EVENT HORIZON (1997) | Cinema Shock Roulette

Cinema Shock

As we continue our Cinema Shock Roulette Extravaganza, our next randomly-selected film is Paul W.S. Anderson's 1997 sci-fi horror flick EVENT HORIZON!

In this episode, we take a look at the best film of Anderson's career (it's a low bar, folks) and track its tumultuous journey to the big screen, from the earliest versions of its ALIEN-inspired script through the controversial release of an edit of the film that suffered due to a rushed post-production schedule. Did you ever want to know everything there is to know about EVENT HORIZON? Well, you've come to the right place!

In 2047, a group of astronauts are sent to investigate and salvage the starship Event Horizon which disappeared mysteriously 7 years before on its maiden voyage. However, it soon becomes evident that something sinister resides in its corridors, and that the horrors that befell the Event Horizon's previous journey are still present.

Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy.
