EVENT HORIZON (1997): The Sci-Fi Horror That Went to Hell | Cinema Shock Roulette

from Cinema Shock · host Cinema Shock

What if ALIEN had been directed by Clive Barker? In this episode of Cinema Shock Roulette, we’re diving into EVENT HORIZON, Paul W.S. Anderson’s cult sci-fi horror film that famously crashed and burned at the box office before becoming a late-night classic. We’ll explore the troubled production, including studio interference, a rushed edit, and the now-legendary lost footage. We’ll also dig into the film’s HELLRAISER-inspired depiction of Hell, the incredible set design, and how it ultimately found its audience among horror fans and convention goers years later. Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by Slasher Film Festival Strategy. This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, and Justin Bishop..
