Event Horizon (1997)
The Event Horizon, an experimental space ship created by scientist Sam Neil, missing for seven years, has just been located so a salvage ship crewed by Laurence Fishburne, Joely Richardson, Kathleen Quinlan and more, take Neil along in an attempt to retrieve it. However it soon becomes apparent that dark forces are at work aboard the Event Horizon.
A fine science fiction horror film from the usually maligned Paul W.S. Anderson. It's a classy cast who make this so much more than a typical sci-fi B-movie, as do the magnificently designed sets. Whilst some gruesome visions of hellish horror ensure the film both remains in the memory and has proven itself a cult classic in the near thirty years since it first scarred cinema audiences.
The now deleted special edition UK Blu-ray looks and sounds awesome.
