"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!
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
I know this is a comment from 3 years ago, but think about this: the movie's title is a big hint to the fate of the crew. The Event Horizon is the point at which there is no escape.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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).
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.
I think they cant die and are just in agony forever outside of time Either that or the 40k sorta thing of this ship being possessed by an entity that would consume their souls.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
The blast in the beginning is described more in the novel as the gravity waves released after Justin was pulled through the gateway. Those waves are a literal distortion of space-time disrupting the fabric of reality, damaging the lewis and clark.
The only weird thing to me about this movie is weir. His whole journey to becoming possessed by the ship almost seems like it was accidentally edited out of order. One scene he seems possessed and the very next he’s right back to normal and that happens several times. The open the door scene he seems like his coming under control of the ship and the next scene it’s like nothing happened. When they are trying to leave the ship he goes straight from “you can’t leave”, she won’t let you, I am home” straight to “oh god peters oh no”. It’s just odd to me.
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.
I saw this in the theatre when it came out. The first scene that you get a full view of the Event Horizon in Neptunes orbit the rumbling sound you hear blew the subwoofers at the front of the theatre.
After watching it years later and a further understanding of the premise, im convinced weir enters the gateway as they all were more or less thrusted in and out of the path it went. Only the weak ones succumbed to the psychological hell
Zero real analysis. Simply a retelling of the film. Just watch the real film and skip this Warhammer fan fiction. This is simply click bait for Event Horizon and Lovecraft fans. 👎
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.
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
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!~'
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.
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
@@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.
This movie is the GOAT of lovecraftian horror movies. No movie does this genre well. EH was perfect from concept to execution. The only other two I'd nominate are "the thing" -1980(?) And "the void"
Says "the ship is the protagonist" then immediately follows it up with "or you could say our villain"... Good video though, love Event Horizon. Slept with the lights on for a week after seeing it in theaters.
I watched it with my wife ten years ago, and she was afraid to go to the bathroom this night... One of my favorites of all time, because of the concepts you are discussing here very well.
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.
Saw in theatres with my Dad. It was so good, we saw it twice, then rented it when it came out at Crown Video. Supposedly, there was a significant amount of extra footage that was cut for time, unfortunately, it's been either lost or destroyed. Imo, the creator was inspired by both "Alien" (H.R. Giger-esque ship), and "Hellraiser" (The "Core", Mutilation, "Hell" dimension).
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
One of the most terrifying movies I have ever seen. It is one of those that I still would not watch alone in a dark room after sun is set. It is not the gore or special effects that unnerves me most but rather the spirit of corruption and malign thinking taking root inside of man. Something about it feels too real , as if it was only a thin layer away from us. It could be said that the current age of confusion , gender disorders and moral indifference, is the forerunner for that creeping insidious evil.
This was one of my favorites as a teen. Need to rewatch it. Such a great time to rewatch classics, as now we can get 1080p and 2160p scans from film movies. 2160p is quite close to projection quality already.
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
Hold your breath and hold as long as you can and then imagine that for Eternity and imagine that on top of any other pain on top of any other pain for Eternity. That's the Beginning of Hell.

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).
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.
I think they cant die and are just in agony forever outside of time
Either that or the 40k sorta thing of this ship being possessed by an entity that would consume their souls.
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.
Sounded like Engrish in a few places...
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.
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.
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
Never go through the Warp without a Gellar Field. Check! 😂🤣😂😂
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.
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!
I was wondering when this video might pop up. Great job! :) Love how you included the WH40K.
Event Horizon...
It's such a hidden gem...
Only heard of this movie in passing, but everything about this sounds amazing, looking it up now.
Hold up, when did you guys start adding your own fan fiction to your Movie Reviews?
An instant classic,and a masterpiece! Dr Dinosaur was EPIC in this film. True mind bender
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.
Most underrated film in history. Possibly one of the scariest movies ever made
Did whoever wrote this actually watch the movie?
"Alien rip off"
"Ship shaped like a helicopter"
"Grey headed man"
None of that was right.
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.
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.
One of my favorite movies, thank you for doing this
I like how in recent years Event Horizon has been linked to Warhammer 40K
Love this channel!!!
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!!!
The blast in the beginning is described more in the novel as the gravity waves released after Justin was pulled through the gateway. Those waves are a literal distortion of space-time disrupting the fabric of reality, damaging the lewis and clark.
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
I would love a sequel where they travel to the hell dimension.
The Event Horizon travelled into the Warp, the realm of the Chaos gods.
A criminally underated movie.
Opening weekend. Saturday night, 1997
There was like 6 people in audience 💯
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.
The only weird thing to me about this movie is weir. His whole journey to becoming possessed by the ship almost seems like it was accidentally edited out of order. One scene he seems possessed and the very next he’s right back to normal and that happens several times.
The open the door scene he seems like his coming under control of the ship and the next scene it’s like nothing happened. When they are trying to leave the ship he goes straight from “you can’t leave”, she won’t let you, I am home” straight to “oh god peters oh no”.
It’s just odd to me.
Brilliant movie, amazing production design.
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.
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.
I saw this in the theatre when it came out. The first scene that you get a full view of the Event Horizon in Neptunes orbit the rumbling sound you hear blew the subwoofers at the front of the theatre.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! NERD LOVE!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
More like they got a glimps of Hellraiser world
th-cam.com/video/zMy3_DWExWg/w-d-xo.html
P.S. Hellraiser: Event Horizon
Just that warp drive alone looks like the mark of chaos
Loved this movie, still throw this on at night before bed sometimes
After watching it years later and a further understanding of the premise, im convinced weir enters the gateway as they all were more or less thrusted in and out of the path it went. Only the weak ones succumbed to the psychological hell
Zero real analysis. Simply a retelling of the film. Just watch the real film and skip this Warhammer fan fiction. This is simply click bait for Event Horizon and Lovecraft fans. 👎
Yeah, I thought the Warhammer references ruined the flow of the video, too. Guy sounds extremely ill-informed.
Thanks.
My favorite horror movie. It's such a shame they cut all the spicy stuff out though.
Really?
What was cut from the final result ?
@@jetpilledmyron2056 a lot of the scenes. Look wiki article about the film.
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.
Always enjoy your topics, subbed 🤙
and this is why you never forget to turn the Gellar field on lads, the Emperor protects.
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
NICE VID!
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!~'
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.
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
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.
So underrated when it came out, now it's one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.❤
Imagine in that scene when Justin aw 3 rings get aligned and when light emerge manifestation of Khorne exit the core
This movie is the GOAT of lovecraftian horror movies. No movie does this genre well. EH was perfect from concept to execution. The only other two I'd nominate are "the thing" -1980(?) And "the void"
Says "the ship is the protagonist" then immediately follows it up with "or you could say our villain"... Good video though, love Event Horizon. Slept with the lights on for a week after seeing it in theaters.
19:53 Khorne? No the Event Horizon was taken by Slaanesh. The director needed to hire adult film stars for the hell scenes.
Way more shine on that alt movie poster. That is really amazing.
This was a terrifying movie.
This is what inspired dead space
They should make a prequel for this showing what the event horizon went through
I watched it with my wife ten years ago, and she was afraid to go to the bathroom this night... One of my favorites of all time, because of the concepts you are discussing here very well.
Never fall asleep on this movie while it’s still playing.
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.
Who wrote this? It sounds like a Japanese to English google trabslation...
Great job with the video keep up the dope content 👌 👏
This movie gave me the creeps! Bought the DVD!!!
Saw in theatres with my Dad. It was so good, we saw it twice, then rented it when it came out at Crown Video. Supposedly, there was a significant amount of extra footage that was cut for time, unfortunately, it's been either lost or destroyed.
Imo, the creator was inspired by both "Alien" (H.R. Giger-esque ship), and "Hellraiser" (The "Core", Mutilation, "Hell" dimension).
I’m thinking entering through airlock 13 probably wasn’t the best idea.
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
Event Horizon is basically the last hour of Hellraiser 4 with some minor rewrites
One of the most terrifying movies I have ever seen. It is one of those that I still would not watch alone in a dark room after sun is set. It is not the gore or special effects that unnerves me most but rather the spirit of corruption and malign thinking taking root inside of man.
Something about it feels too real , as if it was only a thin layer away from us. It could be said that the current age of confusion , gender disorders and moral indifference, is the forerunner for that creeping insidious evil.
Well put
"we're leaving" the best line in the whole movie.
This was one of my favorites as a teen. Need to rewatch it. Such a great time to rewatch classics, as now we can get 1080p and 2160p scans from film movies. 2160p is quite close to projection quality already.
Event Horizon needs to be linked with Hellraiser.
"You entered our dimension and we came."
Event Horizon was Lovecraftian in influence while War Hammer was built by pillaging Moorecock.
Thought I was having a stroke listening to the narrator
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
Hold your breath and hold as long as you can and then imagine that for Eternity and imagine that on top of any other pain on top of any other pain for Eternity. That's the Beginning of Hell.
I kinda wish they would do a prequel showing what happened when it first disappeared
I LOVE EVENT HORIZON SO SO MUCH💜💜
