    The last rumor was that they found a VHS workprint but that was debunked.

    Galaxy of Terror is better anyway.

            I happened to rewatch this just a couple days ago. There's very few films I'd say this about but Event Horizon could definitely do with being half an hour longer. It's a haunted house flick and haunted house flicks are supposed to have a period of subtly mounting menace. There's no time for that here though. There's more to set up than in your standard haunted house so the whole "mounting dread" part of the structure is missing.

            It's a funny one, EH is borderline to being a film you could call "objectively shit" and yet I've still seen it half a dozen times and I think I'm very far from alone in that.

              Looks like Paramount is going all out on the UHD, fancy packaging and everything.

                1997 was a pretty good year. Some decent films that year, also. However, this film wasn't too good.

                I still recall clearly, myself, being anticipated for this movie. I saw that Fangoria magazine, that had a cover with a guy being impaled, a scene that I guess was edited out of the film. So Fangoria had me hyped up for the, "Haunted house in outer space" film. Also, some of what I was reading on the internet at that time really had me stoked to see the movie.

                Well, i recall having a lot of disappointment during, and after the film. It was a lot more slow, and dull, than I expected. Nowhere near the level as Fangoria and other stuff on the 90s internet had hyped it up to be. Later, i read about the film being heavily edited.

                I did revisit this on Blu-ray. I don't think i ever bothered with it on VHS or DVD. I don't own the DVD, so, I think with the Blu-ray release it was the first time I had revisted it since the theatre. I knew what to expect that time, however, I still didn't find it to be too good.If some fo that edited out footage shows up, and they put the film back together, I'd be more interested in revisting it. Still, it is one of those movies I recall really being interested in seeing, and the huge disappointment I felt, afterwards.

                For some reason this does remind me, that wen it comes to space films, years later, I did see Pandorum. That film starts out a bit slow, but it held my interest, and really went somewhere. Not a, "Haunted house in outer space" film, but close enough! Heck, Sunshine was closer to, "Haunted house in outer space" than Event Horizon.

                Here's hoping that one day a version of Event Horizon surfaces that has all the footage that was cut!

                  It's always slightly disorienting to go back and look at individual years from the 90s. '97 you had Lost Highway and Jackie Brown as the marque films. Titanic and Face Off for the crowd pleasers. LA Confidential and The Game for solid thrillers. Con Air was that year. Didnt matter that the new Alien film sucked because we had Starship Troopers, Fifth Element, Event Horizon and Men In Black for sci fi alone. Austin Powers and Grosse Point Blank for comedy. Boogie Nights was that year. Then there were all those films that were highly thought of that I don't personally rate: Donnie Brasco and Good Will Hunting and Lolita and As Good As It Gets and Funny Games.

                  Wasn't even the best year of the 90s.
