Torture Cinema #79: Event Horizon (1997)

Singularities, Cenobites, and Gothic cathedrals, oh my! Jen, Paul, David, and Rachel get together to review the film that refused to stay buried in a Transylvanian Salt Mine. They discuss (or rather, David schools everyone) how Event Horizon is a stealth Warhammer 40k fanfic film, the brilliance of a supernatural horror in space, the failed potential of a pretty cool speculative concept, how the film portrays surprisingly good representation given when it was made, but how, sadly, it has some of the most inconsistent science ever seen in a science fiction film (and our last film was Lawnmower Man, for goodness sake). All this and more await you in the Overlook hotel IN SPACE!!!

We hope you enjoy the episode!
