the most MESSED UP movie I've ever watched.. *Event Horizon* Reaction! 

Whoever wrote the script and the character Miller (Laurence Fishburne) was tired of people in charge in horror movies making stupid decisions. He's making all the right judgements throughout; "Don't go near that!" "Close that down." "We're getting out of here." etc.

One of the creepiest things the ship does is when, after the young guy has pushed the button to force the airlock open in 30 seconds, it all of a sudden just lets him regain his sanity long enough to realize what's about to happen. So messed up!

I love how rational the decisions of the crew are in this movie, they don't die from ineptitude they die because a saboteur REALLY wants to go to hell

"The 90's were built different." 🤣

19:26 the most rational decision after witnessing such atrocities "we're leaving"

There was a FX mistake during shooting that helped make this movie a classic. The ships were models, but the skies were digital, so the 2 departments were out of touch with each other and the VFX team didn't know the ship was supposed to be in a cloudy atmosphere. By the time they caught it, the trailers had already been sent out. So all the commercials & trailers had the Event Horizon in space above Neptune; no finished FX shots were in it. So everybody who went to see it thought this was a generic "haunted spaceship" movie, but with blood and boobs (this was the era when almost all movies were PG-13). *We had absolutely NO idea we were getting HELLRAISER in space.* By the time we figured it out, it had left theaters with disappointing sales. But it became a runaway hit on home video and remains one of Paramount's all-time bestselling titles. I saw this in theaters with like, 3 other people opening weekend. I walked out of the theater into a blinding blue sky afternoon and that was a jarring contrast to say the least. It stayed in my head for a few days before I leveled back out.

Ah yes, the first movie set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe - mankind’s first encounter with the warp!

The song during the credits is The Prodigy - Funky Sh!t

I love her positive attitude when she sees the ship and talking about the rocks, while I know how quickly that positivity will change. This is one of the few movies that freaks me out.

Thank God for uncles who would bring children to the theater to see this.

Overlooked when it came out, but later became a cult movie to many. It's especially known among warhammer 40k fans since it's premise is inspirered by that universe. Saw it as a kid and thought it was "just" a sci fi movie. It messed me up so much I didn't watch it again for almost 15 years

I'll never forget the night I first saw this movie. A buddy of mine rented it because he thought it looked interesting so we got blazed, drank some of his homemade whiskey, turned out the lights and threw it on. Bad ideas all around... lol

Remember taking my date to see this, our town only had a 1 screen cinema, we did not know what we were in for, she was still shaking 2 hours later, best 1st watch horror movie I've seen!!

Another great horror film with Sam Neil is "In the Mouth of Madness" I highly recommend that one.

Says "This Mortal Kombat music". Funnily enough it's actually directed by the guy who directed the OG Mortal Kombat movie. Fantastic reaction, I love this horror movie

My favourite horror movie with the smartest horror protagonist ever, because he said what they should all say, "We're leaving." Event Horizon is the only film I've watched that genuinely unsettled me, without cheap jumpscares or the standard horror tropes that most films overuse now. Just the setting is creepy, and was actually so in real life too. The actors refused to be on the set when they didn't need to be because they all found it unsettling. Also fun fact, the infamous log scene was apparently longer and more explicit originally, but they cut some of it to allow the movie to be screened, and sadly the deleted footage was lost so those removed bits are gone forever.

I watch this movie as a fully grown adult, when my buddies dropped me off at home, I told them to wait in the car until I got in my house and turned on all the lights.

"We're leaving." That was a great line delivery.

This movie by many is considered a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer 40K universe. "Hell" was the Warp and the Chaos gods influenced the minds of the crew. The clue was: "A dimension of pure chaos" which the Warp is in WH40K.

6:28 "It sounds like a portal ripped into hell" Who wants to tell her?

"Why does this entire place look like a torture chamber? WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SPIKES??"

The ending song is Funky Sh*t by The Prodigy off of their The Fat of the Land album. It's an amazing album.

19:34 This is like the smartest idea ever proposed in horror/sci-fi movie history. I remember going to see this in the theater, and everyone was both laughing, and cheering. to hell with "understanding the ship," you're getting off it!!! NOW!!! ....then, you're blowing it up!!

Crazy how a inanimate object becomes a entity of demons. A super underrated film

This movie is one of my favorites of all time! A haunted house movie set in space! Overlooked in its day ('97) but considered a classic of sci-fi/horror today. Another great overlooked film from the same year is THE RELIC. It's a great monster on the loose movie, and it's set in a huge, creepy museum in Chicago. Both films make a great double feature of nightmares!! Great reaction, V!!! ✌️❤️

This IS a psychological thriller. It’s a Lovecraftian horror film.

"Ghost Ship" (2002) is a similar supernatural horror. And then there is also "Thirteen Ghosts" (2001).

Event Horizon: "I need crew." Also Event Horizon: "I am gonna torture everyone on board for shits and giggles."

One of my all time favourites. 'Where we're going, we won't need eyes'.

Sam Neill did a few really bizarre films, this one and "Into The Mouth of Madness". Both of them are genuinely bizarre. This film pushes the limit as to what was allowed for a Rated R film. I can only imagine what the writers of this film must imagine on a daily basis for them to come up with something like this. I can also respect the actors for their roles in this film because I can only imagine that the time spent in the makeup chair everyday was substantial. That's dedication to your craft right there. I'm glad you saw this film, if for not other reason than to be able to use it as a gauge of how extreme other films you watch are.

I would never expect to see Event Horizon on here but it just made my DAY!! I'm not reall usually fond of horrors and jumpscares but I love this movie, it's mysterious and kinda feels like the game franchise Dead Space. It's like the closest to a "Dead Space movie" we've gotten for now.

Oh, man! Who tricked poor Vee into watching this?? lol

The R-rated reboot of Disney's _The_ _Black_ _Hole_ . 😂

The interior secrets of black holes are guarded by a one-way light-trapping boundary called the event horizon.

smartest captain ever *Sees Hell Screaming video* "We're Leaving!"

Man, I can't believe you watched this one. I saw this in theaters. This movie creeped me out 😂😂😂Awesome show there, ma'am, and good luck sleeping tonight. I had nightmares after seeing it 😂😂😂

I remember this is theaters . My dad was a marine and I grew up on so much horror and gore… no regrets. Just a spooky place to be .also in most operations like most jobs, gets certain agreements

Hey @VKunia Did you know the D.J. character (the rescue ship doctor) is Lucius Malfoy ;)

The extremely rare ocation of mixing the supernatural with sci-fi, its why I love this movie And yes we know which scene stuck with you and you can't ever unsee 😂

17:15 - "Wouldn't he explode?" - No, that's a myth. However, if he tried to hold his breath, the lack of pressure would cause his lungs to rupture. BTW, is it just me, or does Cooper (Richard T. Jones) sound pretty much identical to Denzel Washington? The first time I saw this, I thought it WAS Denzel Washington.

The music from the end credits is from the band 'Prodigy' you may know some of their tracks. Also, this was the first horror movie I watched when I was 11 years old, I had nightmares for 2 weeks straight.

This is the ammended version. The original version was shown for rating and rejected due to it's graphic nature. The one copy of the original, stored on film, was stored in a repurposed Transylvanian salt mine. Due to an improperly sealed container the film degraded beyond uesfulness. The original version has and will only be seen by the people who made it and the committee resposible for the rating system.

It always amazes me how good this film looks... It's like, everything from the cinematography, to the set design, lighting, color grading, and special effects (both practical and CG) somehow look really polished and almost ahead of its time to me.

Fun fact: The original "directors" cut of this was FORTY MINUTES longer but due to initial test audience reaction that it was just too extreme the studio ordered such extensive cuts that many consider severely damaged the movie. Many of the flash clips shown are from the original much longer cut, which has now been lost and is of legendary status. Those who worked on the set said that it was so gruelling and graphic it was probably illegal then and definitely illegal now. Cast members included sex workers and actors with limbs missing to be able to make it as graphic as possible. A few years ago Amazon funded the development of a TV series remake so we will wait and see what rhat brings!

The director did an interview where they stated that a longer version of the "Blood Orgy" scene existed. He said it was the preferred version and ideally they'd do a directors cut with it. However the original film reels were damaged in storage and the extended scene lost forever. C'est la Vie... They talk about it in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bdvMjGeqvSE.html

By far the best movie from Paul WS Anderson (mostly infamous for the Resident evil movie franchise) Good story, solid cast and incredible set design (the shape of the Event horizon prow inspired the helmet for the main character in the Dead space franchise)

Man what a creepy movie. Hard to believe it bombed when it came out. For me, it had kind of a Cronenberg feel with the body horror element. I mean the guy going into space unprotected, poor DJ, and try watching that video message they unscrambled in slow-mo hi-def. Holy hell! Sam Neill was in another weird movie around this time called "In The Mouth of Madness" that I recommend.

I was in the military when this came out. We watched this back-to-back with Sphere. Yeah. 😱

So...Morpheus, Dr.Grant and Lucius Malfoy walk into a derelict spaceship...

This was the last film shot on the largest sound stage in England. I love how large these sets are, it gives so much to the general sense of paranoia and dread. Just some really solid use of set design and what’s out of frame. I should note that this movie was marketed as a sci-fi mystery and not a straight up horror film.

Omg, confusing Event Horizon with Deepwater Horizon is hysterical. That's like mixing up flip cup with Two Girls One Cup, and being like, 'Ya'll. SO not the dame thing!'

Event Horizon, The Thing (82) and Alien (79) - my favorite atmospheric and suspenseful sci fi horrors.

"They know not to do this again". Well, until the Gellar field is invented.

CLASSIC!! 🤓😆 Who doesn't love a Haunted house in Space? 👍🏽 I got so Hyped bout this movie, cause I bask in all the parallels in this to HellRaiser/Warhammer40K and the esthetics 😈🤘🏽🤓😋

Nowhere near the most messed-up movie ever made, but pretty extreme. - and this is the studio-mandate cut version which has lost around 30 minutes. It also contains, in my mind, one of the best explosions on film: using models of the ships made of flexible materials, so they tear apart like large ships, not like small plastic models...

Laurence Fishbourne unceremoniously asserting 'We're leaving' upon watching that messed up clip of the Event Horizon crew tearing each other limb from limb had me in hysterics, even though it creeped the hell outta me. BTW Critical Drinker interviewed one of the people who took part in that horrifying scene, and she said it was way, way worse but the footage was cut and was subsequently lost. It'll never see the light of day.

This movie was super scary, and I'm I love horror movies! This was way more scary than some of the slashers. Crazy.

I remember watching this movie when it came out in the theatres when I was 19. Those images and sounds where so burned in my memory I would see the after images and hear the Latin hours later when I would close my eyes. Took me a couple of days of watching nice and cute things to override my brain of the horror.

‘Who was the architect?’ Sam Neill (Dr. Weir) designed the whole ship. It’s his child. I built a guitar of my own, and I know how I feel about that; if I’d built something with the power of this ship, I’d be very possessive, too.

The three best movies with Sam Neill - "Event Horizon" - "In The Mouth Of Madness" - "The Hunt For Red October".

6:25 and thats why you dont turn off the gellar field. the voices will get you. also the demon will eat your eye balls. 8:05 demons before humanity knew of demons. 9:30 be chaos be spiky

I'm pretty sure "Event Horizon: no, it's not about an oil rig" was going to be the original title for the film.

That scary tunnel to the gravity drive is the like the insane chomping, slashing tunnel in Galaxy Quest.

"Sunshine" is kinda similar to this one in terms of vibe, but not as gory. Recommend it, especially if you like Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michelle Yeo (from Everything Everywhere All at Once) or Rose Byrn (from X-Men First Class and others)

You do know there is a lost version, uncut, and that "hell video" sequence was shot with porn stars and amputees over a night with a second crew. Also, when the Captain says "We are leaving" he just echoes all of us.

Saw at the theater! Classic , the mid to late 90s was a blast for sci-fi movies at the theater

Thinking ghost ship from 2002 would be a good follow up to this movie. That or the movie Virus from 1999.

Your hair looks GORGEOUS omg😩✨ I also saw this wayyy too young with older cousins

7:39 your next scary movie should be Ghost Ship

I'm pretty sure this movie traumatized me when I saw it in theaters as a teen...😅 A creepy thing about the movie is there was a large amount that was cut from the movie due to being too, uh, much...including scenes of some kind of sadistic orgy. The scenes were never released in a director's cut and only existed on the physical film and never digitized. Years later they found that the original film had been destroyed due to improper storage causing the film to decay taking with it the even more messed up stuff that only the cast and crew got to see any of. I don't know why but this has always struck me as being intensely eerie.

“This ship is fucked” made me laugh so hard in the theatre.

28:32 Funny she mentioned Mortal Kombat music. The director literally did the Mortal Kombat movie just before this one.

A good horror movie is either a slasher or a creeper. This is an excellent creeper.

I remember having this on VHS, and taking it to my A/V class in high school, and watching the Captain's Log sequence frame by frame. I have not been the same since. Still a top five movie for me.

I feel like you got conned into watching a horror film without knowing it's a horror film. You've not experienced Event Horizon until you've watched it while camped out on the couch with the flu slipping in and out of sleep and fever dreams. 😬

4:20 I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this or not, but right at the mentioned time stamp you see some kind of control panel that Claire is sitting in front of. What most people that react to this movie miss (as did I upon first watching this) is that there seems to be a pair of eyes near the top edge. Is that a representation of the entity that has possessed the Event Horizon, looking back at and influencing Dr. Weir? Kind of a creepy little detail 😉

19:21 the most sensible thing uttered in horror film history 😂

" _This ship sucks_ " is my favourite synopsis of this movie. 😂 "The coffee machine is disgusting. And that meeting could've been an email dude."

After the screening apparently, Sam Neil came out of it saying, "That's not the movie we made." Also, they lost 20 to 30 minutes of footage that would have told more about where the ship went. If you want more detail about where the ship went, check out the script and read the last few pages.

As you liked Event horizon you may be interested in *"Lifeforce".* Another in my view 'solid' SF/Suspense/Horror with a twist . Really like the premise and as an extra bonus it has a young *Patrick Stewart.* _(Did he every have a full head of hair!)_

haha. I saw this with my mom and brother in the theater when it came out. I was 12 at the time, and was a big fan of STNG, DS9, and VOY. So was my brother. We thought this was going to be like Star Trek. lol... other people brought their kids and by the end of the movie we were the only ones left in the theater. Mom let us stay till the end, but said she'd have nightmares from it. lol good times.

Me 45 seconds in when she's thinking Deep water Horizon: "OMG, you've got no clue what you're walking into!!! Ready for the ship to go to hell?!?"

The endless line between the edge of a black hole and normal space is an event horizon.

Cooper was awesome. "You want something hot and black inside you? You want some coffee? "😂😂😂😂

If you want 2 more 90s cult classics, check out Virus and Dark City. Virus does the jump scares and dark city carries that Gothic look you see in this film.

Movies like this is why I miss the 90s my childhood

With the clear nods to the Warp and Warhammer 40k, specifically the dark prince of pleasure as many have noted, the film itself has an awesome soundtrack and clips have been used in some AWESOME songs and films!

Creepy fact most people miss: If you look closely at 4:19 when Dr. Weir is looking at his wife reflected in the monitor, there is also a pair of creepy yellow eyes at the top of the screen, staring back at him.

You just watched "The Matrix: Minus One." This was the birth of Morpheus. Where he went, he was teleported back to reality. This was why when people went to this other "dimension", they couldn't handle the reality and that's why they went mad.

I saw this in theaters when it originally came out. I still had 3/4 of my soda left when it was over, I couldn't look away! I wish they had released the original cut though. That was over 30 minutes longer and it was all Hell dimension stuff. Like test audiences were physically sick after watching it. The only film reels were lost for decades and by the time they found them, it was beyond salvaging. There is supposed to be a single VHS copy somewhere, but nobody has found it yet.

Hey V, I remember in 1997 when the Sci Fi Channel magazine or an ad in it was promoting this film, got interested and saw it years later a few times. Fear is a real thing, this ship since it literally has been to hell and back and picked up an evil presence. I like this one, hope more reactors would watch it. I do suggest Scanners (1981) it's a cult classic sci fi favorite of mine. Nice reaction. For an old school movie about infection reminiscent of Resident Evil, I suggest Warning Sign (1985) the medical officer from Event Horizon Kathleen Quinlan is in it as a security guard.

Seriously one of those chillers you can pop in anytime with friends for a guaranteed fun ride. Somehow, even with repeat viewings, everyone gets pulled in at all the right times. I'm fine personally with never seeing the bloodier more gruesome unrated cut that was evidently lost permanently in editing, because it still leaves an impression as is. Bonus points go to the Spanish dub released in Central and South America for being rebranded "The Starship of Death." Also, have to love Jason Isaacs for taking the full-sized replica of his strung up, disemboweled corpse after production wrapped and hanging it in his study. What a legend!

So, Jason Isaacs was, according to one interview, really keen on the dummy they made for his dead body: "They made this model of me, this extraordinary latex model of me with every broken vein, every hair, mole, eye colour and stuff… My whole naked body hung up by hooks, gutted from neck to navel with all my organs pulled out - which, by the way, I asked if I could keep and they said 'no' and I went home and said to my wife that they wouldn't let me keep it and she said 'what the f*** did you think we were going to do with it?'." My response would have been, "Rad Halloween decoration, obviously!" 28:41: "I genuinely don't know what I just watched." A solid documentary about humanity's first experiments with Warp drive, before they realized they needed a Gellar Field to protect them from the deleterious effects of Chaos.

Fun Fact: The initial cut of Event Horizon ran at over 2hrs…..why didn’t we get this??? Well, Paramount were banking heavily on a little James Cameron film called Titanic to come out the summer of ‘97, but as Cameron’s production was falling apart, so too did Paramount’s scheduling plans. Thus, with a giant summer blockbuster-shaped hole on their hands - ironically, also about a doomed ship - Paramount asked Paul W.S Anderson to cut the post-production time of Event Horizon from the traditional 10 weeks to a compressed six weeks in order to make an August ‘97 release date. But with Anderson’s production running into its own logistical hurdles, not to mention Anderson’s insistence on directing second-unit footage himself, the editing process began to collide with the photography process, leaving Anderson and editor Martin Hunter only four weeks in the editing bay to try and hastily assemble together a first cut. And this first cut left quite the impression. Paramount began the production by watching dailies, quickly printed footage shot each day to ensure everything’s going well, but when they kept seeing footage they liked, they eventually stopped watching. So Anderson and Hunter’s initial cut, running over two hours, came as a shock to the system. Some of the most startling moments in the film come from the images we see from the initial Event Horizon crew as they destroy themselves as Anderson put it bluntly, they “fuck themselves to death” in a kind of “blood orgy” (they cast adult performers for that sequence) and then from the similar “visions of Hell” jammed into Laurence Fishburne’s brain by a corrupted Sam Neill. Paramount had stopped watching dailies by the time these were constructed by Anderson and his team. And they balked, hard, at the horrific, gruesome, surreal images being foisted upon them. How on earth could this graphic, explicit horror show be a summer blockbuster taking the place of friggin’ Titanic for Paramount? The studio’s revulsion, combined with some displeased test screenings, combined with the relentlessly rushed post-production period led to Anderson and Hunter making the necessary concessions and dramatic chops to result in the 96 minute cut we all know and love today. Sadly, the footage that ended up on the cutting room floor has been lost forever; with even the director just about confirming on the blu ray commentary that it simply doesn’t exist. Would a longer, gorier cut make it more successful? Probably not. A lot of what makes Event Horizon scary, is that not knowing what truly happened to the crew.

Another trippy movie you should watch is In The Mouth Of Madness, also starring Sam Neill.

"Most Messed up movie I've ever watched" H.P. Lovecraft giggles...

The Prodigy - Funky Shit is that last theme song. I love that song. It gets me pumped whenever it comes around in my playlist.

"Wow, that was horrifying. DANCE BREAK!" -90s Audiences

I generally don't ask for horror films but if I were to point out a couple that gave me similar heebie jeebies it was The Ring/The Cloverfield Paradox. Oh, but I would ask for Abigail. I saw it a few days ago and it's as much fun as it is anything else, so it's worth seeing.

I always loved Cpt. Miller. "We're leaving" and "Eff this ship" are some of the most sensible lines ever uttered in a horror movie.
