from the movie's wikipedia page: "Screenwriter Philip Eisner acknowledged that Warhammer 40,000 influenced the story.[10] In the setting of Warhammer 40,000, spaceships travel the galaxy by passing through "the Warp"-a parallel dimension where faster-than-light travel is possible, conceptually similar to "hyperspace" in Star Wars, but which is also inhabited by evil spirits that can infiltrate the ship and possess the crew if said ship is not properly shielded. Fans consider Event Horizon to be an unofficial prequel to Warhammer 40,000, when humankind discovers the Warp and learns of its dangers the hard way." that's pretty cool
dude watching richards face LIGHT UP at 48:52 when monte mentions the upcoming tv adaptation of this made me smile a lot, from how he described watching the VHS as a kid it makes me really feel joy to watch these 3 talk about movies they have personal connections with. really mega episode; absolutely LOVE this series so far :D
Been waiting for this! Loving this content gents. I started watching you all around 2013, seeing you all grow and now branch out from Esports has been amazing. Its always nice to do whatever im doing with you guys chatting in the background!
28:57 My god, these reviews are amazing! Where is that fire and spice in modern mainstream media criticism? No wonder people gravitate towards independent content creators that review media. This is exactly what is wanted but got scrubbed clean, sanitized and replaced with preachy messaging.
When Dr Weir (evil mode activated) is knocking around Captain Miller in the engine room - every time a strike hits Miller it's the WORST sound possible. Miller's back slams against the wall and it makes a PUNCHING SOUND. I could do better with a $20 desktop mic and a thawed ham. It's insane. A lot of the visuals were surprisingly good, but the audio made me and my girlfriend laugh aloud. Also when the vacuum was sucking everyone out of the bridge window, the vacuum was like 10x stronger against Dr Weir. Clearly the vacuum of space prefers eyeless evil people or Captain Miller and Starck are stronger than Satan's host. Even worse when Miller struggles to get to the door, but comforably stands where the air flow would be the most difficult to handle. Absolutely insane. I love watching these along with you guys. Keep it up!
That's a lot of nostalgia for me in this one. 90's were a holy grail of movie watching for me since i was in my early teens and craving for anything scifi, action or scifi-horror related, needless to say guy who run our VHS store was willing to usually overlook my age vs what ratings films had. That lead to me being sleepless and scared shitless during many many nights, Event Horizon being of those reasons. Great times
Them using The Prodigy at the end is like transformers using Linkin Park when fading to black and the opening notes of "What I've done" playing lollll Love it
I struggled to finish this movie, ended up watching it in 1.5x speed and was wondering how you guys would justify putting that on a list of movies "to watch". But once I found out in this episode that it was one of Monte's guilty pleasures, it made me happy I watched it, haha! To be fair, the suffering I endured to watch the movie was fully redeemed because this episode was so funny.
I love this movie. Sam Neil was amazing in Peaky Blinders too. Speaking of a movie that portrays trauma... I think El Camino is one of the worst and I need to rant about it. It's the continuation of Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad. Basically the movie starts at the end of Breaking Bad when he gets rescued from torture and imprisonment by Walt and is driving away. At first you see how he struggles so much with trauma, he's a total wreck and I thought wow this is going to be really cool, it's gonna show how traumatized he is and how will he cope how will he get better and whatever. Well, after maybe 10 minutes of him having mental breakdowns and flashbacks and who knows what else, he takes a shower, shaves his beard and head and now he's all cured. Literally his trauma never comes up ever again (unless my memory is failing me.) Bro... that's insulting to someone with actual trauma.
I laughed so much in this movie bc people were making so many illogical decisions. I was getting The 13th Ghost/Matrix vibes -the whole ship control deck is literally "The Nebuchadnezzar". I found it so funny nobody was corroborating ANY of their stories the moment female doctor is like "I saw my son", all after Weir already saw his wife when he was crawling around in the "motherboard" of the ship... and the one guy that who noticed Justin shaking on the table to come out of his coma, grab him on the face and say "The dark is coming" or whatever... then didnt tell fucking anyone that happened. Total mind fuck of a movie. Was so funny how Weir slowly succumbed to the EVIL of his creation. I totally agree with Richard and Thorin that the first 40 mins did a good job keeping the veil of mystery to the motive of the evil and its origin. Then the last 40 were like "fuck it"
Looking forward to hear what these lads think of From Beyond. I thought it very enjoyable in its "terribleness". Definitely a guilty pleasure type of movie and they for sure did do the thing Duncan suggested for EH of letting Sam Neill's character have motivations as a religious nut case.
You all laughed when Monte pointed out that Event Horizon, Annihilation and From Beyond are all ranked around 6.6 on IMDB, but my question is; what numerical ranking would you give them? Would it be possible for you to each give a number ranking at the end of the episode and would you pick out of 5 stars or out of 10? Or do you guys not believe in that kind of ranking system? Would be very interested to know how you grade some of these.
Esports in such a bad state that after 10+ years of watching I'd rather watch this kinda stuff instead. Maybe if Worlds is on, MSI or a regional finals, but this content beats regular season and most playoffs by a long shot.
How dare Monte disrespect the greatness that is Merlin! Next he'll come out and say the 90s The Adventures of Sinbad isn't a masterpiece of TV, for shame!
I was so excited for this episode, and then I sat down and rewatched this movie after probably at least 15 years. And man lets just say I did not remember it being nearly as goofy and laughable at parts as it was. I remember this movie being so scary and truly shocking horror I used to recommend to people for a good scare. Its kind of a laughable joke. "Where we're going, we dont need eyes." I kinda wish I didnt have them after rewatching this movie. Its memory was fonder.
Did you take the facial reactions from the thumbnail from this episode or did you all specifically emote at some point for the explicit purpose of the thumbnail? I want to see all of Thorin's "react" faces.
38:00 My take away even the first time I watched the movie was that Dr Weir was corupted by the hell force at some point during the creation of the ship and knew what he was making, that he made it to bring his wife back. He hints at knowing what is on the ship before they bord it and shit starts going down. That the rational explanations he gives were just the last shreds of his old persona, but the hell caption was who's controlling his actions all along. * I have no problem writing better backstories in my head for movies that have no good basis in the actual movie to make them more enjoyable.
Amazing stuff again lads! Not so slowly becoming my favourite LFN show and I’ve been here since around 2015. It’s a superb trifecta of talking heads. Keep up the good work. Also Four Play merch please!
This is in my top three farvorite movies, it is exactly the flavor of fiction I enjoy diving into. Related, later in life I became hopelessly engrossed in Warhammer 40k.
I've apparently been watching movies wrong. Another great episode, really enjoyed it all. If i could make a suggestion, please get a quick recap in at the start, the last 2 were really telling about things i'd missed, or things i maybe should have been focused on. cheers
Really enjoying this series! Would be cool at the end to do honorable mentions for more movies to watch in the genre. I know some get mentioned throughout but can't remember them all.
I always felt this story was like a prequal to the story in Doom. Discovering Hell and possibly having someone compelled to open a portal to connect it to our realm.
I've come to think of this as a DnD campaign gone wrong. 😎 realistic supernatural horror? No! The ship design is shit! A titan sub. Welp I'm done with horror, I do want them all to come out alive ...except weir. 😅
This movie is like sitting down at a restaurant, browsing the menu and selecting a delicious dish you've tried elsewhere. And then you get a well done steak, potatoes that taste of flour and no sauce... -But the editing on this series so far has been amazing, keep it up!

that's pretty cool
You can literally headcanon this movie as being part of the 40k universe and it just werks
@@osiris-h3p aye
Love this fan theory so much it makes the movie so much better.
Probably my favorite episode so far. Richard absolutely raking the movie while monte defends his guilty pleasure.
The background artwork for this series is SO GOOD. Atanalas killing it.
Best art yet
dude watching richards face LIGHT UP at 48:52 when monte mentions the upcoming tv adaptation of this made me smile a lot, from how he described watching the VHS as a kid it makes me really feel joy to watch these 3 talk about movies they have personal connections with. really mega episode; absolutely LOVE this series so far :D

I love watching these along with you guys. Keep it up!
The amount of time we spent in slow motion in this movie also had to be 20% of the runtime.
Oh dang Richard actually got to the audio. It's SO FUNNY how bad it is.
Not a Summer release but for 97 the only one I'd add to give love to is Starship Troopers
New culture channel episode always a treat love the dynamic of the show keep up the great content guys!

i love how the clips are put in there, would love to hear a more modern movie like dune before part 2 comes out.
I think the new dune with mentions to the old material as well would be a very very cool episode from them
Them using The Prodigy at the end is like transformers using Linkin Park when fading to black and the opening notes of "What I've done" playing lollll
Love it
Monte, do a review of Gataca. It is an amazing movie.
I struggled to finish this movie, ended up watching it in 1.5x speed and was wondering how you guys would justify putting that on a list of movies "to watch". But once I found out in this episode that it was one of Monte's guilty pleasures, it made me happy I watched it, haha! To be fair, the suffering I endured to watch the movie was fully redeemed because this episode was so funny.
In my head canon- Doom is the sequel to Event Horizon
At @46:33 I thought Richard was going to quote Cooper when he says to Starck "Would you like something hot and black inside you?"
Finally someone said it about the Matrix. Hugo Weaving's monologues were the only highlights of that script for me.
I love this movie. Sam Neil was amazing in Peaky Blinders too.

Event horizon is more or less is what happens if you go into Slanesh realm of the warp without Geller field.
I love this show
How dare Monte disrespect the greatness that is Merlin!
Next he'll come out and say the 90s The Adventures of Sinbad isn't a masterpiece of TV, for shame!
Wait.... is that a "Shopping" callout in the first 10 mins!! As always, love you guys ;)

Amazing series, I'm waiting whole week to watch another one from you guys, cheers! ❤
I remember loving this movie when it was on TV as a kid. Ive never gone back and rewatched it, seems like itll be trashy fun
Amazing stuff again lads! Not so slowly becoming my favourite LFN show and I’ve been here since around 2015. It’s a superb trifecta of talking heads. Keep up the good work. Also Four Play merch please!
Curious on what you guys would think of starship troopers movies , that would be awesome and or tremors movies
One of my favourite cosmic horror movies, looking forward to watching the next one before the episode
All the dialogue Richard pointed out is why I love this movie, it's hilarious
That weird orgy scene is funny now but I remember being pretty scared when I watched it as a kid.
This is in my top three farvorite movies, it is exactly the flavor of fiction I enjoy diving into. Related, later in life I became hopelessly engrossed in Warhammer 40k.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one that thought the twist was going to be Sam Neill brought them there on purpose.
I've apparently been watching movies wrong. Another great episode, really enjoyed it all. If i could make a suggestion, please get a quick recap in at the start, the last 2 were really telling about things i'd missed, or things i maybe should have been focused on.
cheers
Bottom square of RL looks slightly off center
"The script in this film is fucking cheeks."
🤣🤣
Supposedly there is a directors cut on a vhs tape somewhere. Would be nice to see one day
i am confused, why is it called fourplay since you are only 3?
Sam Neil rules. Possession is still his best performance imo.
Please review the movie Pandorum.
Always in for anything Sam Neil.
Did anyone else think those were trolli branded condoms on the table?
loving this content ❤ binging throught these episodes on my night shift
Really enjoying this series thanks guys!
I love this show so much! Thanks for another great episode!
Really enjoying this series! Would be cool at the end to do honorable mentions for more movies to watch in the genre. I know some get mentioned throughout but can't remember them all.
Didn't even catch first 2 times that they are eating Trollis in that outro/intro . Love it!
Editor really nailed the thumbnail on this one
Loving these, keep pumping out good content gents
Directly copying the shining scene is so crazy lol, another great episode
I always felt this story was like a prequal to the story in Doom. Discovering Hell and possibly having someone compelled to open a portal to connect it to our realm.
I had no idea the tv series was happening I'm genuinely excited for it.
some scenes in this movie were classic 90s
comment for the algo gods
AH Culture :D i needed this :D
already an amazing series love Richards insights!
Been waiting for this all week, cheers gents
The whole thing went over my head as a kid watching this
poggerz
cheers

Yes
Can you guys do book reviews? like Animal Farm etc
Richard getting excited for the possibility of an Amazon series. Hilarious mate. Thanks for the episode guys
so, talking about P.W.S. Anderson and his game inspired movies: imagine those but directed by Uwe Boll.
Algo gods
Ty
I've come to think of this as a DnD campaign gone wrong. 😎 realistic supernatural horror? No! The ship design is shit! A titan sub. Welp I'm done with horror, I do want them all to come out alive ...except weir. 😅
Loving this content 💯
Already an amazing series
This episode was so much more entertaining than the movie xD
Richard is at his absolute peak when he's just tearing down something he can't stand
fantastic content as always lads x
I WISH this movie was good! I felt like it was almost an amazing movie so many times
the cooper oxygen tank scene was hilarious, as well as the unnecessary batman punch effect noises at the end
Love the series lads, keep at it Looking forward to the next one
I saw definitive edition and I dont remember those cringe scenes lol
This movie is like sitting down at a restaurant, browsing the menu and selecting a delicious dish you've tried elsewhere. And then you get a well done steak, potatoes that taste of flour and no sauce...
-But the editing on this series so far has been amazing, keep it up!
Does anyone else keep imagining Thorin in the moment we realize he is The Thing?
What are u on about?
@@jakuzzzi Because he looks like the character from the movie.
So much talent in one video.
