And not that impressed to be honest. It built the tension up well in a couple of areas but on the whole it could have been much nastier than it actually was.

Nowhere near as gory as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre re-make I thought.

Great premise that could have been executed a little better I thought.

Still enjoyed it though.

I quite liked it that the 'gore' level was kept toned down.

It's a decent enough movie I thought.

I thought it was a good movie. One of the best 'Horror' offerings of the last decade+...

It wasn't so much messy as scary, as it was all psychological, I thought.

Agreed. Added to the fact that it was too short. They could have drawn out the mind s a bit more. Something should have been made of that swirling corridor too. Loads of potential for a gruesome death there.

I don't normally get scared by movies, but this one really got at me. It could have had more depth to it as it was all a bit linear but not bad all the same. I'd watch it again just to scare myself...!

Did you know that the set for event horizon was based on Notre Dame cathedral?

I thought I recognised the large rotating spikey ball, blood splattered walls and the lack of gravity.

This was a great movie, but the ending was a little flawed and not scary enough to go with the rest of the stretched out dreamy bits...

Two movies I've seen just recently, highly recommended!

Hostel (not so gory, but well executed, next time you go off looking for punani, beware!)

The Cello (korean) - Chilling along the lines of that hollywood remake of the jap horror oldies.

srsly, They took drawings of the designs of arches and pillars from inside Notre Dame and used them to make features in the set to make it more eerie

Anyone notice the Omega Speedmaster floating around the Event Horizon at the begining?

Much better at pictures though. The hugeness makes it a LOT scarier!

Loved EH thought it was fantastic. The scariest film I've seen for a while though was this:

www.imdb.com/title/tt0283632/

Not the biggest budget film but the stuff of nightmares. Horrible but not in a blood and gore way, just scary!

Not a horror flick, but has the scariest wierdo on film! 'Dead mans Shoes'! The main psycho is just so damned normal, it's scary!

Best film of 2005 by an absolute mile.

Considine is an utter gem in that film.
