My rating - 8/10

In 2047 the long lost starship Event Horizon reappears and a group of astronauts are sent into deep space to investigate and salvage the ship. Once they they discover the terrifying secret of where the Event Horizon has been for so long.

A great cast, some stunning effects, a ton of atmosphere and a couple of genuinely good jump scares all add to this excellent slice of sci/fi horror. The gore is also very impressive. and I'm sure we all still want to see the original 130 min version which was said to be so gory and violent that the studio wouldn't release it unless it was heavily cut.

The acting from everyone involved is very good, but the one thing that does bring it down, only very slightly mind is some of the humor, especially towards the end, it just doesn't fit with all the disturbing and scary stuff that's going on. They should have cut that out and left the gore and violence in instead. Add to everything a great soundtrack and this is a film I go back to often.

If you're a sci/fi and/or horror fan and haven't seen this yet then I'd definitely recommend it.
