comment
A 1997 Sci-Fi Horror movie by Paul W.S. Anderson where astronauts investigate an experimental ship (the eponymous Event Horizon) that disappeared under mysterious circumstances.In the year 2047, a signal from the starship Event Horizon is picked up on Earth. The ship had disappeared without a trace beyond Neptune seven years earlier. The ship has reappeared in a decaying orbit around the planet Neptune, and the rescue ship Lewis and Clark is dispatched to investigate. The ship's crew is commanded by Capt. Miller (Laurence Fishburne) and carries the Event Horizon's designer, Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill).No definitive trace of human life is found; inconclusive sensor readings lead the Lewis and Clark's crew to enter the Event Horizon to search for survivors. Things start to go very wrong very quickly, it appears that someone—or something—is toying with them. Strange noises echo throughout the ship, sensors indicate the presence of life forms even though the vessel is clearly deserted, and what few records the Lewis and Clark's team recover hint that something went terribly wrong... and that's just the beginning. Before long, the question is no longer what became of the Event Horizon, but what has the Event Horizon become?Event Horizon is a Cosmic Horror Story which can be interpreted as an updated H. P. Lovecraft story, a Haunted House movie IN SPACE!, or, as some like to think of it, a very disturbing prequel to the Warhammer 40,000 series.note Specifically, one set at the beginning of M3 (3rd Millennium AD), when humanity was first beginning to expand past Earth and colonize the Sol System (at some point of which they came to learn of the Immaterium's existence). Whatever dimension that the Event Horizon traveled through seems similar in nature to the Warp, and there are many telltale signs of corruption by Chaos.Not to be confused with Moral Event Horizon, Despair Event Horizon, or the term for the region around a black hole from which light can no longer escape (though the eponymous ship is clearly named after it). For the game that was heavily inspired by the film, see Dead Space.

Psychological Torment Zone
 Event Horizon / int_105d50b1
comment
Psychological Torment Zone: The Event Horizon acts as this in general. It makes your standard, everyday Troll look positively tame. It seems to exploit past grief and guilt: Miller's guilt over his crewman's death, Peters' guilt over her son, Weir's guilt over his wife.

Multinational Team
 Event Horizon / int_14848fa3
comment
Multinational Team: The crew of the Lewis And Clark represent three key nations, as evidenced by the flag insignias on their uniforms, though there are a few alterations from the present, due to the film’s future setting; the USA still exists as a nation, and seems to have picked up a few more states as there appear to be more stars on the flag’s blue canton. The British-accented crew members all sport a star-patterned flag reminiscent of the flag of the EU, suggesting that the UK is part of an overall United Europe (ironic in hindsight). Finally, Dr. Weir sports an altered Australian flag, still featuring the constellation of the Southern Cross, but with the Union Flag canton replaced with the flag of the Australian Aboriginal People.

Gone Horribly Wrong: The film's basic premise is an attempt at FTL does this. Congrats: you totally managed to twist space-time into a pretzel and vanish from sight. Shame "instantaneous travel" wasn't the actual, primary result — leading to a time-delay in discovering just how very badly off the rails things went.

Failsafe Failure
 Event Horizon / int_1d3c92da
comment
Failsafe Failure: The airlocks on the Event Horizon are designed in such a way that a depressurization sequence cannot be canceled from either side of the airlock once it's been activated. While it is a reasonable precaution not to allow both the inner and outer doors to be open at the same time, there is no excuse for not having an abort command when it takes half a minute to actually finish depressurizing the airlock. Then again, what isn't affected by the Eldritch force inhabiting the Event Horizon?

Ambiguous Situation
 Event Horizon / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: The very ending of the film. The meaning of the door closing behind the survivors and rescue party is unknown: it might mean that the chunk of the ship they are in has retained its evil conscience and thus the cycle is gonna start again, or maybe it only symbolizes the wordless trauma they have lived and that they will never get over it, as told by Starck's uninterrupted screaming at the end. In any case, not nice.

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place
 Event Horizon / int_204a1207
comment
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: Things went horribly wrong due to the ship "folding space"... and returning. The "hyperspace" the ship goes into is strongly implied to be either Hell itself, or something far, far worse than what you're probably imagining right now. Weir describes it as a dimension of "pure chaos"—chaos as in a lack of normal natural order.

Funny Background Event
 Event Horizon / int_26eb6287
comment
In what is a very rare and easy to miss Funny Background Event in a movie very short on comic relief (Cooper aside), Starck's facial expression and posture in that scene do not change and suggest rapt attention, while all the other crew members are openly confused and/or bored, with Smith even sarcastically parodying Weir in a pantomime. It looks as if she, in contrast, has zero trouble following Weir's explanation. It's actually justified, with her seeming to be the ship's navigator, in addition to being the XO - judging by her activities and the fact that she brings up the impossibility of FTL, name-dropping relativity, so she seems to have some grasp on physics and mathematics (which she'd need if she were indeed the navigator).

Hidden Depths
 Event Horizon / int_2dc0d2bf
comment
Hidden Depths: Invoked, as the ship uses the memories and regrets that haunt the protagonists most deeply against them, to horrifying effect. Interestingly, of everyone, it is the rational, normal seeming Dr. Weir who proves the most susceptible to it, implying that the character was a touch more disturbed than he seemed to begin with. When Weir is explaining the Event Horizon's gravity drive to the rescue crew, they are all obviously disinterested and utterly confused by the stream of Techno Babble... except for Lt. Starck, who is listening intently, implying she understands what he's talking about. Though it makes some sense, as she is the navigator for the ship.

Bittersweet Ending: The Event Horizon is destroyed and its engine is sent to hyperspace, seemingly ending its menace for good. However, only three members of the crew survived and they will probably have nightmares for some time to come, if they ever recover from the experience. It turns into a Downer Ending, however, if going by the interpretation that whatever evil infected the ship is still present in their liferaft, so it's highly unlikely they will be returning to Earth... or if they do, they may even be bringing the evil with them. And that's not even delving into the possibility of the engine eventually returning from hyperspace.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he gets a bit snide in regard to the unaccountable phenomena, Dr. Weir is generally polite, softly-spoken, and, even when fanatically determined to further explore the ship, is genuinely saddened on finding the recently deceased Peters. While at times brusquely hostile to unannounced passenger Dr. Weir, Captain Miller is firm but fair, and devoted to the safety of his crew, becoming the hero of the movie later on.

The Gravity Drive bears a striking resemblance to the descriptions of Ophanim: constantly rotating interlocking wheels covered in eyes (lights in this case), with the bright light it gives off when activating alluding to how they're occasionally depicted as being on fire. Like the above, any holy connotations become inverted when it's reveal what the Gravity Drive actually is.

Bizarre Alien Senses: Wherever the Event Horizon went, the eyeless look seems to be in fashion. The eyeless phantasm of Claire entices Dr Weir to pull out his own eyes, seemingly luring whatever inhabits the ship to possess him. Dr Weir, having sewn shut his vacant eye sockets, seems practically unimpaired.

Unplanned Manual Detonation: Needing an escape vessel because their own ship was destroyed, the surviving crew of Lewis and Clark decide to detonate the charges in the connecting tunnel between the Event Horizon' habitation section and its drive section, which the ship was designed to do in order to use the front as a lifeboat. Before they can detonate them, however, they're attacked by visions of their dead friends that the Event Horizon is projecting into their minds and even a resurrected Dr. Weir. Captain Miller is trapped in the drive section and detonates the explosives manually, sacrificing himself to save his remaining crew.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 Event Horizon / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: Towards the end, Weir shows Miller gruesome visions of what is presumably a hell dimension, in which his crewmates are horrifically tortured and mutilated. These visions consist of very quick shots that are hard to see unless you pause at just the right moment. Also applies to the restored message from the original crew of the Event Horizon. To an extent, this is a mercy. If you check the time stamp on the beginning of the captain's log right before the Event Horizon initiated its first FTL gateway, and the time stamp on the later part of the log in which the original crew is going crazy, the gap between the two was apparently less than a minute. At the very least, less than a day, because both give the date as "1-23-2040". The bottom of the recording says "Time Ref", though it's not clear if this is the clock time, or just time in the recording - in which case it could just be the next thing recorded on that file a few hours later (it would probably have taken more than one minute for them to physically rip each other apart like that).

Meaningful Name
 Event Horizon / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: The Event Horizon is a ship that creates a black hole to travel through space-time; an event horizon is the point in the gravitational pull of a black hole beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. Ergo, once you're onboard the Event Horizon, you can't escape because it won't let you. And for that matter, the Lewis and Clark, named after two of the more famous explorers of the American West. This ship's crew, however, ends up exploring much, much farther than they ever expected... Weir's name is also meaningful given his psychology and history. Weirs or low-head dams are extremely dangerous to swimmers and people in small watercraft as they produce a strong hydraulic circulation that will essentially entrap someone and drown them.note Weirs are frequently referred to as "drowning machines" by rescue services for their tendency to pull people and even kayaks and canoes under and not release them for minutes to hours. Given how trapped Weir is in his past and how he's still drowning in emotional trauma, it's a fitting name.

However when the airlock starts to depressurize causing him intense Ear Ache, he snaps out of his Heroic BSoD and realises where he is. Unfortunately because the outer hatch is starting to open, the crew can't open the inner hatch to let him out as it would decompress the entire ship.

 Event Horizon / int_791ae258
comment
Eldritch Starship: The Event Horizon was an excellent example of one even before it was warped into a tortured consciousness by exposure to a hellish extradimensional realm. Note the interior design of the ship, with its odd cybergothic architecture, including its extremely strange "central core" and the "meat grinder corridor" leading to it, as well as the numerous spikes and other elements of its rather terrifying aesthetic (some of which, like the "meat grinder corridor," are handwaved as being essential to the ship's operation). It's definitely one of the weirdest human-designed ships on this list, even before being possessed by extradimensional evil. It's also one of the closest examples on this list to a Standard Human Spaceship, despite being simultaneously this trope.

Agent Scully: Weir keeps trying to think up increasingly ridiculous explanations for the obviously supernatural goings-on aboard the Event Horizon, long after everyone else accepts that something weird is going on. Not played quite so straight later on, however: At some point Weir found out what was really happening the hard way, being corrupted or possessed by the force responsible for said goings on, but kept up the pretense for a while to try and keep the crew around so they could suffer the same fate. This comes to an abrupt end when the crew find the ship's log.

Lethally Stupid: Justin walks into the engine room and sees a strange black gateway appear in the center of the gravity drive. What does he do? Attempt to reach into it. Likewise, when Peters sees a hallucination of her son, she wanders off to follow him, knowing full well that the ship is trying to mess with their heads. It gets her killed.

 Event Horizon / int_904530eb
comment
Recycled In SPACE: A ghost ship story IN SPACE! A setting in the upper atmosphere of Neptune even allowed a dramatic lightning reveal fitting the theme. Solaris as Horror. Also, according to IMDb, it was pitched as "The Shining in space." By the climax, Sam Neill is basically reprising his role as Damian Thorn, but in outer space.

Rule of Symbolism
 Event Horizon / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: The design of the Event Horizon draws inspiration from gothic architecture most commonly associated with old European churches and cathedrals. After the reveal of what lies beyond the portal, the religious connotations become much more appropriate in a perverse, twisted sense. The Gravity Drive bears a striking resemblance to the descriptions of Ophanim: constantly rotating interlocking wheels covered in eyes (lights in this case), with the bright light it gives off when activating alluding to how they're occasionally depicted as being on fire. Like the above, any holy connotations become inverted when it's reveal what the Gravity Drive actually is.

FTL Travel Sickness
 Event Horizon / int_950aef88
comment
FTL Travel Sickness: Exaggerated to levels of pure gorn. Event Horizon's space-folding drive caused the ship to travel through a hellish alternate dimension which drove the crew utterly insane and led them to slaughter each other in a both figurative and literal orgy of horrifically gory violence, and corrupted the ship itself.

Layman's Terms: Weir tries to offer a dumbed-down explanation of the principles behind Event Horizon's FTL drive ... and he still winds up unleashing an avalanche of Technobabble. In what is a very rare and easy to miss Funny Background Event in a movie very short on comic relief (Cooper aside), Starck's facial expression and posture in that scene do not change and suggest rapt attention, while all the other crew members are openly confused and/or bored, with Smith even sarcastically parodying Weir in a pantomime. It looks as if she, in contrast, has zero trouble following Weir's explanation. It's actually justified, with her seeming to be the ship's navigator, in addition to being the XO - judging by her activities and the fact that she brings up the impossibility of FTL, name-dropping relativity, so she seems to have some grasp on physics and mathematics (which she'd need if she were indeed the navigator).

Foreshadowing: Miller mentions that the last time a rescue was attempted near Neptune, both ships were lost. Both the Lewis and Clark and the Event Horizon end up lost in the end. When Starck is scanning the Event Horizon for life-signs, it detects faint signals from all over the ship. It sounds like a convenient malfunction to get the crew to search the ship themselves, until a later revelation...

The experimental FTL drive on the Event Horizon takes the ship to what Weir describes as "a realm of pure chaos and pure evil", and just being exposed to it at all drives you to murderous insanity and self-mutilation. Combine it with the Gothic influences in the ship's design and the use of Gratuitous Latin, and you can see why it's often joked the film is a pseudo-prequel to Warhammer 40,000.

Inertial Dampening: The rescue ship Lewis and Clark has an ion drive that produces 30 g's of acceleration, so the crew spends the trip sealed into fluid-filled pods to avoid becoming wall-gazpacho. This might also explain the interior of the Event Horizon when it returned. Somewhat marred because none of the items on the table in the pod room slid to the floor or were crushed during the journey.

Came Back Wrong: The whole ship. Weir, too. The phantasms conjured by the ship invoke this; Dr Weir's eyeless wife Claire, serenely keen for him to join her in the "dimension of pure chaos", entices him to pull out his own eyes. Peters's son Denny, while still alive back on Earth, appears on the ship with a severe exacerbation of his disability; lures the distraught Peters to her death, and, having done so, sports a singularly chilling Psychotic Smirk. Eddy Corrick, whom Captain Miller was forced to leave to burn to death on the Goliath, appears as a burning, raging apparition.

Big "NO!": Delivered by Weir when Miller activates the explosives, detaching the front of the ship and allowing the surviving crew to escape. Depending on how one interprets Weir as having become an extension of the ship's will, however, one can reasonably argue the Event Horizon itself delivered it. Miller definitely has one while demonically possessed Weir shows him what will happen to his crew when the Event Horizon gets to Hell or the hellish dimension.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Weir's first few nightmares would seem to be mundane since he is not yet on the ship, but they also appear to be prophetic, suggesting perhaps a greater range of influence for the ship than we might first suspect. Or his grief and guilt are so strong, it's the first natural thing for the ship to latch on to and exploit.

 Event Horizon / int_cc28f3bf

Not That Kind of Doctor: Possibly subverted. Dr. Weir is a doctor of theoretical physics, but shows an amazing grasp of surgery and anatomy later in the film. This is most likely due to the Event Horizon possessing him as the 'surgery' was performed by an eyeless Weir and around/after this time he was also able to neck lift and throw people across a room with unnatural ease for someone with his build.

 Event Horizon / int_d525f857
comment
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: There is concern that the Event Horizon will "run out of air" (oxygen) within hours or there will build up a poisonous level of carbon dioxide. These are concerns that affect real spacecraft, perhaps most well known in the dramatic saga of Apollo 13. However, the Apollo craft interior were smaller than a small bathroom. The Horizon's interior is enormous, literally thousands of times bigger than Apollo's. Even the Clark's interior is hundreds of times bigger than Apollo's. The Clark's crew is only about three times that of the lunar missions. They would have had safe atmosphere for probably months on the Horizon and weeks on the Clark, not even considering that they had a supply of suits and the option for stasis.

Naked Nutter: The fate of the eponymous ship's crew has remained a mystery for most of the film. Towards the climax, the crew of the Lewis And Clark belatedly find a video log of what happened: as soon as they activated the gravity drive, everyone on board descended into violent madness and murdered each other in a variety of hideous ways - many of the perpetrators being undressed at the time. The final shot is of the blood-splattered captain sitting in front of the camera, stark naked and holding his own eyeballs in his outstretched hands.

Pulled from Your Day Off: The crew of the Lewis and Clark finds itself suddenly pulled from shore leave to undergo a top-secret rescue mission. Once they are finally told on-site that they are looking for the Event Horizon, a ship that was famously destroyed (which was actually a cover-up), they get quite understandably angry (imagine if someone pulled you off your vacation and ordered you to go rescue the Titanic).

From Nobody to Nightmare: Sort of. Weir wasn't exactly a nobody. The other crew members acknowledge he had been a highly accomplished and respected world-class physicist before the disappearance of the Event Horizon. But he was also the adult equivalent of the nerdy wimp with no physical combat capabilities whatsoever. Starck, early in the film, effortlessly subdues him with a submission hold. And he looks like a school boy wanting to cry after getting bullied. That all changes after his transformation into a Humanoid Abomination. He becomes the most powerful and immediate threat to the crew. And he doesn't hesitate to show it, like when he tossed Starck around like a ragdoll with his new power.

Artistic License – Physics
 Event Horizon / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: Discussed. It's noted in the film that the FTL Drive the Event Horizon supposedly has can't work because of the Law of Relativity stating that FTL travel is impossible. William Weir, as he puts it, had to work around it, which is where Folding Space comes into play and the cause of everything that happens in the movie. The movie never quite works out which pseudophysics handwave it intends to use for the ship's FTL capability: Weir talks about how the drive uses focused gravitons, implying that it uses the immense gravity of the black hole in the core to bend space, or, more glibly, that the ship works by warp drive; his demonstrated metaphor works more like a wormhole; however, the events that actually transpire suggest it was some kind of hyperdrive. While no human being has yet seen a black hole up close, we can be pretty sure that, should that ever happen, we wouldn't be able to stick our finger in one, pull out some black hole goo, get sucked in, and then thrown out again. However, even that may be more of a consciously discussed trope that's, at least partially, played with: Weir before he is possessed explicitly says that an opening of the gateway the way it happened is not physically possible, which might imply that, under normal operation, the physical principles of the containment are quite different. Played utterly and completely straight with the Lewis and Clark's ion-drive acceleration. While an ion drive is a very efficient way to move around large distances, they produce minimal acceleration (you're basically using individual atoms as reaction mass to propel a ship billions of times more massive). Their advantages are excellent fuel economy and continuous acceleration, their disadvantages are extremely low changes in velocity and direction over a given period of time. So there's no way an ion drive firing would generate any appreciable g-force, let alone enough to liquefy a person. The Clark has what they call an ion drive that can generate extremely high acceleration. Maybe they are using the term to describe a different type of device? The Event Horizon has a pressurized environment that might well be described as— enormous, from an oxygen consumption and CO₂ waste point of view. The popular conception is of the lunar missions which had a few cubic feet of atmosphere or the Nostromo shuttle which was several times larger but they were considering a many months long duration. The Event Horizon would be able to support people for weeks before it would be become an issue, let alone 20 hours or whatever. Cooper using the air from his suit to rocket toward the Event Horizon might be possible, but it's incredibly unlikely he would manage to actually intersect the ship, and there's no explanation of how he managed to slow down. Possibly justified by what the ship is trying up to. When Justin is ejected into outer space, his veins immediately start to burst and bleed heavily. This isn't very likely to happen in the short time that he is exposed to the vacuum of space. Parts of the body will probably start to bulge due to the lack of atmospheric pressure, and there will probably be some subcutaneous bleeding from ruptured blood vessels, but the human skin is thought to be resilient enough to stay intact. Also, the blood that leaves his body remains liquid; in reality, it would boil and evaporate instantly due to the lack of pressure. Not everything about the scene is unrealistic: the fact that he remained conscious is probably correct (most adults would remain conscious for 10-20 seconds), as well as the fact that he does not freeze (although deep space is extremely cold, the lack of gas molecules makes it difficult for body heat to leave the body).

Shown Their Work: Given the liberties taken with physics above, the astronomy is surprisingly on-point. Neptune looks like Neptune should look; we see accurate depictions of Triton and Nereid, and Miller mentions that they are "three billion clicks from the nearest outpost," which happens to be the orbit of Saturn (perhaps a colony on Titan?). When Justin attempts to space himself, Miller tells him to blow all the air out of his lungs. This is correct; attempting to hold your breath would cause the air to be violently sucked out of your body, causing severe damage to the respiratory system.
