Event Horizon
Friday July 3rd
A rescue crew find themselves in Hell in Paul W S Anderson’s legendary sci-fi horror. Not for the faint hearted.
EVENT HORIZON
More of you have asked for Event Horizon than almost any other film.
It is rarely shown anywhere and a hard one to get hold of, but I have managed to unearth a copy, and we are putting it on for one night at the Plaza as part of Pat’s Horror Film Club.
If you do not know it: Event Horizon (1997) is a rescue crew sent out to a ship that vanished for seven years and came back from somewhere far worse than empty space, with something following it home. Laurence Fishburne leads the crew. Sam Neill built the ship, and it works on him hardest. Paul W.S. Anderson directed it.
It flopped on release and then refused to die. It is now one of the most admired cult horrors there is, the one a whole generation of horror directors grew up terrified by. There is a legend to go with it. Paramount were so horrified by the first cut that they made Anderson take the worst of it out, and that footage was lost for good. What survives is still genuinely frightening, and far better in a full room than alone on the sofa.
This is the one you have been asking for, on a big screen, for one night only. Not for the faint-hearted
