- Totally not Alien at all. Whoever says that needs their head examined.

- The images stay with you long after you're done watching it.

- For christ's sakes, there's a fucking scene where people are eating each other, one guy slams his fist down another person's throat, and then another guy pulls his own eyes out and holds them in his hands up to the camera as if he's "looking" at us. If that scene isn't horror, I don't know what is.
Event Horizon is pretty indicative of most of Paul W Andersons stuff, great ideas, sometimes great actors, even great special effects, yet somehow, he manages to make them not work. I love half the actors in Event Horizon, and yet i didnt feel a thing for any of the characters. He tried to make me care, but just couldnt pull it off.
