Event Horizon

1997 Paul W. S. Anderson 96 MIN

In 2047, a group of astronauts are sent to investigate and salvage the starship Event Horizon which disappeared mysteriously seven years before on its maiden voyage. However, it soon becomes evident that something sinister resides in its corridors.

HORROR CENTRALITY
85 /100

Event Horizon is widely framed as a sci-fi horror where the central experience is fear, dread, and disturbing revelations aboard a haunted starship; the horror elements are essential to the film's identity, and removing them would fundamentally change the experience, even though it operates within a sci-fi framework.
