Did you know that Event Horizon’s gravity drive was inspired by the puzzle box from Hellraiser? Oh yes, baby… and there’s a lot more where that effing spaceship came from.

👋 What’s up guys! We’re beginning our tribute day to the late, great Sam Neill with one of his most memorable journeys into horror, and unfortunately for Dr. William Weir, this particular journey appears to go straight down to Hell. Or is it up in space? I don’t know now.

Director Paul W. S. Anderson, the genius bad ass behind this journey of madness, designed this ship as a kind of flying gothic cathedral and modelled its rotating corridor around the Nine Circles of Hell from Dante’s Inferno. Basically, this ship was doomed from its conception, long before anyone had the nerve to switch the bloody thing on.

If you want a taste of what 2047 could potentially look like, then follow this rescue crew as they investigate this mysterious experimental starship as it suddenly reappears out of nowhere, opening a gateway into pure, malevolent chaos.

As this ship drifts through space like a sentient gothic tomb, the vessel weaponises the crew’s deepest traumas and forces them to escape its living corridors, twisting their reality and completely shattering their sanity. Oh boy, this movie is effing insane. 😈

The Meetup: We’ll be meeting up at 2:30 pm at Victory House Wine Bar, where we’ll decide which horror movie universe you'd least like to face alone. Then at 3:30 pm we’ll head next door to the Prince Charles Cinema for the 35mm screening. You’ll find me in seat A6, but feel free to pick your favourite seat.

After the film at around 5:25 pm, we’ll regroup again at the bar to share our thoughts, discuss what we’ve just witnessed and give it our Letterboxd scores. You’ll also find the full ticket information, cinema address and map down below, so you won’t get lost.

For now, just remember: It can be a mind game in space if you can’t survive your own insanity. I think we’ve all been there! 🔥👁️

See you guys there!
Jonny
