Tookey's Review

Released:	1997

Genre:	HORROR SCIENCE FICTION THRILLER

Origin:	US

Length:	97

In 2047, a rescue mission discovers alien life on a deep space research vessel named Event Horizon.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey

The reason to see this is the outstandingly creepy production design by Joseph Bennett and terrific visual effects supervised by Richard Yuricich. This is a visually stylish but empty sci-fi horror flick, clearly indebted for many of its ideas to Tarkovsky’s Solaris and Ridley Scott’s Alien. As so often, gruesomeness takes the place of suspense. Characterisation is minimal.
