Event Horizon
This is an english film about a crew going to investigate what happened to a large spaceship sent deep into outer space - just near to pluto if i remember correctly. Its a horror movie (and not even a fantastic one), but the main part of the scaryness is left to your own imagination. Lots of creepy music and people being alone in areas of the ship, to inevitably end up meeing some terrible end or running from 'something' that you never quite see.

So here we are in the cinema and the music starts...omg even the music in the starting credits gave me palpitations....i have no idea why. At this point i should mention that i have never been scared by horror films - ive jumped sometimes and ewwwwed others, but never actually felt real fear.

As the film progresses and the scaryness gets into full swing, i start to shake at every change in the music. I eventually resorted to looking at the floor with my fingers in my ears...what a big girls blouse...but i didn't care, at the time i was genuinely distressed. I did manage to catch most of the film anyway, but one bit actually made me shout out 'like i really needed to see that!', much to the embarassment of Mr Whiskers who spent the rest of the film shushing me into the quietest whimpering i could muster, and flatly refusing to let me leave.

Needless to say as soon as it was available for purchase he bought it and proceeded to taunt me with it. To this day i cant even sit through the starting credits. Gotta admit the ending was pretty naff tho - rest of the film was wibble inducing.

I have never had such an irrational fear over watching a film, just that one. I dont really think it was the pictures, more the seriously dramatic music that builds up such a sense of forboding that i have to leave the room and drown out the sound with music if he decides to watch it.

Length? 92 minutes i couldn't possibly sit through ever again...

Good film
I always thnk theres a real sense of isolation in that film; the rescuers have a Space Ship but its not a hyper drive thing; it can just about get across the Solar system. Its quite a primitive/low tech world.

Me too
I had to sleep with the light on for a week after seeing it. I was 21 at the time, or thereabouts.

Mrs Weapon made me go and see Sunshine last year. That reminded me of Event Horizon. I didn't like it at all.

Light back on for a further week.

Yeah
Same here,
Thought it was going to be quite interesting in the same vein as aliens (even that scared me when I was younger, but love it now!)

But it scared me shitless, I remember having to sleep with the light on (I was 18 or so at the time)

Then on RAF camp one time the lads got it out, I retired to my room cos I was 'tired'

How manly am I?!?!?!?!?
