Movie Barf: Event Horizon + Discussion with Gare Scare
A cult sci-fi horror that launched Paul W. S. Anderson's prolific career as a master of campy blockbusters, introducing audiences to entirely new dimensions of terror. The pioneering research spacecraft Event Horizon vanished during its first journey beyond the boundaries of known space. Seven years later, it suddenly reappears, and a rescue team led by Captain Miller, accompanied by the ship's original designer, sets out to board it. But they soon discover firsthand that Event Horizon has returned from an expedition into a realm of spacetime that no human was ever meant to enter.
Through striking camera compositions and rapid editing, the director - who would later build his career around the Resident Evil franchise - transforms the limited resources of a low-budget film into an absorbing horror journey through a cosmic ark. He thus builds on the tradition of Lovecraftian evil that far transcends ordinary humanity, merging it with elements of Clive Barker's grotesquely physical horrors.
