Event Horizon (1997), directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, is infamous as one of the strangest sci-fi horror films of the ’90s. On paper, it’s brilliant: a rescue crew boards a spaceship that vanished for seven years after testing an experimental gravity drive only to discover it opened a portal to something like Hell itself. In practice, it’s a tonal mess with cheesy dialogue, stolen visuals, and a reputation that’s only grown in cult status over time.
In this episode, Richard Lewis, MonteCristo, and Thorin revisit Event Horizon more than 25 years later. They break down Sam Neill’s gleefully unhinged performance, the film’s derivative borrowings from Aliens, The Shining, and Solaris, and why the first half works before collapsing into gore and nonsense. They also debate whether a lost director’s cut could have salvaged the film — and why the concept still holds incredible potential for a remake or TV series.
