A covert rescue mission is green lighted to rendezvous with the previously lost in space starship, Event Horizon, which has mysteriously reappeared near the planet Neptune. The pursuit is on to find out just where the massive ship has been spending its previous 7 years.

The ensuing journey uncovers a rather unpleasant foray into a world of unimaginable depravity. Having navigated a blackhole to use as a portal to a distant world has propelled the Event Horizon into a virtual living Hell In Space. The Event Horizon crew was sacrificed. Will the crew of the Lewis and Clark rescue vehicle assume the same fate?

Effective space shocker that doesn’t skimp on the horror elements. Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne provide a good adversarial duo. I know some of the special effects appear a little clunky as this was made in the days before full on CGI were integrated into Cinema. Try not to laugh and look past these as this film more than delivers on the chills.
