To tell you the truth, I think I'm going to watch it again. Most of my reaction was probably due to having the wrong expectations set. As a movie goer, I like to go in fresh with very little information. I thought I was going to see a great space opera film, not a horror film. But then they hit me with that suspense music, and I just sat there thinking--oh shit! Still, I always think that movies with un-conquerable evil, such as Jason in Friday the 13th, are weak. The only value to watching the film at that point, is to see who survives and how insane they are at the end. But.... I really dig Event Horizon's out of space suit EVA scene. They had done the best special effects/coolness job with that and it was a first as AFIK that someone survives exposure to space. They did something like it again in Farscape, years later. And then years later again, they did it in the new Star Trek film (though I think they had on space suits... wimps! BTW, in China, all the cheap DVD players that are even 3-4 years old can play Blu-ray. I couldn't fricken believe it! Lol! To tell you the truth, I think I’m going to watch it again.
