Event Horizon

i can still vividly picture moments from that movie decades later

I was too young when I first saw this too. (I was in my 20s)

I'm 50 and I'm still too young. That movie gives me the heebie jeebies every time, though Laurence Fishburne is the most cool-headed, logical character in any horror movie I've ever seen.

One of my dad's favorite movies. We would run through the den on the way to kitchen whenever he had it on. Definitely gave me nightmares at age 10 and for years afterwards.

Hell yeah brother

Great film, other than the weird trope of "they speak Latin in hell for some unexplained reason", which always bugs me

[โ€“] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That guy spoke Latin before he went to Hell. You can hear him using it to make a pronouncement on the log just before things went bad.

Ah, had forgotten that. Plus, it's never confirmed the ship has literally been to hell - just someplace weird, awful and magical.

The scene where one guy shoves his whole forearm down his own throat is... unforgettable.

[โ€“] NKBTN@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funnily enough, I've forgotten it. Seen the film 2 or 3 times, too!

[โ€“] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That was cut from some versions of the movie.

As someone who's never seen it, I feel like I need to watch it now.
