; so much so, I had to namedrop him on my review of Morbid Angel’s “Altars of Madness” to describe how evil that album is. Dr. Weir isn’t some one-dimensional character that’s evil and nothing else; he was originally a man of scientific ambition with his Event Horizon project but his work would cause his wife, Claire, to commit suicide from loneliness. This would haunt Weir and when he boards his long lost creation, it would mentally torment him with his sins and drive him into a state of evil madness. Even prior to Weir’s transformation as the antagonist, you can tell there was something messed up about him when he’s aboard the Lewis and Clark, playing an intercepted transmission from the Event Horizon with a straight face, despite it sounding so hellish. Lt. Peters and Captain Miller also have interesting back stories involving Peters having to abandon her crippled son and Miller having to abandon one of his crew members on a burning space ship several years prior. Along with Weir’s sins, the Event Horizon would use the sins of Miller and Peters to torment them. Rescue tech Cooper (Richard T. Jones) does a good job at providing a little humor in the movie to keep the audience from spiraling into states of madness; I particularly like him telling X.O. Starck as he was giving crew members coffee “Want something hot and black inside you?”SCARE TACTICS AND OTHER NASTY STUFF:Unlike most horror movies that use cliché settings and scare tactics to unnerve the audience, this uses much more original ideas to scare movie fans. In Event Horizon, there’s no boogeyman, no hideous aliens, and not even any physical life forms on it!! The thing that makes this movie so scary is that it perfectly utilizes the whole “fear of the unknown” concept as no one investigating the ship knows what they’re dealing with. Paul Anderson’s interpretation of hell is also more original, making it more unnerving. The cliché fire and brimstone imagery has been replaced with the ship’s gravity drive deck filled with some of the most horrendous looking corpses ever put on film. This brings me to my next point. There’s lots of gore in this movie, but unlike mediocre flicks like Hostel and The Hills Have Eyes, the gore in this movie is used to enhance the dark, unnerving atmosphere of the movie rather than relying solely on it. In other words, the violence in this movie won’t bore you. The violence in this movie REALLY is disturbing; the scene where Starck and Peters unscramble the video in the ship’s computer showing the original crew killing and eating each other still freaks me out to this day. The scene where Dr. Weir attacks D.J. on the medical deck is really appalling as you can see Dr. Weir’s bloody, empty eye sockets and the way he kills D.J. is guaranteed to freak out movie goers. As Weir and Miller duke it out toward the end, Weir forces Miller to see Hell and trust me, it really is terrifying.THEMES AND ESOTERIC THINGS:Religion is a big theme in Event Horizon, as you can already tell with the constant mention of Hell and the use of Latin in some scenes. The concept of creating artifical black holes to reduce time in space travel is really neat; I just hope I’m dead before technology advances that far!! Something that I really enjoyed was when D.J.’s carcass is shown in the medical deck, there’s lots of esoteric occult symbols painted everywhere. I’m really glad that Anderson didn’t use something typical like the pentagram and inverted cross to represent Hell, and the mysterious nature of these creepy symbols adds to the terror in this movie. These symbols would also appear on Dr. Weir’s body when he comes back as some sort of undead creature towards the end of the movie. Everything in Event Horizon isn’t tied up in a neat little bow, there’s several little things that aren’t fully explained. I normally don’t like it when movies do this as it usually comes off as laziness, but it works for Event Horizon because they do it in a manner that satisfies the viewer at the end of the movie but makes them wonder about other things. For one, you never really see the “chaos dimension,” only images of people getting horribly killed aboard the Event Horizon. So that leaves your imagination to decide what this dimension really looks like.SOUNDTRACK:For the most part, the soundtrack is magnificent; it perfectly fuses hard techno beats with chilling classical orchestra melodies. The weird combination perfectly suits the movie. The only music track I hated was the one at the very end by The Prodigies called “Funky S***,” it sounds bad and fits nowhere in the movie, even though it was only on the credits.EXTRAS:The current edition of Event Horizon has a second disk full of bonus features. While these features aren’t as abundant as say those in the T2: Extreme Edition DVD set, they are worthwhile. There’s featurettes about the making of Event Horizon along with videos of concept art. While I liked the conceptual drawings and 3D renderings provided in the DVD set, they could have added more and I would have preferred that each image was presented as a still frame rather than a video montage with commentary because with DVD programs like Cyberlink Power DVD that include “snapshot” features, I like to make “snapshots” of these art pieces so that I can quickly get ideas when I hit the drawing boards for my own creations. Still, I enjoyed what I got in this area. The “making of” featurettes are a real treat, they show the numerous difficulties filming the movie and the neat props and filming techniques used to make this film possible. After watching these, I wasn’t too pleased at Paramount for terribly rushing Paul Anderson and his crew to finish Event Horizon at a certain deadline. These corporate slimeballs would also force Anderson to cut out about 40 minutes of the original edition of the movie because test audiences were too freaked out by the level of violence in it. Some scenes were put on the bonus disk, and while pretty satisfying to see, it’s a shame that they couldn’t be restored into the film itself. However, given that Event Horizon came out before the DVD revolution and that Paramount wasn’t too pleased by the film’s poor performance in the box office, the uncut editions of the movie have been lost. Infact, Anderson stated he had to go all over the world to find the lost footage included on the DVD. In short, I can’t blame Anderson for this shortcoming as the blame really belongs to Paramount for their unrealistic time demands and the wimpy test audiences for their squeamishness. All in all, the bonus disk is a nice addition to the movie.CRITICISM:The only bad thing I can say about Event Horizon was the song played at the end credits, which I already stated under “soundtracks.” This is only noticeable flaw that I could find in this movie, but it doesn’t really detract the quality of the film as a whole. Apparently, a lot of people panned this movie for being too violent and scary. That’s mind-bogglingly stupid; panning an R-rated sci-fi/horror movie for being scary and violent is like panning The Ren and Stimpy Show or The Simpsons for making people laugh. For the people who didn’t like the movie for these aspects, what were you expecting this to be? A family film about Shaqulle O’ Neal in space rapping and playing basketball with aliens? Do your homework next time, there’s ratings and content descriptions on the movie posters and DVD cases, READ THEM!!FINAL WORD:In Paul Anderson’s filmography, Event Horizon is easily his crowning jewel. It’s really sad that he’d sink to such low levels in making such junk like Alien vs Predator and Resident Evil. Event Horizon isn’t a movie for everyone, but if you want a movie that will give you nightmares and weird things to discuss with fellow cinema buffs, Event Horizon will reward you greatly.

Enjoyable space horror that’s less sci-fi and more scare-fi.
Less of a sci-fi horror and more of a horror set in space, this 1997 gem featuring Sam Neil, Lawrence Fishburne and Jason Isaacs is one of the few Paul W.S Anderson movies not to feature Milla Jovovich and not be based on a video game franchise. Perhaps best known for the deleted “blood orgy” scene, this movie draws comparisons with “Galaxy of Terror (1981)” and even shares similarities with “The Coverfield Paradox (2018). In the end, it is neither, but it is absolutely an entertaining watch that occasionally gives the squeamish a reason to leave the room.Great performances from Neil and Fishburne, this troubled movie did not do well in theatres but has gathered a cult following and earned its place on the shelves of any fan who enjoys space horror, or what other Anderson movies could be.

Excellent quality. I loved the 4k transfer and the special features.
Erstwhile reviewer –
Very good, a classic I hadn’t heard of
Short story long, I was returning a Call of Cthulhu product via my local Staples, and the guy behind the counter joked about needing to make a sanity roll. Then he got to saying he liked CofC’s handling of madness, but also liked some other system he had used running a game that involved the stern of the Event Horizon. Had I seen the movie Event Horizon, starting Lawrence Fishburne and whoever else? Well it’s great. A little gory. Gory like Alien, I ask, or like the (horrible) Saw movies? More like Alien (bloodier, but less scary). Anyway I used my refund to buy the movie Event Horizon, got it yesterday, and watched it this evening. It was really very good: good pacing, acting (mostly; one dud moment), effects, plot, cinematography, music, everything. But despite a lifetime around sci fi and other geeks I’d never heard of it. I came here to write a review, thinking this was a great unknown movie, and I see it’s a cult classic. So, unless you can’t stand cuts or people with their eyes removed, or hate suspense, or will have an aneurysm if you hear one more person explain ftl travel by pushing a pencil through a folded piece of paper, get this movie and watch it. Wait, no, there is a very short scene of a shirtless woman committing suicide by slitting her wrist in a bathtub. That’s upsetting to see. But it’s such a short scene you can easily glance away (the nudity is momentary; the suicide is 5 seconds or so). Despite that though it’s an outstandingly good space movie, definitely one I’ll be viewing again, and one that I’d show friends.

90’s style Horror Sci-Fi with a few bigger actors from the time.
Somewhat comparable to the action, sci-fi, and shock factor of Aliens (though Aliens is more the Masterpiece). This is just pretty good!! Very Horror-esque though for those who are not comfortable with that. Plenty of mysterious sci-fi elements that may or may not ever happen in your or my lifetime. Good acting! Intriguing plot and reason for why they are “out there”. I always love an occasional rewatch of this from time to time.
