In the theater, the whole audience erupted in laughter because everyone was thinking the same thing. Rarely does a film know exactly what emotion it will evoke from it's audience so effectively.
It’s fun to imagine Captain Miller in other horror movies: “Danny said there’s a woman in Room 237!” “We’re leaving.” “They’re here!” “We’re leaving.” “Hi, I’m Chucky. Wanna play?” “We’re leaving.”

Fun story. I met Sean Pertwee at London Comic Con in 2010. I took my limited set (case looks like the hull of the Event Horizon) for him to sign. When I handed it to him he looked at it in shock and said "Where the F*CK did you get this?" He explained that he asked for EVERY version of the film from Director Paul Anderson and to that moment he thought he had. When I said I got it in Asda (UK Walmart) with my groceries it didnt make matters better. He texted Paul Anderson mid-meet about the set. First celeb id ever pissed off. Just last week Sean was here in Scotland at a con with Simon Pegg & Sean Gunn. My boy was at the con and went to see Sean Pertwee to sign his Gotham set. My kid brought up the meet in 2010 and no he didnt remember my face but he remembered the meet at the set. They had a laugh about it and how pissed he was and to this day he still doesnt have that version of Event Horizon😂
@@TheGoIsWin21 Having some real trouble here remembering other examples... Miller has got to be the best example of the Competent Protagonist. Wait! Ellen Ripley. But for real, what are some other examples?
When he said that, I said "THANK YOU!" in the theater. 😆 I saw this at least 3x in the theater because it creeped me out and gave me the chills so much, I wanted to show other people. I took two other people, separately, and I think they hated me for it 'cause it freaked them out. They looked traumatized afterward. They were like, "THAT WAS HORRIBLE!" I said, "Horrible because it's bad or horrible because it creeped you out?" They were like, "The latter," and I said "Well, then it did its job well." Another time when I said "Thank you!" was when they played the log back the first time with just the audio and the pilot, Sean Pertwee, said, "What the fucking hell was THAT?!" These are the things that make a good horror movie, when the people involved do and say what they are supposed to do in these crazy situations and it still doesn't matter. Too many times characters are written to be stupid so they can fall into whatever misfortune lies ahead. Running straight into a buzzsaw, figuratively (and sometimes literally).
It blows my fucking mind that you can casually drop "That's just like what I saw when I did Ayahusca" in EVENT FUCKING HORIZON and just leave it at that.
That's exactly what I thought when I saw this movie back in 1997: it's a mix of 2010 (a team is sent to find a lost spaceship), Hellraiser, Stargate and the video game Doom (the portal leading directly to hell). It is a shame that the footage with the gore scenes that were eliminated from the final cut due to pressure from the studio is completely lost.
@@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc Not Stargate. Warhammer 40k. One of the people working on the movie confirmed it. Faster than light travel means having to pass through a hell dimension. Except you would have things much worse than the cenobites doing that sort of thing to the crew.
May not be as underrated as it used to be at this point ... but it still needs to be said , that this is one of the greatest Horror/Gore/SciFi Movies ever made ! Still gives me chills ....
What's crazy is that it was originally intended to be even more graphic than it was. All those quick cut images of the crew being tortured was taken from actual footage they shot but couldn't use in order to keep their R rating.
First time I watched this, I was in the basement of the house of a friend of a friend. No windows, no real ventilation, and we were smoking pot; it was…quite the experience…
I was at a friends house sleeping over with 2 other friends when I first saw it. We all unanimously decided to turn it off and finish it in the morning.
VERY underrated and visually stunning sci-fi horror - The Cell with Jenifer Lopez and an incredible Vincent D'Onofrio. An F.B.I. Agent persuades a social worker, who is adept with a new experimental technology, to enter the mind of a comatose serial killer in order to learn where he has hidden his latest kidnap victim.. An F.B.I. Agent persuades a social worker, who is adept with a new experimental technology, to enter the mind of a comatose serial killer in order to learn where he has hidden his latest kidnap victim. One of the best looking films I have ever seen.
~1997 was right in a sweet spot where VFX was either terrible or amazing. It was a few years after Jurassic Park, so everybody was focused on CGI. But there was still a ton of expertise in great model work and practical effects that hadn't been pushed aside, and studios were still used to budgeting for prop, set, and model construction on pictures. Event Horizon is horrifying, but it perfectly balanced the novel CGI with the traditional, at a time when a toooooon of movies were doing really terrible looking CGI monsters that didn't hold up at all.
The Cell is an interesting premise and the dream sequences look great. The ending is a bit unexpected too. It definitely fits in to that era of late 90s gritty "serial killer with a plan" movies, but having slick CGI of the early 2000s.
Saw this in the theater with a friend when we were teenagers. As we walked out, neither of us said anything to the other for a minute. Finally, my friend decided to break the silence. He said, "that's the kind of movie that gets you right here," and gestured to his stomach.
When me and my friends saw it in the theater (our first R rated movie as we'd all turned 18 lol), one of the other theater patrons about 6 rows behind us had a full on panic attack and cried out "Somebody help me", they turned up the lights and put the movie on pause for a few minutes to deal with the person. The whole thing scared the rest of the theater too lol... imagine if they had been able to stick all the cut footage in, ugh.
Which adds even more constraints and contention, because you simply cannot leave (like a house). I watched this movie in the cinema when it came out. To me it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, because it shows the conflicts within the characters more than any physical confrontation outside.
Both are cosmic horror type movies, which are few and far between sadly. In the Mouth of Madness, The Thing, The Void, Color Out of Space (an HP Lovecraft novel to movie, modernized), From Beyond, The Endless (not super scary, but still a mind F) are others of the same type that I like quite a bit.
"...well using layman's terms, we use a rotating magnetic field to focus a narrow beam of gravitons, these in turn fold space-time consistent with Weyl Tensor dynamics until a space-time curvature becomes infinitely large and you produce a singularity, now a singularity..." I say this to sound intelligent, problem is I quote it randomly and people think I'm insane...😂🤣 ...which I am. 🤗❤ Love this movie, one of my absolute favourite sci-fi's. Morpheus, dude from Jurassic Park, awesome!! 🥳 Cheers for the video!! 🙏
After watching this movie in college, I was dropped off but I made my buddies wait in the car while I turned on all the lights in our house. I will not be watching this reaction with you :)
One of the most underrated Sci Fi Horror Thriller Films ever made! The original cut of the movie was 130 minutes but the producers cut it down to 97 minutes as the film contained gory bloodier footage that caused the test audience to feel sick to their stomach. There were talks of a director's cut, yet most of the cut footage may be lost or destroyed.
The footage was found, in a salt mine in Transylvania of all places. But because of that environment and improper storage the film was damaged where only a few minutes at best where usable, so it was abandoned. But there is always hope that somewhere out there there is another copy of the footage.
@@memnarch129 I've seen a lot of people talk about wanting to see the extended version. But I really don't think that's necessary unless you're just really into gore-porn. You get the idea of the horror of the ship perfectly well from what you see in this cut. And as Jen mentions, those quick flashes are pretty effective at leaving an impression.
Sometimes less is more. Stuff cut out of a movie is very often cut for a good reason when gore is involved. At some point it stops being scary and just turns into disgusting and sickening, which is a different genre of movie. :P Like with the cut scenes from "Alien" for example, none really add anything worthwile to the near-perfection of the cinematic cut.
@@memnarch129 How it end up there? And why put the stuff in an environment that ruins the footage? ...Also, were any people mysteriously lost/killed while retrieving lost horror movie footage from a Transylvanian salt mine? :D
Saw this in the theater opening weekend with my mom. We both loved sci-fi movies and the marketing for it didn't say anything about it being a horror film which she hates lol. The way it slowly introduces the horror elements throughout is really well done, to the point that non-horror folks become trapped and so invested even they must see it through to the end. In some ways, the audience becomes trapped much like the characters on the Event Horizon itself.
Back in 1997, I went to see this with friends without having seen the trailer. I thought it would be more of a space exploration movie. I had no idea what I was in for. lol
It’s been a rough two weeks but I still wanted to stop by for a second to show a little support. Great idea to put this out during spooky season Jen and I see that your security blanket has been working overtime this month as well 😂.
a cool story I heard when I was in film school about this movie. Apparently they fired a SFX guy but told him he could finish the day or something. so he hid a baby doll in the frozen body and was long gone by the time they went to shoot it. so when they drop it and it breaks apart there is a baby doll that you can actually see in the final film if you go frame by frame.
Your again awesome thumbnail sums this up Jen holy moly this is going to be jumpscaretastic 😱 love how Jen calls Lawrence fishburne Morpheus whenever she sees him 😀🔥💙🔥💙
I remember when I saw this movie in theaters... I was so creeped out... I walked out into the sunlight and stood there for 5 minutes before going home. I haven't seen the movie since. This was the closest I've come to rewatching this movie, Jen.
The "science mumbojumbo" scene actually makes sense. Gravitons are a hypothetical "gravity particle" the same way light exists in the form of photons. The Weyl Tensor is a measure of the curvature of spacetime, which we know is bent by gravity as in black holes. A singularity, specifically a gravitational singularity, is the center of a black hole, an infinitely dense point where its mass is contained. The whole explanation means "we discovered gravitons do exist and we generate and concentrate them with magnets according to the known mathematical laws of bending spacetime, until we create a black hole" Since Weir later says the core contains a black hole, it must mean they harness black hole creation to manipulate gravity until the space time around the ship is distorted until a wormhole portal is created.
Don't know if this was said already but the hell dimension footage was actually heavily censored for the movie release. Unless i am mistaken, I'm pretty sure the full version of those shots was never released to the public and is just sitting on some vault somewhere. Event Horizon is one of the coolest premises for a horror movie i have seen and the visual design of the movie is excellent. The empty eye socket CGI always looked bad though. The movie is also notable for being the main inspiration for the Dead Space game series which really nails this aesthetic. They're the scariest games i played through, though the constant shtick of LOUD NOISES!!!! gets old after a while. Speaking of games: this director did quite a lot of game to movie adaptations, all of them pure unadulterated trash save for the first Mortal Kombat movie.
The footage was, for some bizarre reason, stored in a salt mine somewhere in Europe and deteriorated so all the extra filmed scenes can't be recovered.
Original Mortal Kombat is actually a pretty decent movie. It's camp for sure, and visibly low-budget, but it's also fun and entertaining, and manages to wring a decent enough story out of the paper thin lore of the arcade game. :)
"Fold. The. Paper!" I'm not positive but i think this might be the movie that popularized the whole "fold a paper in half to explain wormholes" thing. I'm sure its come up other places, but I think this was the first demonstration for a mainstream audience. This is probably one of my favorite all time horror films. The gore is used sparingly and effectively, without being overloaded on the viewer. Every character behaves rationally, intelligently, and competently (with the obvious exception of Weir), doing their absolute best to survive while demonstrating that they are exceptional professionals who are very good at their jobs. It just doesn't matter, because reality is falling apart around them 😂. Captain Miller just saying "fuck this, fuck your ship, fuck this mission, we're leaving" is probably the most relatable thing I've ever seen a character do in a horror movie. 10/10 in my book. And a fun factoid: many people consider this an unofficial Warhammer 40k movie. If you know the lore of the universe, this movie is a FANTASTIC representation of how The Warp works there. 😂
All the way back in 1963, the book "A Wrinkle In Time" included a version of this using a piece of string instead of paper. There might have been a Heinlein novel that preceeded this, but I'm not certain.
The funny thing about the guy using his air tank to get back is in horror movies a lot of times a character will have a death scene that wouldn't necessarily kill them but its just easier to write them giving up in a situation. I like that this movie shows that characters will instead try everything to survive even if it seems unlikely.
It's strange to me how this movie, that in 1997 was premiered without grief neither glory in the theaters (in numbers: a gross of 20 million dollars against a budget of 60 million dollars; not a big deal), have gained so much fame over the years. I'm happy by it because I love this movie since the day I watched in cinema on September 27, 1998 (in Spain it was premiered one year later than in USA). It's a good definition of space horror. Great reaction Jen.
In the Words of Tony Stark: "OH it's Good to be Back!"😅Thank You very much for this one today, Jen💝the only thing I Enjoyed (maybe) more than this Reaction was that I got to BE HERE throughout this entire Premiere!👍I'm not the best Fan of Horror Movies either, but I've always been a Fan of this Director's Work🤩Paul W.S. Anderson cleverly combines Sci-Fi into Horror with many of His Movies!👌 Recommendation: there's another Movie that's very similar to this one (in many ways) called "Sphere" ('98) and so far as I know😇nobody else has Reacted to that one...not yet! (LOL)
When first I saw this, it stayed with me for a long time. I was savvy enough to know its imspirational origins, which are "2010: The year we make contact" and "Hellraiser". Yet despite this, its savage imagery and bleak message profoundly disturbed me to the point of having nightmares about it for some time after. To this day, it remains one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
If you think this movie was the first to have a premise similar to this, I challenge you to do a reaction to the Disney-made 1979 scifi film "The Black Hole." For a Disney film, that one was really and I mean REALLY dark and creepy. I will only say that 'The Black Hole' also starts with finding a huge and creepy looking spaceship (that gives immensely ominous vibes when you see it) lost in space, in a situation involving both a black hole and the subject of Hell. At more than one point in the film, YOU WILL FOR SURE say out loud something along the lines of "...and DISNEY made this movie??" I guarantee you'll end up saying that about a certain scene toward the end, in particular. I'm already betting money that scene will actually make you wonder how the frick the movie was supposed to have been made for child Disney audiences. There is no nudity or profanity in it, but there is very dark morbidity despite that, however. You'll see what I mean. Even the soundtrack is very dark, powerful and ominous. PLEASE do a reaction to that one, and you won't regret it. But you may have nightmares after you see it. Just sayin.'
The first time I watched this movie was at the 2004 Sci-Fi-London 3 Film Festival. It was an all-nighter consisting of Resident Evil, The Thing, Pitch Black and ending with Event Horizon. A great time (started the festival at 10am Saturday morning with The Dark Crystal, then many movies back-to-back, ending with a double bill of 28 Days Later and The X-Files on Sunday afternoon). 30 hours of no sleep goodness!
I saw this movie just after it was released on home video, I was 18 and a senior in high school and it totally freaked me out. The fact of something making you realize and "see" your worst fear was terrifying. Needless to say I didn't watch it again until I was 30.
I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out. It’s one of only two or three movies that has actually scared me when I saw them. And it’s crazy to think, that we are closer to the year this movie takes place, than we are to the year it was released. 11:00 Is this Jen’s moment of, “This one time, at band camp,” but with ayahuasca.
This movie still manages to scare the sh... out of me😂 The hellish dimension always gave me lovecraft vibes. Worth mentioning is also Michael Kamen's and Orbital's soundtrack which always stood out for me. Jen, thanks for your great reaction to this scifi/horror milestone ❤ I have seen a few other reactions to it as well but yours is by far the best...including the fantastic editing!👍 You have a wonderful day!
I first saw this as a 12-year-old because heck yeah! Sci-fi! Scared the hell out of me and I've never been able to bring myself to even consider watching it again. Watching this reaction was more than enough of a recap
11:35 This is interesting, seeing a lensing effect like that, because similar visual effects can be seen in observatory footage of black holes because it shows the area behind as bent light around them due to their much greater mass and stronger gravitational presence. Also, due to recorded evidence from at least two interferometers on nearly opposite sides of the planet, the existence of gravitational waves has been proven. The ones detected by our interferometers had traveled an incredible distance and so had weakened significantly, so to see an intense gravitational wave propagate from the core of the _Event Horizon_ and cause such damage makes sense.
A lot of gory stuff and drawn out horror was deleted and lost, but one thing we do know is that the "Weirbeast" at the end was supposed to be materialized in the water tank (causing the blood flood) and after Cooper and Starck fall from the ladder, we would see a skinless Weirbeast crawling down (this last shot is shown in the few deleted scenes extras). So when Starck calls Miller and we hear "we gotta get outta here", in the script she'd say "Miller, he's coming for you!" and he would be attacked by the Weirbeast/Burning Man. That's why Starck sees it in her nightmare at the end. In fact, during production one of the lost versions of the ending had the Burning Man the entire time instead of the Weirbeast. And in the original script draft it claimed to NOT be Weir, but something far older that saw the Beginning and will see the End.
Thank you for putting yourself through this on our behalf, Jen. I saw this on its opening weekend and it creeped everyone out in the cinema, especially with its almost subliminally horrific imagery that you couldn't unsee (did you need eyes to see ?) The Shining and Hellraiser blended with 2001... Great reaction and Jenalysis as always. Now please don't have nightmares. We, your Usual Suspects, will be your metaphorical safety blanket...
17:20 "Frig off, Movie!" 🤣🤣🤣 Is it any wonder why Jen makes me so much the Smitten Kitten? 😻 33:39 HA! This starts a Twisted Sister video I cobbled together for "Burn In Hell" from, I believe, WatchMojo videos.
I watched this movie when it came out as a teenager and it freaked me out! I'm a sucker for horror movies so it became one of my all time favourites instantly.
When that came out a lot of people didn't know it was a horror movie until they saw it. The posters just made it look like a scifi with nice chap from Jurrasic Park
There are other stories that use that concept of travel, folding space, but usually the opening takes you directly to the other side, but here it's explained that while it folds space it just brings the two points closer there's still some travel involved and it's in the in-between where they find themselves in hell, the only other time I saw anything similar to this was an animated X-Men series with a mutant capable of teleporting from one place to another and in trying to study his ability they slow down the rate of his teleportation and find that he actually travels through another dimension to get to where he wants and that too was a very hell like dimension.
Went to see in theater when it came out with my future wife. We were pretty shocked after seeing it so when we got home, I turned on the TV to change our minds a bit only to learn Princess Diana had been killed. Weird evening.
This was made in the late 90's, and it's interesting that they were still getting the science mixed up. A hole in space that allows a jump from one point to another ISN'T a black hole, but rather a wormhole. A black hole isn't anything other than a extremely dense field of gravity that even light can't escape from. They act like interstellar vacuum cleaners, sucking up and crushing anything that comes close to them. On the other hand, a wormhole is a corridor in space, just like what's shown in Star Trek DS9.
"Hellraiser in SPACE." Another great movie, with an absolutely STACKED cast, that was largely ignored and overlooked when it was first shown in theaters, but which quickly developed a following with movie rentals. It was one of the first DVDs I ever bought, and I've watched it at least a dozen times. LOVE IT!!
This is why you never want to go FTL without an intact Gellar field. 22:14 It's been in the Warp for the last seven years, and judging from all the blood on the bulkheads and everything, I'd say it's spent a good chunk of time in the realm of Khorne, the Blood God. 25:23 Peters must have done a bit of ayahuasca herself, cause how else would she have let the ship mess with her head like that and forget that her son is safe on Earth? 26:42 Those hull repair guns look in a weird way like Bolters, huh? Only with drum magazines.
14:50 In the best of situations, which this is not..., the EH is still his baby, his brain child, his triumph. I would be proud of it as well, along with being willing to hide any little Oopsie-Daisies in the code or physics... It is completely the trope of being his life's work and they are besmirching it. Also his wife was dead before the ship departed. She's technically not on the ship when it left our solar system, afterward leaves a lot to be imagined.
I'm not a horror/jump-scare fan, but I always loved this (especially the Prodigy track in the end credits) Worth watching "Outpost" from 2008 too, another awesome film.
Three things that convinced me never to go back to horror flicks/books: the orginal The Excorcist, reading the book Amytiville and lastly, Event Horizon. When I was in the Navy I read Amytivlle during the night on the ship in the berthing with red lights on before I went to bed. Yeah, never doing that again.
I saw this at the cinema because i loved paul andersons film shopping. for me at the time it was the scariest film i'd seen since hellraiser. for anyone interested the english lad was sean pertwee whos dad played the third doctor Who
I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid with my friends and their mom. We all wanted to see it, so she took us. Fast forward: when we got back, I had to walk home which was like 100 yards away,. It was like 10 o'clock at night, so naturally I sprinted all out the entire way given. Then when I got home, my parents weren't there because they had gone to the store, so I locked every door and turned on every light. I was feeling pretty confident.
LOVE this movie. It didn’t get the props it deserved back when it came out. I guess no one was ready for a sci-fi/horror flick about a ship that fosters a black hole into Hell…such a badass flick amiga 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Michale Kamen did a concert conducting a symphony with Metallica, S&M. They recieved a Grammy for one of the tracks on that concert. He did the score for Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie, Letha Weapon. Before he died he did X:Men, Tomb Raider and Band of Brothers. He passed in 2003. Great composer Edit: One of the theories surrounding this film is that they are in/or enter Warhammer 40K universe. Really cool Also I really recommend the videos by Critical Drinker. he's a huge fan of the film plus he interviewed one of the actors in another. great stuff

That's exactly what I thought when I saw this movie back in 1997: it's a mix of 2010 (a team is sent to find a lost spaceship), Hellraiser, Stargate and the video game Doom (the portal leading directly to hell). It is a shame that the footage with the gore scenes that were eliminated from the final cut due to pressure from the studio is completely lost.
@@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc Funny you should make the Doom comparison, since this was basically the plot of the horrible Doom movie (not the Karl Urban one).
@@LuisOrtiz-xo5kc Not Stargate. Warhammer 40k. One of the people working on the movie confirmed it. Faster than light travel means having to pass through a hell dimension. Except you would have things much worse than the cenobites doing that sort of thing to the crew.
May not be as underrated as it used to be at this point ...
but it still needs to be said , that this is one of the greatest Horror/Gore/SciFi Movies ever made !
Still gives me chills ....
What's crazy is that it was originally intended to be even more graphic than it was. All those quick cut images of the crew being tortured was taken from actual footage they shot but couldn't use in order to keep their R rating.
@@GamingwithDweavis We know , we know ...
First time I watched this, I was in the basement of the house of a friend of a friend. No windows, no real ventilation, and we were smoking pot; it was…quite the experience…
I was at a friends house sleeping over with 2 other friends when I first saw it. We all unanimously decided to turn it off and finish it in the morning.
@@RPShredow did you finish it or were yall like nah
I love this Warhammer 40k movie, you can even see the chaos symbol in one take.
When the blood starts running along the ceiling….I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME! IT IS A GOOD P A I N ! 👹👺😜🤪
VERY underrated and visually stunning sci-fi horror - The Cell with Jenifer Lopez and an incredible Vincent D'Onofrio. An F.B.I. Agent persuades a social worker, who is adept with a new experimental technology, to enter the mind of a comatose serial killer in order to learn where he has hidden his latest kidnap victim.. An F.B.I. Agent persuades a social worker, who is adept with a new experimental technology, to enter the mind of a comatose serial killer in order to learn where he has hidden his latest kidnap victim. One of the best looking films I have ever seen.
The Cell is AMAZING! It needs to be seen by more, for sure!
~1997 was right in a sweet spot where VFX was either terrible or amazing. It was a few years after Jurassic Park, so everybody was focused on CGI. But there was still a ton of expertise in great model work and practical effects that hadn't been pushed aside, and studios were still used to budgeting for prop, set, and model construction on pictures. Event Horizon is horrifying, but it perfectly balanced the novel CGI with the traditional, at a time when a toooooon of movies were doing really terrible looking CGI monsters that didn't hold up at all.
We were 15 and thought watching that movie tripping HARD on acid would be fun. It was, an experience...
I can second that, that movie has some absolutely gorgeous visual ideas, like the streamer-cape, omg
The Cell is an interesting premise and the dream sequences look great. The ending is a bit unexpected too. It definitely fits in to that era of late 90s gritty "serial killer with a plan" movies, but having slick CGI of the early 2000s.
I remember the first time I watched this movie. To this day, all I can think is that everything would have been fine if they only had their towels.
Nice Hitchiker's reference!
Event Horizon 2: The Trip to Barnard's Star
Awesome, dude! 🙂
Gateway to Hell < Vogon poetry
I thought that they were going to Proxima Centauri, not Betelgeuse.
Saw this in the theater with a friend when we were teenagers. As we walked out, neither of us said anything to the other for a minute. Finally, my friend decided to break the silence. He said, "that's the kind of movie that gets you right here," and gestured to his stomach.
When me and my friends saw it in the theater (our first R rated movie as we'd all turned 18 lol), one of the other theater patrons about 6 rows behind us had a full on panic attack and cried out "Somebody help me", they turned up the lights and put the movie on pause for a few minutes to deal with the person.
The whole thing scared the rest of the theater too lol... imagine if they had been able to stick all the cut footage in, ugh.
What I think is kinda cool is that despite all the sci-fi elements, this movie really comes down to just being a haunted house, but in space!
Which adds even more constraints and contention, because you simply cannot leave (like a house). I watched this movie in the cinema when it came out. To me it is one of the best movies I have ever seen, because it shows the conflicts within the characters more than any physical confrontation outside.
Oh boy talk about a "frig" counter. This one should be near the record books LOL
I wrapped up a 2800+ miles cross country drive/move this week...catching up with a small backlog of reactions is a great way to help me recharge.
onto the Scream reaction
This…along with the original “Hellraiser”… has to be the ultimate horror movies.
someone who feels the same as me, i've just posted to say hell raiser and event horizon are two of the scariest films i've seen
@@philhebden the third best horror movie, according to Bill Burr….is Titanic. lol
Both are cosmic horror type movies, which are few and far between sadly. In the Mouth of Madness, The Thing, The Void, Color Out of Space (an HP Lovecraft novel to movie, modernized), From Beyond, The Endless (not super scary, but still a mind F) are others of the same type that I like quite a bit.
"...well using layman's terms, we use a rotating magnetic field to focus a narrow beam of gravitons, these in turn fold space-time consistent with Weyl Tensor dynamics until a space-time curvature becomes infinitely large and you produce a singularity, now a singularity..." I say this to sound intelligent, problem is I quote it randomly and people think I'm insane...😂🤣
...which I am. 🤗❤
Love this movie, one of my absolute favourite sci-fi's. Morpheus, dude from Jurassic Park, awesome!! 🥳
Cheers for the video!! 🙏
I used to often quote it in high school for the same reasons 😂
After watching this movie in college, I was dropped off but I made my buddies wait in the car while I turned on all the lights in our house. I will not be watching this reaction with you :)
One of the most underrated Sci Fi Horror Thriller Films ever made!
The original cut of the movie was 130 minutes but the producers cut it down to 97 minutes as the film contained gory bloodier footage that caused the test audience to feel sick to their stomach. There were talks of a director's cut, yet most of the cut footage may be lost or destroyed.
The footage was found, in a salt mine in Transylvania of all places. But because of that environment and improper storage the film was damaged where only a few minutes at best where usable, so it was abandoned. But there is always hope that somewhere out there there is another copy of the footage.
@@memnarch129 I've seen a lot of people talk about wanting to see the extended version. But I really don't think that's necessary unless you're just really into gore-porn. You get the idea of the horror of the ship perfectly well from what you see in this cut. And as Jen mentions, those quick flashes are pretty effective at leaving an impression.
Sometimes less is more. Stuff cut out of a movie is very often cut for a good reason when gore is involved. At some point it stops being scary and just turns into disgusting and sickening, which is a different genre of movie. :P
Like with the cut scenes from "Alien" for example, none really add anything worthwile to the near-perfection of the cinematic cut.
@@memnarch129 How it end up there? And why put the stuff in an environment that ruins the footage?
...Also, were any people mysteriously lost/killed while retrieving lost horror movie footage from a Transylvanian salt mine? :D
@@lennyvalentin6485 IDRC, but think it wasnt the only footage stored there.
1:30 "OK, that was a horrible nightmare." Um... nope. It really wasn't :D
Saw this in the theater opening weekend with my mom. We both loved sci-fi movies and the marketing for it didn't say anything about it being a horror film which she hates lol.
The way it slowly introduces the horror elements throughout is really well done, to the point that non-horror folks become trapped and so invested even they must see it through to the end.
In some ways, the audience becomes trapped much like the characters on the Event Horizon itself.
Always fun to watch reactions of this film 😁 Great cast, especially Sam Neil as the villain with his immortal line "DO YOU SEE!!!" 😱
Michael Kamen had an interesting music career in addition to his great film scores.
"we're leaving" Smartest response in a horror movie.
in horror movie those magic words never come true, door always closed after that
It didn't help them
Back in 1997, I went to see this with friends without having seen the trailer. I thought it would be more of a space exploration movie. I had no idea what I was in for. lol
I'm pretty sure the marketing for this movie was intentionally vague, so your friends probably didn't know much more than you did.
I just started watching the reaction, 30 seconds in. Jen: you're with us now, you're with us.
Discoverd this channellike 2 weeksago,love the start trek episodes!,love sf
It’s been a rough two weeks but I still wanted to stop by for a second to show a little support. Great idea to put this out during spooky season Jen and I see that your security blanket has been working overtime this month as well 😂.
Thanks D! We're all thinking if you, hoping you're feeling well 💗
Same here, You hang in there, Dylan. 🙏❤🩹
Ok, one of my favorite quotes from Jen here in the 3rd act: "Oh No! Does he have eyes?!?!"
a cool story I heard when I was in film school about this movie. Apparently they fired a SFX guy but told him he could finish the day or something. so he hid a baby doll in the frozen body and was long gone by the time they went to shoot it. so when they drop it and it breaks apart there is a baby doll that you can actually see in the final film if you go frame by frame.
Also, the actor who played DJ wanted to take the dummy of his characters eviscerated body home with him
For reasons only he knew
The number of times you said "does he have eyes?!?!!??" lmao perfect reaction to this movie.
Your again awesome thumbnail sums this up Jen holy moly this is going to be jumpscaretastic 😱 love how Jen calls Lawrence fishburne Morpheus whenever she sees him 😀🔥💙🔥💙
"There's gonna be a jump scare in this movie, isn't there?"
:::cackles:::
I remember when I saw this movie in theaters... I was so creeped out... I walked out into the sunlight and stood there for 5 minutes before going home. I haven't seen the movie since. This was the closest I've come to rewatching this movie, Jen.
I saw it on VHS when it came out, also haven't watched it since
I like how some of the doorways and corridors are of that old-fashioned coffin shape--a subtle bit of symbolism.
You survived the ship Event Horizon! Great jump scares but it wad gory af! Thanks Jen ❤️💛
One of the best budget Sci-Fi horror films around.
Checkout Dog 🐕 Soldiers great movie 🎬
The cryosleep dream request is extremely valid. I would do the same. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Great reaction!
The "science mumbojumbo" scene actually makes sense. Gravitons are a hypothetical "gravity particle" the same way light exists in the form of photons. The Weyl Tensor is a measure of the curvature of spacetime, which we know is bent by gravity as in black holes. A singularity, specifically a gravitational singularity, is the center of a black hole, an infinitely dense point where its mass is contained.
The whole explanation means "we discovered gravitons do exist and we generate and concentrate them with magnets according to the known mathematical laws of bending spacetime, until we create a black hole"
Since Weir later says the core contains a black hole, it must mean they harness black hole creation to manipulate gravity until the space time around the ship is distorted until a wormhole portal is created.
Yup the gravity drive is a real theory, at least according to math and physics. Though we have never found a wormhole yet.
End Credit Song................................................Prodigy-Funky Shit. LOL My fav Band :)
Don't know if this was said already but the hell dimension footage was actually heavily censored for the movie release. Unless i am mistaken, I'm pretty sure the full version of those shots was never released to the public and is just sitting on some vault somewhere.
Event Horizon is one of the coolest premises for a horror movie i have seen and the visual design of the movie is excellent. The empty eye socket CGI always looked bad though.
The movie is also notable for being the main inspiration for the Dead Space game series which really nails this aesthetic. They're the scariest games i played through, though the constant shtick of LOUD NOISES!!!! gets old after a while. Speaking of games: this director did quite a lot of game to movie adaptations, all of them pure unadulterated trash save for the first Mortal Kombat movie.
The footage was, for some bizarre reason, stored in a salt mine somewhere in Europe and deteriorated so all the extra filmed scenes can't be recovered.
Original Mortal Kombat is actually a pretty decent movie. It's camp for sure, and visibly low-budget, but it's also fun and entertaining, and manages to wring a decent enough story out of the paper thin lore of the arcade game. :)
Apparently, the original Hell scenes were WAY too grotesque to be shown
The mind boggles of exactly what they showed
"Fold. The. Paper!" I'm not positive but i think this might be the movie that popularized the whole "fold a paper in half to explain wormholes" thing. I'm sure its come up other places, but I think this was the first demonstration for a mainstream audience.
This is probably one of my favorite all time horror films. The gore is used sparingly and effectively, without being overloaded on the viewer. Every character behaves rationally, intelligently, and competently (with the obvious exception of Weir), doing their absolute best to survive while demonstrating that they are exceptional professionals who are very good at their jobs. It just doesn't matter, because reality is falling apart around them 😂. Captain Miller just saying "fuck this, fuck your ship, fuck this mission, we're leaving" is probably the most relatable thing I've ever seen a character do in a horror movie. 10/10 in my book.
And a fun factoid: many people consider this an unofficial Warhammer 40k movie. If you know the lore of the universe, this movie is a FANTASTIC representation of how The Warp works there. 😂
Yeah, I laughed when they used the exact same thing in Interstellar!
All the way back in 1963, the book "A Wrinkle In Time" included a version of this using a piece of string instead of paper. There might have been a Heinlein novel that preceeded this, but I'm not certain.
I love it when Jen says, "Frig Off Movie!"
"Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse."
The funny thing about the guy using his air tank to get back is in horror movies a lot of times a character will have a death scene that wouldn't necessarily kill them but its just easier to write them giving up in a situation. I like that this movie shows that characters will instead try everything to survive even if it seems unlikely.
It's strange to me how this movie, that in 1997 was premiered without grief neither glory in the theaters (in numbers: a gross of 20 million dollars against a budget of 60 million dollars; not a big deal), have gained so much fame over the years. I'm happy by it because I love this movie since the day I watched in cinema on September 27, 1998 (in Spain it was premiered one year later than in USA). It's a good definition of space horror. Great reaction Jen.
"Space Instincts." Nuff said! Jen Murray is a Gem!
Watched this on a late night Space channel Friday movie. Didn’t sleep that night.
In the Words of Tony Stark: "OH it's Good to be Back!"😅Thank You very much for this one today, Jen💝the only thing I
Enjoyed (maybe) more than this Reaction was that I got to BE HERE throughout this entire Premiere!👍I'm not the best
Fan of Horror Movies either, but I've always been a Fan of this Director's Work🤩Paul W.S. Anderson cleverly combines
Sci-Fi into Horror with many of His Movies!👌
Recommendation: there's another Movie that's very similar to this one (in many ways) called "Sphere" ('98) and so far as
I know😇nobody else has Reacted to that one...not yet! (LOL)
When first I saw this, it stayed with me for a long time. I was savvy enough to know its imspirational origins, which are "2010: The year we make contact" and "Hellraiser". Yet despite this, its savage imagery and bleak message profoundly disturbed me to the point of having nightmares about it for some time after. To this day, it remains one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
If you think this movie was the first to have a premise similar to this, I challenge you to do a reaction to the Disney-made 1979 scifi film "The Black Hole."
For a Disney film, that one was really and I mean REALLY dark and creepy. I will only say that 'The Black Hole' also starts with finding a huge and creepy looking spaceship (that gives immensely ominous vibes when you see it) lost in space, in a situation involving both a black hole and the subject of Hell.
At more than one point in the film, YOU WILL FOR SURE say out loud something along the lines of "...and DISNEY made this movie??" I guarantee you'll end up saying that about a certain scene toward the end, in particular. I'm already betting money that scene will actually make you wonder how the frick the movie was supposed to have been made for child Disney audiences.
There is no nudity or profanity in it, but there is very dark morbidity despite that, however. You'll see what I mean.
Even the soundtrack is very dark, powerful and ominous.
PLEASE do a reaction to that one, and you won't regret it. But you may have nightmares after you see it.
Just sayin.'
Jen does love a good soundtrack, and that certainly has one.
The first time I watched this movie was at the 2004 Sci-Fi-London 3 Film Festival. It was an all-nighter consisting of Resident Evil, The Thing, Pitch Black and ending with Event Horizon. A great time (started the festival at 10am Saturday morning with The Dark Crystal, then many movies back-to-back, ending with a double bill of 28 Days Later and The X-Files on Sunday afternoon). 30 hours of no sleep goodness!
29:00 - "Does she have eyes?" - Well that's one way to check if she's one of the scary baddies. 😂😂😂
I saw this movie just after it was released on home video, I was 18 and a senior in high school and it totally freaked me out. The fact of something making you realize and "see" your worst fear was terrifying. Needless to say I didn't watch it again until I was 30.
I remember seeing this in the theaters when it came out. It’s one of only two or three movies that has actually scared me when I saw them.
And it’s crazy to think, that we are closer to the year this movie takes place, than we are to the year it was released.
11:00 Is this Jen’s moment of, “This one time, at band camp,” but with ayahuasca.
Fun fact: the long oblong shaped hallway set was reused in the 1998 film version of “Lost in Space”.
Had some great Jen screams in this one…😂
This movie still manages to scare the sh... out of me😂 The hellish dimension always gave me lovecraft vibes. Worth mentioning is also Michael Kamen's and Orbital's soundtrack which always stood out for me. Jen, thanks for your great reaction to this scifi/horror milestone ❤ I have seen a few other reactions to it as well but yours is by far the best...including the fantastic editing!👍
You have a wonderful day!
I first saw this as a 12-year-old because heck yeah! Sci-fi! Scared the hell out of me and I've never been able to bring myself to even consider watching it again. Watching this reaction was more than enough of a recap
11:35 This is interesting, seeing a lensing effect like that, because similar visual effects can be seen in observatory footage of black holes because it shows the area behind as bent light around them due to their much greater mass and stronger gravitational presence. Also, due to recorded evidence from at least two interferometers on nearly opposite sides of the planet, the existence of gravitational waves has been proven. The ones detected by our interferometers had traveled an incredible distance and so had weakened significantly, so to see an intense gravitational wave propagate from the core of the _Event Horizon_ and cause such damage makes sense.
I generally don't enjoy horror movies but Event Horizon has always been the perfect mix of SciFi and Horror to make me love it.
I can't wait to see what you make if this one, Jen; then again, it's always entertaining when Canada's sweetheart is in the house. 🤭🥰😘 xxxxx
A lot of gory stuff and drawn out horror was deleted and lost, but one thing we do know is that the "Weirbeast" at the end was supposed to be materialized in the water tank (causing the blood flood) and after Cooper and Starck fall from the ladder, we would see a skinless Weirbeast crawling down (this last shot is shown in the few deleted scenes extras). So when Starck calls Miller and we hear "we gotta get outta here", in the script she'd say "Miller, he's coming for you!" and he would be attacked by the Weirbeast/Burning Man. That's why Starck sees it in her nightmare at the end.
In fact, during production one of the lost versions of the ending had the Burning Man the entire time instead of the Weirbeast. And in the original script draft it claimed to NOT be Weir, but something far older that saw the Beginning and will see the End.
Thank you for putting yourself through this on our behalf, Jen. I saw this on its opening weekend and it creeped everyone out in the cinema, especially with its almost subliminally horrific imagery that you couldn't unsee (did you need eyes to see ?) The Shining and Hellraiser blended with 2001... Great reaction and Jenalysis as always. Now please don't have nightmares. We, your Usual Suspects, will be your metaphorical safety blanket...
17:20 "Frig off, Movie!" 🤣🤣🤣 Is it any wonder why Jen makes me so much the Smitten Kitten? 😻
33:39 HA! This starts a Twisted Sister video I cobbled together for "Burn In Hell" from, I believe, WatchMojo videos.
I watched this movie when it came out as a teenager and it freaked me out! I'm a sucker for horror movies so it became one of my all time favourites instantly.
Jen, give The Gate a go for a cool 80s practical effects proper VHS-fest
I second this! I loved The Gate growing up!
When that came out a lot of people didn't know it was a horror movie until they saw it. The posters just made it look like a scifi with nice chap from Jurrasic Park
Helluva movie. I like the fact the only one that was stupid was Weir. Everybody else was like, nope time to go. Fun reaction Jen
This is one of my favorite movies. Right up there with Cube (1997) which is another great sci-fi/horror movie.
There are other stories that use that concept of travel, folding space, but usually the opening takes you directly to the other side, but here it's explained that while it folds space it just brings the two points closer there's still some travel involved and it's in the in-between where they find themselves in hell, the only other time I saw anything similar to this was an animated X-Men series with a mutant capable of teleporting from one place to another and in trying to study his ability they slow down the rate of his teleportation and find that he actually travels through another dimension to get to where he wants and that too was a very hell like dimension.
Went to see in theater when it came out with my future wife. We were pretty shocked after seeing it so when we got home, I turned on the TV to change our minds a bit only to learn Princess Diana had been killed. Weird evening.
A really well made sci-fi horror movie. It’s always been one of my favourites. Definitely a close second to Alien in the category.
Pandorium next then? "Spiritual successor"
This was made in the late 90's, and it's interesting that they were still getting the science mixed up. A hole in space that allows a jump from one point to another ISN'T a black hole, but rather a wormhole. A black hole isn't anything other than a extremely dense field of gravity that even light can't escape from. They act like interstellar vacuum cleaners, sucking up and crushing anything that comes close to them. On the other hand, a wormhole is a corridor in space, just like what's shown in Star Trek DS9.
"Hellraiser in SPACE." Another great movie, with an absolutely STACKED cast, that was largely ignored and overlooked when it was first shown in theaters, but which quickly developed a following with movie rentals. It was one of the first DVDs I ever bought, and I've watched it at least a dozen times. LOVE IT!!
0:24 All Mark Kermode fans join in; "Hello to Jason Isaacs!"
This is why you never want to go FTL without an intact Gellar field.
22:14 It's been in the Warp for the last seven years, and judging from all the blood on the bulkheads and everything, I'd say it's spent a good chunk of time in the realm of Khorne, the Blood God.
25:23 Peters must have done a bit of ayahuasca herself, cause how else would she have let the ship mess with her head like that and forget that her son is safe on Earth?
26:42 Those hull repair guns look in a weird way like Bolters, huh? Only with drum magazines.
14:50 In the best of situations, which this is not..., the EH is still his baby, his brain child, his triumph. I would be proud of it as well, along with being willing to hide any little Oopsie-Daisies in the code or physics... It is completely the trope of being his life's work and they are besmirching it. Also his wife was dead before the ship departed. She's technically not on the ship when it left our solar system, afterward leaves a lot to be imagined.
Great reaction. That was some very sad (like sad unhappy, not sad bad) techno dancing when the credits rolled.
I'm not a horror/jump-scare fan, but I always loved this (especially the Prodigy track in the end credits)
Worth watching "Outpost" from 2008 too, another awesome film.
Three things that convinced me never to go back to horror flicks/books: the orginal The Excorcist, reading the book Amytiville and lastly, Event Horizon. When I was in the Navy I read Amytivlle during the night on the ship in the berthing with red lights on before I went to bed. Yeah, never doing that again.
I saw this at the cinema because i loved paul andersons film shopping. for me at the time it was the scariest film i'd seen since hellraiser. for anyone interested the english lad was sean pertwee whos dad played the third doctor Who
I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid with my friends and their mom. We all wanted to see it, so she took us. Fast forward: when we got back, I had to walk home which was like 100 yards away,. It was like 10 o'clock at night, so naturally I sprinted all out the entire way given. Then when I got home, my parents weren't there because they had gone to the store, so I locked every door and turned on every light. I was feeling pretty confident.
Not even sure I can watch a reaction to this. I watched it on a plane as a kid, it left an impression to say the least.
This is still the only movie i've seen as an adult that gave me nightmares
i remember sneaking into the cinema to watch this, since i was too young . good times
In the cinema, when they reached the EH through the clouds was an incredible moment.
This Sci Fi horror movie takes me right back to my childhood in the 90s. That was a time
now you should watch "Sphere"
LOVE this movie. It didn’t get the props it deserved back when it came out. I guess no one was ready for a sci-fi/horror flick about a ship that fosters a black hole into Hell…such a badass flick amiga 💀💀💀💀💀💀
I watched this when I was 9 and that scene in the green duct with the flashing lights scared the hell out of me. It was seared into my brain for weeks
I don't usually get disturbed by horror movies but I found the footage from the previous crew on the ship did that.
Hey Jen, interesting fact for you:
The layout of the Event Horizon is modeled on the Notre Dame Cathedral
This one of the darkest sci-fi flicks ever. LLLoved it.
Michale Kamen did a concert conducting a symphony with Metallica, S&M. They recieved a Grammy for one of the tracks on that concert.
He did the score for Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie, Letha Weapon. Before he died he did X:Men, Tomb Raider and Band of Brothers. He passed in 2003. Great composer
Edit: One of the theories surrounding this film is that they are in/or enter Warhammer 40K universe. Really cool
Also I really recommend the videos by Critical Drinker. he's a huge fan of the film plus he interviewed one of the actors in another. great stuff
