43. Event Horizon (HBO Max)

Would you look at that. It's the guy who made the Resident Evil movies and his only genuinely good movie he's ever directed.

Event Horizon is about a group of astronauts who go to seek out a ship that something awful has happened on, and now something awful is happening to all of them.

So I kinda love this movie. I'm not a huge space horror guy, but there's just a lot in this movie that works so damn well. First, the ship is a god damn nightmare to witness in and of itself. The visuals on this thing are dreadful, and just looking at that alone is a horror. Second, the other horrifying visuals they have in this movie are tremendous too. It borders on being too edgy, but honestly it all works really well.

The story itself is fine. It does exactly what it needs to do, and I feel like it might have been able to do a little bit more? Also, I don't love the Cooper character that much. He's kind of always talking to himself and breaking the mood in some shitty way. But that's pretty much where my complaints end.

I just enjoy this movie for what it is. A slice into some nightmare ship where people are just trying to survive. It's really good for what it is, and effective.

Rating: 8/10
