Alien/Aliens is a given for most people. I have been watching Event Horizon during the spooky season for years. What are some of your favorite books and movies with a horror/psychological thriller lean?

Such a great concept for a movie. It’s like a short story brought to life. I could easily see this done as a stage play, to a much greater effect. Especially the culmination of his story, the reveal, and the potential implication.

Wish the acting was better, but still a great movie!

What potential implications are there?

[–] PreviouslyAmused@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really a spoiler, but I don’t want to say anything so you can go in blind.

It’s not a “What?!? The whole time?!?” Like Sixth Sense, but an interesting perspective.

I saw the film a decade ago. You can't spoil me. I just don't remember any implications. Everything was pretty clearly spelled out - or I missed something, and want you to tell me!
