    When I was younger I watched "Event Horizon". To this day I cannot watch that movie, its terrible.

      I watched this for the first time a few months ago. I had NO idea that is was a horror movie, I thought it was just gonna be a sci-fi.

        What did you think?

          Ultimately I liked it. But while I was watching I was like, "What? What's going on? What's happening? OH GOD! NO!"

            I felt the exact same way, the damn movie was not labeled as horror!

      Agreed. I thought it was going to be a science fiction flick, and then they turned it into a horror movie. The guy suspended on multiple hooks disturbed me more than anything else.

      This film is arguably the quintessential Sci-Fi-Horror movie.

      Also, it stands perfectly fine on both the Sci-Fi front and the Horror one. Great film!

      If you are into the warhammer 40k franchise, rewatch the movie and imagine that it is a depiction of the humanity's first encounter with the Warp.

      It is better that way.

      Same here. Disturbing disturbing movie... I watched it four the soundtrack (Orbital) and got more than I had bargained for

      Certainly one of the scariest movies I've ever watched. Watched it the first time by myself.... at 2 am.

      This was playing on TV while I was was home alone and WAY too young to watch it. I couldn't sleep for days.
