Lovecraftian horror, deep-space isolation and visions of Hell run through Event Horizon, a brutal sci-fi nightmare that takes the familiar idea of a lost spaceship and pushes it somewhere far stranger.

In 2047, a distress signal is received from the Event Horizon, a starship that vanished during its maiden voyage. A rescue crew is sent to investigate, only to discover that its experimental gravity drive may have taken the ship far beyond the limits of known space and brought something back with it.
Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson, Event Horizon combines the industrial terror of Alien with cosmic horror, extreme violence and some of the most striking production design of the 1990s. Its vast gothic interiors, spiked corridors and swirling gravitational drive transform the ship into something closer to a cathedral built in Hell.
Dismissed by critics and unsuccessful at the box office, the film has since become a cult favourite, celebrated for its atmosphere, practical effects, uncompromising gore and the unforgettable sight of Sam Neill in full evil-scientist mode.
