Watch event horizon online12/18/2023 ![]() That almost always encourages me not to see a film, as very few people seem to understand the complexities of my taste, and so they assume that I will want to be watching Troma films or other intentionally and ironically crappy movies. In the many years that followed, Event Horizon was off my radar and forgotten about, even though from time to time someone would tell me I should see it. Heck, I don’t think I knew a thing about it back then, because I didn’t even have a TV at the time where I could see important commercials informing of the virtues of films like Event Horizon, B*A*P*S, Kull the Conqueror, or any of the other fine films released that year. Whatever the reason, I didn’t see many movies that year, and Event Horizon was among the ones I didn’t see. Hell, I was pretty much broke in 2007, but I’d learned to stretch a dollar in those ten years. But Teleport City has, in a way, become a curious place for dragging my own horrible secrets into the light for all to see, and on the scale of shameful secrets, “took a date to see Mortal Kombat II: Annihilation” is much worse than “burning passion for Catalina Larranaga” or even “took a date to see Wicked City.” It’s probably not worse than, “invited a girl over, cooked her a crappy dinner, then made her watch Black Devil Doll from Hell,” but it’s pretty close.

I think, however, in 1997, I saw maybe three film the entire year, and that was when I went out on dates with a lovely Southern belle. ![]() ![]() I mean, it’s a gory film about a spooky spaceship. I didn’t see Event Horizon when it was released. And now that I’ve finished the first paragraph, I still have no idea, so with any luck, something will pop up as I stumble along. But upon watching Event Horizon, I was left with a distinct lack of ideas when it came to thinking about how I might approach writing about this film with some degree of originality. In some cases, I can come up with something - some tiny, meaningless tidbit that is a throwaway line in a movie that then allows me to write endlessly on some idiotic and obscure point. Under such circumstances, it’s hard to imagine what i might have to add that is new. No, the reason isn’t the content, but rather, that fact that this is one of those movies that already has a lot of words spent on it from a variety of sources both in the mainstream and in the realm of cult film fandom. ![]() Haunted spaceships and Sam Neill ripping out his own eyeballs is right up my alley. ![]() It’s not that Event Horizon isn’t the kind of movie I would write about. ![]()
