EVENT HORIZON (1997)

PAUL ANDERSON

Plot

It's 2047 and Larry Fishburne, Captain of a search-and-rescue ship, is heading for the outer reaches of space, where the prototype spaceship Event Horizon has reappeared seven years after it mysteriously went missing. Also on board is Dr Weir (Sam Neill), who designed the ill-fated craft and has been tortured by its disappearance ever since. Boarding the craft, it soon becomes obvious from the blood-splattered interior and grisly video recording that the crew didn't simply pop out for a bottle of milk. Pretty soon, the rescue crew themselves are undergoing some very freaky experiences, and the nightmare's just beginning..................A technically superb, tautly directed, psychological sci-fi horror extravaganza. Definitely not for the squeamish!
