Eventful?

Event Horizon (1997)

Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill star in this British made sci-fi horror film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. A rescue crew is sent out to investigate the return of a previously missing experimental ship in space.

This is nominally a sci-fi film as it happens in space and involves space ships but really this is a standard horror film and follows much the pattern you would expect while forwarding the luddite “do not mess with technology you do not understand” message. There are some eerie visuals and dark scenes but despite being fairly well made and with a good cast there is little to elevate this film above it's average plot and subject matter.

3/5 standard space horror.
