As per Muz' request, I'm taking this one up in a new thread. I am so glad someone else shares my opinion as to how absolutely fantastic this film is; anyone who worked with me in my early days at the DBC and has seen the recent contributions to the My Wife / My Dead Wife thread will have been chuckling to themselves just waiting for me to see that post 
Event Horizon is in a class of its own. Its psychological impact is huge. I saw it nine times in three cities at the cinema and came out of it the first time absolutely dazed. The camera work flows so seamlessly and there's just the right amount of humour to balance the deep horror and make the characters real. The concept behind it is darkly thought provoking and there is also an excellent novelisation of it by Steven E McDonald which is true to the plot but goes into more depth about the characters, their feelings and motivations. The novel was very difficult to track down even at the time the movie was first out but it may be possible to get it from the likes of Amazon, to which I didn't have access at the time.
Ave Atque Vale!

Bit pricey though!
