There’s this one called Prometheus but it’s quality is a little debated

I guess it’s a gray area but since Prometheus takes place almost entirely on a planet is it a space horror or just a sci fi horror?

Ok real answers: Pitch Black Ghosts of Mars Outland A good recommendation for this thread, but a bad movie, is Lifeforce which is a weird perverted movie with Patrick Stewart

Groovelord Neato posted:I want Mike to explain what he means by time stopping if you hit the speed of light. Also "time-space" lol I mean it's not that far off, he's just talking about time dilation. If you were inside of a spaceship getting faster and faster, time would appear to pass more slowly for things you observe outside the spaceship, getting slower and slower as you approached the speed of light. That's not really the reason you can't go faster than light though

I remember being so disappointed in Outland when I was a little kid. It's set in space... but it's so boring (for a kid).

Honestly a remake is a great idea. You could also do a re-cut that almost entirely removes Stereotype Black Character, redo some sound, and mess with digital grading filters to make it feel less like a movie from that weird dark period of the late 90s and early 00s where everything was lovely in an unexplainable way.

On a whim I am rewatching Mystery Men for the first time since like.....2000. It's weird as hell and I'd like to see another super hero film shot like it. How did this movie even happen?

Event Horizon has a lot going for it, absolutely worth a watch because even if you end up not thinking its a good movie you'll still find plenty to like

Just picturing the possibilities from a very earnest Denis Villeneuve sci-fi horror to an I don't know who absolute gutwrenching splatterfest. The concept of meat humans passing through hell and out the other side in a cursed spaceship loaded with Poltergeist times a million evil psychic energy for more victims to discover is one of the sci-fi / horror plots you could do an infinite number of things with. I'd kill to be someone with script control on a remake of Event Horizon.

Why bother with an Event Horizon remake when they could just make a movie about a 40k ship going into the warp and it's geller shields malfunction and chaos seeps into the ship. I mean, that's the premise of Event Horizon, is it not?

Cugel the Clever posted:QFT. The premise is good enough that it's at least worth a watch, even if the implementation is wanting. It's honestly still better than just about all the attempts at space-based horror that have come along since. Sunshine and Europa Report were oddly lacking; Pandorum was dull; Ghosts of Mars and Prometheus were a trash fire. Surprised to hear all the hate for Sunshine in this thread, I thought it was great. Definitely better than Event Horizon. Haven't seen it since it came out in theaters though, might have to give it a rewatch and see if it holds up

It's really, really good, with amazing setpieces and great performances and one of the all timer film scores built around such a thin premise. And it shits the bed when the movie becomes a slasher flick right at the very end.

After watching this re:View, and knowing his thoughts on stuff like Star Trek and Starship Troopers, I would love it if someone came along and tried to explain Warhammer 40k to Mike Stoklasa. He'd probably have an existential crisis or something.

The weirdest part of it turning into a slasher flick is it still works when there's a crazy unknown guy sabotaging the mission. They just took it that one step too far. The finale should have been the crazy guy sabotaged some poo poo and the next-to-final-survivor does the big sacrifice because he has to go down with the broken ship. Instead it's a duel between the slasher and last survivor and it kills the whole feel of the movie that Cillian Murphy wasn't saving the world with a noble sacrifice, but just besting some crispy dickhead. It's weak and stinks of corporate interference.

They were all going down with the ship anyway in Sunshine weren't they? I remember thinking it was a suicide mission from the start and the movie never gave them an out with like an escape ship or something.

Mike was describing me exactly when he asked if there were kids who saw Event Horizon and were horrified at the time but now nostalgic about it like he was about Rawhead Rex. I was scared out of my mind when I somehow got a VHS of this movie at age 12 but still had to share it with other friends, like it was the video from the Ring or something, like the real poo poo that no one knew about. One of my friends adopted "Here I come, motherfuckers!" as a football battle cry. I loved it on every level, the goofyness of Cooper, the creeping dread of the message in latin, the suspense of the airlock scene, the visceral horror of uh everything, Sam Neil's awesome but sometimes humorous transformation to demonhood. Event Horizon loving owns, and the world needs way more space demon movies
