Event Horizon: Slashed aka Killer Horizon

A pretty slick new view of Event Horizon. I'm not going to complain about SD quality video and sound but it should be expected. This movie plays out like an intense tale horror with all the camp and suspense kept in it.

I’ll get streight to the point. I found the pace just too fast, just jumping from scene to scene. I feel there needs to be time to let the dread and eeriness to sink in. I found it lacking atmosphere.

Thank you for this version. I still enjoyed it but I have to rate it as a movie and not an edit. 6/10 (editing: 9/10)

Event Horizon is a cult classic, and it shows. Even after the MPAA made Paul W.S. Anderson cut out half an hour of gore, this is still a violent, darkly toned movie. Going into this edit, i was not sure what to expect, since Event Horizon it not exactly something that leads to a lot of interpretations.

First off, the video quality is not the best. The custom intro had some major artifacting, but everything after that was pretty decent, it was entirely watchable. Although the footage looked a little low quality. Nothing terrible, but since i watched the DL-DVD, i expected a little better. The Sound is a lot better in terms of overall quality. Again, with the intro, when the title popped up, it came with a loud, crashing sound. I feel like it could have been done a little better.

The footage put into the movie fits. There was one or two things that were a little noticeable. Like when Lt. Starck meets her end and the audio cut of her screaming/grunting seems to appear a little too suddenly. Some footage seems to repeat or be reverse, but overall, there is not a lot to complain about here.

The DL-DVD comes with some good special features, such as "slashed" (deleted) scenes, an audio featurette, which shows off how the editor did a pretty good job at doing the audio, trailers for other fanedits, stills, info, and an easter egg. It's a pretty good package for a fanedit, and it goes beyond what's expected. There was a weird issue with my copy of it, and i don't know if it affects anyone else, but when selecting things on the menu, the highlight for whatever option i was on didn't match the icon on screen.

Killer Horizon is an even darker cut of Event Horizon and does a pretty decent job it. Outside of a few minor problems that a 2.0 version of this can fix, this makes for an interesting alternate version of Event Horizon. All of my problems could easily be fixed with a second version of it, but i doubt the editor will ever return to this,

I enjoyed this edit very much. There were a few minor rough edges, but nothing to get too worked up about. (One spelling mistake and a few continuity gaffs.)

I love the approach of the new ending. It's amazing how easily an early sequence becomes chilling when moved to the climax.

If you enjoyed the original Event Horizon, definitely check this one out. If you didn’t care for it, you should still check this one out.

Hated it.
The Faneditor took a great one-of-a-kind 'Hellraiser in space' and turned it into a stock-standard generic horror that ultimately cheapens the whole experience and makes no sense in the context of SCIENCE fiction.

The inclusion of extra visuals would've been fine if seasoned horror fans like myself didn't already recognise them. Overall I just found it jarring, and it took me out of the moment in every instance.
Also, trimming down the Weir's monologues and the Captain's backstory hurt this edit, along with other great sections of character dialogue that showed them as a close-knit team. What we have in their place are visions of the possessed Jennifer Carpenter from The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and in the final act even her voiceover "I am Lucifer, the devil in the flesh" which makes absolutely zero sense because it is the manifestation of a hellish and chaotic ALTERNATE DIMENSION the crew are experiencing, not any demon devil from a religious/supernatural hell.

I give credit for the hard work put in and the editing as it was mostly pretty well executed, even though I find it detrimental to the storytelling, but the video is very grainy which I'm not sure is a stylistic choice by the editor or indicative of the source they used but that's the I'm leaning as the audio seems to be inferior too, just less clean than it should be, but again that may be a choice, I just don't know.. but these things I just feel are sub-standard when compared to the original material which was of great quality, and there are also a few hard cuts that could've been smoother.
