The Horror Thread [Archived] Movie • Page 50

completely agree. i liked the theme and cohesiveness of each short but overall, it fell short for me. it could have been great though. the accident was brutal though.

 

Honestly, I thought the last two bits were okay (particularly "Jailbreak") but the first two really, really fell short for me and kind of tainted the pacing and tone of the film right from the start. They were both really unfocused to the point that they were incoherent at times, and not in a fun, "keeping things vague" kind of way.

 

Still holds up

 

You should watch Robert then.

 

The extended scenes of "hell" have come online finally.

 

were they not on the DVD? The one I got came out like 10 years ago and I don't remember if I saw any deleted scenes

 

I bought a used special edition DVD of Event Horizon. Need to rewatch it

 

No way. They were supposedly "lost" for a long time but turned up somehow.

Take a Look at the Event Horizon You Didn't See - Dread Central

 

I remember seeing Event Horizon in theaters and those scenes of hell were some of the most fucked up scenes I've ever seen at 13 years old.

 

i remember it being taglined as like the scariest movie ever when i was way younger

 

It's my favorite sci-fi/horror movie because it's one of the few that is straight up either or. Alien is great, don't get me wrong, but different type of horror.

 

These are horrifying, holy shit

 

ive seen it but its been quite a while so i echo everyone when i say i need to rewatch it

 

Even what was shown on the screen was pretty bad, but these are just like wtf haha.

 

I watched it with my roommate last semester on a rainy day (he'd never seen it) and it definitely holds up imo.

 

Yea, a lot of those are quick flashes of what's in the movie. I remember I would pause it on my dvd player just to see parts of the blood orgy. I thought it was going to be actual scenes.

 

Fishborn or however you spell it gets on my nerves; he's an overactor big time.

 

why why why did paul ws anderson turn to adaptations after this

 

I have to look, but there is an extended video of those scenes.

EDIT: Found em.

Event Horizon (Unreleased 130 Minute Cut)

 

I watched Event Horizon not long after Alien and thought it was very similar on first watch

Europa Report was a good sci-fi horror too

 

Same with Sunshine.

 

I've somehow never seen Event Horizon. Moving it to the top of my list now.

 

Wow, yea you need to.

 

Yup same here. I saw it when I was 11 or 12 with my brother on HBO...the clips of "hell" were nailed into my brain.

Alien is very much a thriller, fear of the unknown sci-fi horror while Event Horizon felt like Hellraiser in space. Each were amazing for their own respective reasons.

Sunshine was one that, after a single viewing, I could not understand all the hype. I need to re-watch.

 

The sci-fi aspect of Sunshine is what pulled me in, and I like the idea of the plot.
