Now this is sci-fi horror!
The Lewis and Clarke are sent to rescue the Event Horizon, a ship that used a gravity drive but disappeared. However, when the ship came back, it wasn't the same. The crew of the L&C are trying to just survive but Dr Weir has other ideas, and sides with the ship. Time to find out what hell really is.
This was something quite different: a haunted ghost ship, but the ship in this case is a space ship. I'm surprised this isn't more common, but then it's easier to justify other haunted houses/sea ships than space ones. The crew react more normally than others in this scenario, in that they recognise there's some shit going down, but they want to get the hell out... but they can't.
Sam Neill gets to be weird in this, but we also have Lawrence Fishburne, Jason Isaacs, Sean Pertwee, Richard T Jones... and around them is some great sets. And you won't believe the CGI effects, because they are really bad, but whatever. The practical gravity drive is great, and the dressing of the ship's bridge is evocative.
This definitely needs a great commentary track talking about it, but unfortunately...
And you can the School of Movies talking about this, because I asked them to.
