"When she left, she was just a ship, but when she came back, she was alive. Look at her Miller. Isn't she beautiful?" "Your 'beautiful' ship killed it's crew, Doctor." "Well, now she has a new crew: now she has us." "What do think you're doing, Doctor?" "You wanted to know where the Event Horizon has been. So, now you'll find out "
I absolutely low how Weir delivers that " ... well ... now she has a new crew" : there's a bit of sadnesss in there, not entirely unlike a father being disturbed by what his dear offspring is getting up to. It's like his normal, sane part is still there, but grief and guilt and horror have messed him up good.
Fun thing is Lovecraftian Mythos do not include spirits, ghosts, Hell and the Devil. Lovecraft considered those Christian depictions boring and overused from a literary perspective. That's why he created cosmic entities so terrible and Alien that they drive You Mad.
I suppose that is hell, but it doesn't have to be the Christian hell. I guess the video creator is refering to the unfathonable power and unknown nature of the threat.
I prefer his stories which either don't mention the big baddies or just reference them. Like The Mound, The Haunter of the Dark, The Thing on the Doorstep, etc.
Congratulations you’ve watched a TH-cam video on Lovecraft but you forgot to mention, about how he believed if weren’t of actual British decent you were a second class citizen, or how he believed anyone that wasn’t a white person was evil. Or how had a phobia of vaginas!
One of my favorite theories, is that's exactly what it is Both HellRaiser and Event Horizon are based off books by Clive Owens, refer to hell as its own dimension, and involve a contraption (Either the puzzle cube or gravity drive core) being able to open gateways. Personally, I believe it
You’re referring to Clive Barker who wrote The Hellbound Heart which was later translated to film as Hellraiser. Event Horizon was never a book as far as I know, Clive had nothing to do with it. I can see some inspiration with the gravity drive and the box.
Just because the gravity drive folds in itself doesn't mean it has anything to do with the properties of the Hellraiser puzzle cube...other than letting something evil into our reality, there's no other connection with the two.
The screen writer said his inspiration for this film was actually the warp from warhammer 40k. I think it's just pure coincidence that the gravity drive resembles the lament configuration, which is the puzzle cube most of you are referring to.
This movie is a hidden gem! That scene where you see glimpses of what happened to the original crew is traumatizing and part of why I haven’t watched it again lol
I know what you mean. The directors cut was said to be truly horrifying and showed a lot more about what happened to the original crew. This movie is the stuff of nightmares.
The way it ends with the ominous door closing in on them and hearing "were all safe" is such a bleak ending. I took that to be that the remaining of the ship is still haunted
There's a fan theory that the story of Event Horizon is mankind's first contact with the entities that reside in the "warp" of the Warhammer 40K universe. There's some common imagery in the ship and the Chaos faction art. Ive heard, but not confirmed, that some of the people working on this film were 40k fans. Its plausible as the what happened to the Event Horizon is what happens to unprotected ships that go into the warp in that universe.
Absolutely, it is hard to miss the 40k undertones to it. In 40k universe they developed a Geller field to protect against "the denizens of the warp" or the beings or entities that live in interdimensional space travel. They play on the fears and flaws in every person and it corrupts the person eventually using their own fears and weaknesses. It definitely seemed to have borrowed from that particular sci Fi universe and you could even call it prehistory to the 40k world and not be off the mark.
I agree somewhat but people who worked on hell raiser also worked on this the director took light inspiration from hellraiser. Weir and the ship act very much like cenobite. Weir looks like a damn cenobite. Although the ship does bear chaos like symbolism I'd argue it looks a lot more like a giant puzzle box. Theres really no mention of a dark god of any kind and some of the same phrases used in hellraiser (we have so much to show you for example) are used in event horizon, although I will mention that it could just be leviathan is a greater deamon of slannesh or vice versa as leviathan is also described as a god of excess. Or maybe they're the same as slannesh chances its form. Idk I just like hellraiser better as a shared universe
@@marcusrodriguez7395yes, but cenobites have an incredibly slaaneshi vibe, so they could be part of the same universe. I mean, time means nothing in the warp.
Yea, seems like they're just trying vomit out as much content as possible to get attention from the algorithm. It's giving them some rather uneven content and narrator quality.
The narration of this video was like some mad stream of consciousness. Was there a script or editors for it? A lot of random thoughts thrown in that barely matched what was going on. Bizarre.
In 40k chaos beings in the warp can actually possess machines and even ships exactly like in this movie. There was one event where a ships Geller field failed and a warp twisted train rammed through the ship killing people and wrecking havoc. The ship even bled from the damage like it was a living thing it's self even absorbing crew members while they were still alive.
According to the screenwriters twitter he says at the very least he was subconsciously influenced by playing 40k. Not to mention a good chunk of 40k fans like to believe this movie is in fact set inside the 40k universe before the invention of the Gellar field. I am one of those, head canon for me.
@@hollow1585 I heard that too and I always figured that was the case because he nailed it. I knew it was not a sneak prequel given how sue happy GW is but it's fun to think about. :P

You know what would be better, if you made a video on the lore, easter eggs and or trivia about the films production, rather than summarise the entire film (incorrectly).
I think this was one of the first space horror movies that got me interested in the genre. Absolutely loved how dark and gritty the plot was and nostalgia makes it one of my old favorites. I wish it had been expanded more. Edit: Uh. This was just a rehashing of the movie, not an actual breakdown of the plot and the theories surrounding it.
Apparently the first half goes through the movie, second half has some theories etc. I stopped watching these at some point as i though these are just movies condensed.
@@Bozar069 what's your favorite part of this movie, btw? I honestly haven't seen it in a while. I love the whole concept honestly. I'm honestly not sure what my favorite part is. And I just had a thought. How cool would it be to see what Justin saw when he first went in the black hole engine (whatever it's called) in the beginning. That would be nuts.
This movie still give me the chills. When i think of sci fi horror movies, this one is at the top - right next to Aliens. I which the directors cut had survived. If the stories are true then it would have only made this movie even scarier. I still cant believe they used scenes from it in Star Trek Voyager.
What I would like to see for Event Horizon is a prequel movie showing us the audience how they constructed the Event Horizon and how the ship went to hell and came alive and more about the original mission of the Event Horizon before it got lost in space and all hell broke loose. It would be interesting even though they showed it in the 1997 movie the original crew members more in depth going crazy and turning on each other.
@@rickyb6086 Yes definitely, the movie opens us too so many questions like how did they open a gateway to hell was it there original mission or did it happen by accident, even though it's talked about and is shown to a certain degree it's never fully explained or shown to the audience what the original mission was, it would be make quite an interesting movie to show us these events.
Always good to see Event Horizon being given the respect it deserves, but the 'explanations' descend into a near-impenetrable miasma of wordhash and presumptions.
I completely agree. I'm not certain that the narrator actually watched & understood the movie. Some "facts" & "explanations" were incorrect. I love Event Horizon. This video could have been better.
Okay here is mine: When triggering the gravity drive they basically ascended into the fourth dimension. Because human beings are fully 3rd dimension they all went insane. The ship itself would be a massive thing that has all these computers and junk controlling it. This computer is then kind of mutated and gains sentience through this fourth dimension hop. Then keeps said sentience once the hop is completed. Since it requires power, and humans to live which are all dead it powered down and then started to send distress signals. Then once more humans came onboard it woke up pushing hallucinations (Which is easy to do heck strong magnets can cause hallucinations) to make the humans do the things it wants. Sam Neil (the crazy guy who becomes a part of the ship) is probably one of the only ones who can even start to comprehend the 4th space since he was the one who built the ship and drive. So that is why he is not driven completely batship bonkers to suicidal glee. He's the only one that can actually 'know' this stuff which is why he is even able to be 'brought back' in essence. Now with more human English WHAT this space is, is gone on about. Basically think of the Warhammer space as going through the hell portal from Doom. The other space is more like a vast ocean where you are a single cell. you can't move around yourself and have to find a way to do so. Better?
The book just explains what actually happened and the answer isn't as crazy as you think. Simply when Event Horizon jumped, it didn't actually moved, it time traveled so far back into time that even "god himself didn't exist" for reason that are unknown. Because of this, the ship and crew sit in a period of time that isn't legal and thus go insane, this explains why some of the crew are not themselves and others are. The reason for all the rape and murder is explained that each human was reset to a primitive version of themselves but again, it doesn't explain why some are insane, and others are not.
@@megansimplystitch I think that you are right. The 'narrator' obviously did not care for the material. The scriptwriter also did not like the movie and made some very unsubtle jabs. I got eight and a half minutes into this 'review' and had to stop.
This movie had a profound effect on me when I was around 13-14. They were weaving together these heady concepts- horror with theology, and redemption and longing with interdimensional travel in SPACE! I hadn't seen anything like it before. It's so far from the beaten path and it's basically a perfect movie if there is such a thing.
Same for me. Some movies really do change your perception of the world around you. Grew up very religious and didn’t see it until the same age as you, probably in 2000-02. Hell was always a place I guess , maybe a spiritual place for lost souls. But I’m this movie it’s a place overlaid onto our world. Melted my mind.
Agreed. I didn't quite buy the "opening a gateway to hell" thing - too simplistic - so Weir's "this is much, much worse" was a nice touch. I like that the movie stayed ambiguous about it, and Captain Miller's final scene makes me both cheer for his courage and be heart-broken.
Imagine if all the Maddenng Dimensions, Mysteries, and Allusions going on this film were being caused by a Meta-Human with the Supernatural Ability to Manipulate or Warp Reality.
Now, you say the original crew was killed, but their bodies didn't come back with the ship. Since Weir kept coming back to life, that makes me think the original crew might still be stuck in this 'hell' dimension. Killed and brought back to life, over and over. Forever.
That is indeed one of the main working theories. I like it myself. Ambiguous enough to where we’re just not sure. (Btw, new to this channel. LOVE this film, but the narrator/creator of this vid? He always speak so monotone? Or maybe you’re not a follower either? He made it pretty hard to listen)
@@paulsteel9127 my thoughts exactly. Of course, their minds / souls could very well be stuck in a dimension where physical bodies like we're used to don't exist / aren't needed, but either way: all that gore has to come from somewhere. Oh, and one of the first things they found on the Event Horizon was that dead "explosive decompression doesn't do that" body floating along.
@@acheron1104 I feel like there’s some kind of hidden meaning there since they’re dealing with hell n all. I don’t think that was a accident or coincidence.
@@marcusmulethaler5367 well i mean it is in space which is almost quite literally as heaven lol. But you're right most people don't really know what the description of a seraphim angel looks like, they just immediately think about angels being beautiful men or woman with huge wings.
I absolutely LOVE this film. One of exceptionally few I've seen to genuinely scare me in the theater. "Event Horizon" is a horror classic par excellence.
Does the narrator just add random ill fitting words to the script ? Using words in the wrong place or the wrong word entirely thus making what is being said into nonsense
In the same amount of time between 2000 and now, were supposed to advance that much? Hollywood loves to overestimate the capabilities of science. I love this movie but I never realized how close we were getting to it's date.
To give credit where its due, we did go from the first flight to landing on the moon in 60 years. So it isnt unreasonable to think that we could have advanced that quickly.
Yeah you guys need to get rid of some of these narrators.. The dude narrating this video sound like he can't decide on what to go for, he shifts between trying (but failing) to talk like some TV Journalist, to trying to put weight on certain words for effect, but it all just sounds fantastically stupid.
This is 1 of my fav films EVER!!! I remember as a teenager...at the old video rental store about 5 miles from my home...the owner sold me the copy he had for like 2.50$....cause nobody would rent it...i watched it so much...and this was way back on VHS...this is a great sci fi/horror film...the sci fi part of it is kinda believable....the warp drive is explained well...it creates a mini black hole...supposed to curve space time but actually ripped space time and travelled into a hell like dimension....i don't understand how it was launched back...unless it's where the ship itself seemed to be possessed....then I suppose the ship itself launched back into our dimension....i also like the sci fi part of the normal earth space ships...we don't have any super fast ships and our crews have to do the cryo sleep type stuff(or whatever its called)....and the way Dr. Weir lost his mind was great....and I love the subtle lovecraftian elements to this film!!!
absolutely love the movie. Among my most unnerving areas about it is the gravity drive itself.. it’s haunting man. And if any of you know what biblical angels are meant to look like ( good vid on YT) it makes it even more creepy man. They done so well merging religious imagery and such. Whole thing is very very underrated and I’m glad I’m part of the cult classic fans.
Went to see both this movie and Mimic back-to-back at a Star Theater back when they both came out in 97. That was one of best movie outings I ever had! x3
A masterpiece! Love this movie! The relation with 40k is a very popular fan-theory among the wh40k players. It's obvious... but despite how good this movie is, it's less than an appetizer compared to the horrors and disgusting things filling the 40k universe. Sure! It can be a first peek. - Night Lords (*) 40k players have used "Ex Inferis" as deco graffity in their vehicles and dreadnaughts thanks to this movie afaik. (*) a chaos legion of sadistic psycho killer ubber soldiers that dedicate to terror tactics and torture to death in the most gruesome ways entire planets populations. Nasty buggers... you don't want them in yer'hood. Trust me.
Not to mention the Slaanesh worshiping Emperor's Children who's pleasure excesses include self-mutilation (Weir at the climax of the film with the gashed flesh reminds me of Lucius the Eternal), as well as the bloodthirsty Khorne worshiping World Eaters who have practised canibalism (in addition to being frothing-mouthed butchers) The Event Horizon itself could be the first Space Hulk.
Btw, if you watch this movie make sure it's completely uncensored. You need to see the entirety of the disturbing scenes or it's pointless. This movie deserved more attention.
It took me over 20 yrs to really appreciate how deep the casting was for this Gothic horror sci-fi. An actor who played as Satan's son. An actor who later played as the one of the liberators from the Matrix. An actress who technically played as Rod Serling's teacher. And, of course, the real life son of a Doctor Who.
Whats really terrifying is this is probably what traveling through different dimensions would happen. Kinda of like hellraiser type or “the warp” from warhammer. Different dimensions all things are completely different and impossible in ours.
Yeah this is the most terrifying haunted house set in space yeah the ship is alive Event horizon I wish they put the deleted cuts from the actual film.
Some believe this to be set in the 40K universe long before "Old Night" or the "Age of Strife", as the Event Horizon had NONE of the safeguards of the ships in that universe had and the consequences seemed to match up.
Fun fact: Many of the crew members behind the camera came directly from the sets of the Hellraiser movies. I think this movie could even be part of the Hellraiser universe. You could even argue the gravity drive resembles some kind of a Hellraiser puzzle box.
I'd say this was more of a Slaanesh incursion than Khorne. Also, please consider dropping or changing your cringe plea for Likes at the beginning and end of your videos. If we like it, we'll Like it.
Idc what anybody says I consider this as a FAR prequel to 40k. Even Paul admitted Warhammer had a huge impact on this movie & said they couldn’t get rights to make a 40k movie so they made this instead
The ships gothic look the fact that ships have to travel through a hellish dimension in order to move about universe and that universe warp you physically and psychically usage of Latin it is all Warhammer 40k lore. This is why fans consider this a prequel to 40k, before the emperor of man and his powerful psychic abilities that help humans travel through that dimension.
The first Warhammer 40k Movie was epic. Such an amazing film.. really wish they hadn't fucked up the cut footage so we could have the extras and directors cut.

What would be opened is a wormhole, not a blackhole. If you know anything about blackholes, you would know that they only lead to the center of the hole.
BAck in 98 i brought this movie over to my moms house to watch then i went home lol she apparently got so scared that night she had every light in the house on and still brings this movie up to this day. "YOU left me!~'
It is clear why many of us WH fans consider this like an unofficial Warhammer 40k prequel. For anyone that reads me, take a moment right now and go watch the Warhammer Darktide World intro trailer, you will see how entering the warp feels !
They should consider the next chapter of Event Horizon, and make it a franchise 6:26, first containment zone. That was in the attraction ride from Universal Studios. It was used in the 6 Million Dollar Man episode, tv show
One of the GREATEST sci-fi movies ever made ... Also, one of the most CRIMINALLY underrated movies ever created...
If you like this movie, try Nightflyers. It's got a similar evil spaceship vibe.
Has a great cast, but i would love to see the uncut version!
Could have been. Could have been.
I'd say Alien is the greatest, but this one is great too & also Pandorum

Then once more humans came onboard it woke up pushing hallucinations (Which is easy to do heck strong magnets can cause hallucinations) to make the humans do the things it wants.
Sam Neil (the crazy guy who becomes a part of the ship) is probably one of the only ones who can even start to comprehend the 4th space since he was the one who built the ship and drive. So that is why he is not driven completely batship bonkers to suicidal glee. He's the only one that can actually 'know' this stuff which is why he is even able to be 'brought back' in essence.
Now with more human English WHAT this space is, is gone on about. Basically think of the Warhammer space as going through the hell portal from Doom. The other space is more like a vast ocean where you are a single cell. you can't move around yourself and have to find a way to do so. Better?
The book just explains what actually happened and the answer isn't as crazy as you think. Simply when Event Horizon jumped, it didn't actually moved, it time traveled so far back into time that even "god himself didn't exist" for reason that are unknown. Because of this, the ship and crew sit in a period of time that isn't legal and thus go insane, this explains why some of the crew are not themselves and others are. The reason for all the rape and murder is explained that each human was reset to a primitive version of themselves but again, it doesn't explain why some are insane, and others are not.
@@megansimplystitch I think that you are right. The 'narrator' obviously did not care for the material. The scriptwriter also did not like the movie and made some very unsubtle jabs. I got eight and a half minutes into this 'review' and had to stop.
This movie serves as one of the sources of inspiration for the game DEAD SPACE. This is still one of my favorite movies.
and the movie itself was inspired by 40k
I wish they'd finally find the missing scenes and release an extended "director's cut"
They were stored in an abandoned mine, and by the time they were recovered they'd degraded beyond salvaging :(
@@trevorday7923 Yep that's what I heard too, but supposedly they have tape recordings of those lost scenes.
Never go through the Warp without a Gellar Field. Check! 😂🤣😂😂
This movie had a profound effect on me when I was around 13-14. They were weaving together these heady concepts- horror with theology, and redemption and longing with interdimensional travel in SPACE! I hadn't seen anything like it before. It's so far from the beaten path and it's basically a perfect movie if there is such a thing.
Same for me. Some movies really do change your perception of the world around you.
Grew up very religious and didn’t see it until the same age as you, probably in 2000-02.
Hell was always a place I guess , maybe a spiritual place for lost souls. But I’m this movie it’s a place overlaid onto our world.
Melted my mind.
Agreed. I didn't quite buy the "opening a gateway to hell" thing - too simplistic - so Weir's "this is much, much worse" was a nice touch. I like that the movie stayed ambiguous about it, and Captain Miller's final scene makes me both cheer for his courage and be heart-broken.
Imagine if all the Maddenng Dimensions, Mysteries, and Allusions going on this film were being caused by a Meta-Human with the Supernatural Ability to Manipulate or Warp Reality.
One of my favorite movies, thank you for doing this
This movie is a classic nice to see you reviewing it.
Now, you say the original crew was killed, but their bodies didn't come back with the ship. Since Weir kept coming back to life, that makes me think the original crew might still be stuck in this 'hell' dimension. Killed and brought back to life, over and over. Forever.
That is indeed one of the main working theories.
I like it myself.
Ambiguous enough to where we’re just not sure.
(Btw, new to this channel. LOVE this film, but the narrator/creator of this vid?
He always speak so monotone?
Or maybe you’re not a follower either?
He made it pretty hard to listen)
The bodies of many of the original crew were splattered all over the ship.
@@paulsteel9127 my thoughts exactly. Of course, their minds / souls could very well be stuck in a dimension where physical bodies like we're used to don't exist / aren't needed, but either way: all that gore has to come from somewhere. Oh, and one of the first things they found on the Event Horizon was that dead "explosive decompression doesn't do that" body floating along.
No shit
Lmao, you can always tell when someone is just reading notes and hasn't seen the film they are talking about. Shame it's a brilliant film.
Yeah: The inaccuracies and purple prose made me wince.
More like they got a glimps of Hellraiser world

P.S. Hellraiser: Event Horizon
No one is goin to talk about how the sphere that makes black holes looks an awfully lot like a seraphim angel? Just me? Ok
I've been saying that for years and people just look at me all lost.
@@acheron1104 I feel like there’s some kind of hidden meaning there since they’re dealing with hell n all. I don’t think that was a accident or coincidence.
@@acheron1104 they probably don’t know what a seraphim angel looks like or even what it is.
It does not look at all like one?
@@marcusmulethaler5367 well i mean it is in space which is almost quite literally as heaven lol. But you're right most people don't really know what the description of a seraphim angel looks like, they just immediately think about angels being beautiful men or woman with huge wings.
I absolutely LOVE this film. One of exceptionally few I've seen to genuinely scare me in the theater. "Event Horizon" is a horror classic par excellence.
So underrated when it came out, now it's one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.❤
I would love a sequel where they travel to the hell dimension.
Seeing this at 10 years old was pretty scary, but somehow being 21 and understanding more of the concepts has made this movie even more horrifying
The Event Horizon travelled into the Warp, the realm of the Chaos gods.
I just picked up on something... The "Chaos God" referenced from Warhammer looks nearly identical to "Chaos" from the original Final Fantasy
I wouldn't call it a god.
@@blackagent4754lmao shut up
@@uav5594 Bro, your username is UAV. You definitely are an unmanned aerial vehicle, because you have the intellect of one.
Does the narrator just add random ill fitting words to the script ? Using words in the wrong place or the wrong word entirely thus making what is being said into nonsense
Love this channel!!!
Just that warp drive alone looks like the mark of chaos
In the same amount of time between 2000 and now, were supposed to advance that much? Hollywood loves to overestimate the capabilities of science. I love this movie but I never realized how close we were getting to it's date.
To give credit where its due, we did go from the first flight to landing on the moon in 60 years. So it isnt unreasonable to think that we could have advanced that quickly.
Sorry, but some of your script isn't even grammatical correct English
Yeah you guys need to get rid of some of these narrators.. The dude narrating this video sound like he can't decide on what to go for, he shifts between trying (but failing) to talk like some TV Journalist, to trying to put weight on certain words for effect, but it all just sounds fantastically stupid.
This is 1 of my fav films EVER!!! I remember as a teenager...at the old video rental store about 5 miles from my home...the owner sold me the copy he had for like 2.50$....cause nobody would rent it...i watched it so much...and this was way back on VHS...this is a great sci fi/horror film...the sci fi part of it is kinda believable....the warp drive is explained well...it creates a mini black hole...supposed to curve space time but actually ripped space time and travelled into a hell like dimension....i don't understand how it was launched back...unless it's where the ship itself seemed to be possessed....then I suppose the ship itself launched back into our dimension....i also like the sci fi part of the normal earth space ships...we don't have any super fast ships and our crews have to do the cryo sleep type stuff(or whatever its called)....and the way Dr. Weir lost his mind was great....and I love the subtle lovecraftian elements to this film!!!
absolutely love the movie. Among my most unnerving areas about it is the gravity drive itself.. it’s haunting man. And if any of you know what biblical angels are meant to look like ( good vid on YT) it makes it even more creepy man. They done so well merging religious imagery and such. Whole thing is very very underrated and I’m glad I’m part of the cult classic fans.
I like how in recent years Event Horizon has been linked to Warhammer 40K
I was wondering when this video might pop up. Great job! :) Love how you included the WH40K.
Went to see both this movie and Mimic back-to-back at a Star Theater back when they both came out in 97.
That was one of best movie outings I ever had! x3
Great movie, but you don't seem to know how to use words correctly. Like a robot wrote your script.
A masterpiece! Love this movie! The relation with 40k is a very popular fan-theory among the wh40k players. It's obvious... but despite how good this movie is, it's less than an appetizer compared to the horrors and disgusting things filling the 40k universe. Sure! It can be a first peek.
- Night Lords (*) 40k players have used "Ex Inferis" as deco graffity in their vehicles and dreadnaughts thanks to this movie afaik.
(*) a chaos legion of sadistic psycho killer ubber soldiers that dedicate to terror tactics and torture to death in the most gruesome ways entire planets populations. Nasty buggers... you don't want them in yer'hood. Trust me.
Not to mention the Slaanesh worshiping Emperor's Children who's pleasure excesses include self-mutilation (Weir at the climax of the film with the gashed flesh reminds me of Lucius the Eternal), as well as the bloodthirsty Khorne worshiping World Eaters who have practised canibalism (in addition to being frothing-mouthed butchers)
The Event Horizon itself could be the first Space Hulk.
Honestly, you want nothing to do with any of the traitor legions
Thought I was having a stroke listening to the narrator
This is what happens when you travel through other dimensions without a Gellar field 😉
Event Horizon is basically the last hour of Hellraiser 4 with some minor rewrites
Opening weekend. Saturday night, 1997
There was like 6 people in audience 💯
Btw, if you watch this movie make sure it's completely uncensored. You need to see the entirety of the disturbing scenes or it's pointless. This movie deserved more attention.
If you know anything about war hammer 40k some people think this is humanity’s first experience with the warp. Basically warhammer 20k.
Which they admitted they were fans of
Lol I was about to mention the gellar field generators failed. This is why you always need a librarian.
Only heard of this movie in passing, but everything about this sounds amazing, looking it up now.
This is what inspired dead space
Damn, Smith was pretty broken up about what Doctor Weir did to his poster explaining the gravity drive.
Nah, they wasn't taken by Khorne. Slaneesh would be more likely.
It took me over 20 yrs to really appreciate how deep the casting was for this Gothic horror sci-fi. An actor who played as Satan's son. An actor who later played as the one of the liberators from the Matrix. An actress who technically played as Rod Serling's teacher. And, of course, the real life son of a Doctor Who.
Son of a Dr. Who? Who?!
@@guybrush1701 Sean Pertwee. His dad was the 3rd 🥉 Dr. Who : Jon Pertwee.
@@ai6894 awesome. Thanks!
Whats really terrifying is this is probably what traveling through different dimensions would happen. Kinda of like hellraiser type or “the warp” from warhammer. Different dimensions all things are completely different and impossible in ours.
Good effort, but the writing and narrative delivery were definitely off this time. Felt largely like an unconnected series of sentences.
Yeah this is the most terrifying haunted house set in space yeah the ship is alive Event horizon I wish they put the deleted cuts from the actual film.
Some believe this to be set in the 40K universe long before "Old Night" or the "Age of Strife", as the Event Horizon had NONE of the safeguards of the ships in that universe had and the consequences seemed to match up.
A Space Odyssey meets Hellraiser
I’m thinking entering through airlock 13 probably wasn’t the best idea.
This was a terrifying movie.
. . . Always appreciate Event Horizon content. Always. EH deserves the love. But I swear the script sounds like Google Translate wrote it.
Fun fact: Many of the crew members behind the camera came directly from the sets of the Hellraiser movies. I think this movie could even be part of the Hellraiser universe. You could even argue the gravity drive resembles some kind of a Hellraiser puzzle box.
I'd say this was more of a Slaanesh incursion than Khorne. Also, please consider dropping or changing your cringe plea for Likes at the beginning and end of your videos. If we like it, we'll Like it.
and this is why you never forget to turn the Gellar field on lads, the Emperor protects.
Demonic Creatures from the „Outcast“ TV Show explained
If you slow down the scenes of the original crew in hell, there’s some awful visuals. Great, underrated movie
Idc what anybody says I consider this as a FAR prequel to 40k. Even Paul admitted Warhammer had a huge impact on this movie & said they couldn’t get rights to make a 40k movie so they made this instead
Imagine in that scene when Justin aw 3 rings get aligned and when light emerge manifestation of Khorne exit the core
The ships gothic look the fact that ships have to travel through a hellish dimension in order to move about universe and that universe warp you physically and psychically usage of Latin it is all Warhammer 40k lore. This is why fans consider this a prequel to 40k, before the emperor of man and his powerful psychic abilities that help humans travel through that dimension.
The gothic look was directly inspired by the notee dame though i've never read it being inspired by 40k officially
Man...this is so much WH40K Chaos Warp :D
An instant classic,and a masterpiece! Dr Dinosaur was EPIC in this film. True mind bender
EVENTLESS HORIZON : In Space no one can hear you snore.
Event Horizon was Lovecraftian in influence while War Hammer was built by pillaging Moorecock.
This movie gave me the creeps! Bought the DVD!!!
The first Warhammer 40k Movie was epic. Such an amazing film.. really wish they hadn't fucked up the cut footage so we could have the extras and directors cut.
Warhammer 2k*
@@bloodangel19 Just because it's a prequel doesn't make it not a 40k movie. And that'd be 2.5k if anything.
@@NaglfarCommando well if we go about it like that it's not even 40k rn, it's like 41 or 42 k i don't remember exactly
Still unofficial, no matter how many gamer geeks claim otherwise.
@@owenshebbeare2999 as far as i remember even the guy who made the movie said he was inspired by warhammer.
I LOVE EVENT HORIZON SO SO MUCH💜💜
❤ The Movie, Actors, Set & Scene Effects, Pacing and Cinema Photography! I built 2 Dioramas of the Speer & Chamber. 1 I ‘added on- incorporated into; a Display Model of a Large Condo Floor Plan - near other Normal Scale Floor Models. When a Client comes😂🤣😅 in & Asks about,’ ..and WHAT is THAT Room for!!?’ I Roll my Eyes and Query “.. don’t YOU already have one of these in your present residence??🙄” Love their reactions. God Bless. 👴🏼NoBody.
What would be opened is a wormhole, not a blackhole. If you know anything about blackholes, you would know that they only lead to the center of the hole.
Most don't catch that Weir is in the rescue crew at the end.
Also has something of warhammer 40k with warp traveling
BAck in 98 i brought this movie over to my moms house to watch then i went home lol she apparently got so scared that night she had every light in the house on and still brings this movie up to this day. "YOU left me!~'
It is clear why many of us WH fans consider this like an unofficial Warhammer 40k prequel. For anyone that reads me, take a moment right now and go watch the Warhammer Darktide World intro trailer, you will see how entering the warp feels !
The movie is 100% Lovecraftian cosmic horror.
The Event Horizo opened up a gate to Azathoth.
Khorne is the Chaos God of War. Blood for the Bloodgod! Skulls for the Skullthrone!
They should consider the next chapter of Event Horizon, and make it a franchise
6:26, first containment zone. That was in the attraction ride from Universal Studios. It was used in the 6 Million Dollar Man episode, tv show
