Plot: In this eerie science-fiction ghost story, an astrophysicist (Sam Neill), haunted by the memory of his wife's suicide, joins a rescue mission to salvage his life's work: the Event Horizon, a prototype spacecraft capable of faster-than-light travel that has been missing for seven years.

 Director Anderson keeps this one moving and after a slow start it becomes one of the best fright flicks of the year which is thanks to an interesting enough script, a strong cast and some killer sequences and effects. ...

The story plods along a little too slowly, however, ranking this film under the first three "Hellraiser" films—from which it borrows heavily. Of course, it isn't as good as the first two "Alien" films either, but it's certainly worth a rental.-- (eSplatter.com)
Well we all love this movie. Nothing besides John Carpenter's The Thing has there ever been such a great combination of Sci-Fi and Horror.  --Zaero (Bloody-Disgusting.com)

I loved this flick but my fellow reviewer Slicer- Dicer really disliked it so I guess you'll have to make your own mind up about this one. Give it a shot if you still haven't seen it, maybe you'll be as pleasantly surprised as me.  --AnthroFred/Slicer-Dicer (SlasherPool)
