Logan M The critics are on crack. This is a Top 5 space movie for me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Pedro R A gem of a sci fi romp that mixed horror with spacefaring in a new and exciting way, never quite taking itself seriously enough to be campy while also maintaining a level of tension throughout. It certainly isn’t for everyone, but those who appreciate the gratuitously gory highs of Doom and Dead Space owe it to themselves to see the tome from whence it came. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Audience Member Event Horizon (1997) is a chilling gem of space horror that holds up remarkably for its time. The film's eerie atmosphere and unsettling narrative dive deep into cosmic dread, blending psychological terror with sci-fi brilliance. The acting, led by Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, is gripping, delivering raw emotion and intensity that amplify the horror. The CGI, groundbreaking for 1997, creates a hauntingly vivid depiction of the cursed spaceship and its otherworldly terrors. From its bold premise to its unsettling visuals, Event Horizon remains a standout, delivering a nightmarish journey that lingers long after the credits roll.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Marco L (CASTELLANO) A veces ocurre: ves el tráiler, lees de qué va, suena la música… y sabes que esa película va a quedarse contigo para siempre. Eso me pasó con Horizonte Final, una de esas experiencias que te marcan. Terror, ciencia ficción, una atmósfera opresiva y una banda sonora que todavía me pone los pelos de punta. La vi en el verano del 98 y, desde entonces, está fija en mi top 5 de películas favoritas de todos los tiempos. La premisa ya era potente: una nave que reaparece tras años perdida en un punto remoto del espacio… y que ha traído algo de vuelta. Lo que parecía una aventura de rescate se convierte pronto en una pesadilla espacial donde la lógica se tambalea y el horror va calando poco a poco. No necesita monstruos babosos ni sobresaltos baratos: aquí el miedo es más psicológico, más angustioso, más oscuro. Sí, puede que el tramo final sea algo más efectista o que algunas decisiones narrativas chirríen con el tiempo. Pero me da igual. Porque pocas películas han conseguido esa mezcla tan adictiva de ciencia ficción con terror puro, ese descenso al infierno mental con una estética tecno-gótica inolvidable. Las imágenes se te quedan grabadas, los gritos también, y el desconcierto… ese, incluso más. Lo que Horizonte Final logra —a pesar de sus detractores— es crear un universo propio, uno donde no importa tanto lo verosímil como lo que te hace sentir. Y eso, para mí, vale más que mil efectos especiales. Una auténtica joya maldita. (ENGLISH) Sometimes it happens: you watch the trailer, read what it's about, the music hits... and you just know that movie is going to stay with you forever. That’s what happened to me with Event Horizon, one of those experiences that leave a mark. Horror, science fiction, a suffocating atmosphere, and a soundtrack that still gives me chills. I saw it in the summer of '98 and since then, it’s been fixed in my top 5 favorite films of all time. The premise was already powerful: a ship that reappears years after going missing in a remote point of space... and it's brought something back. What seemed like a rescue mission quickly turns into a space nightmare where logic crumbles and horror seeps in little by little. It doesn't rely on gooey monsters or cheap jump scares — here, the fear is more psychological, more suffocating, darker. Sure, the final stretch may be a bit more flashy, and some narrative decisions might not age perfectly. But I don’t care. Because few films have achieved that addictive mix of science fiction and pure horror — that descent into mental hell with an unforgettable techno-gothic aesthetic. The images stay with you, the screams too, and the unease... even more so. What Event Horizon accomplishes —despite its detractors— is to create its own universe, one where plausibility doesn’t matter as much as what it makes you feel. And for me, that’s worth more than a thousand special effects. A truly cursed gem. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
