This Fan edit set up Event Horizon as a sequel to the movie In The Mouth Of Madness, and honestly, any other horror movie with Sam Neill would work here, In order to explain how this works I would have to spoil the movie In The Mouth of Madness, and if you have never seen this movie watch it first (One of my personal favorite), and you will get the picture.

This Fan edit is just a nice idea, it doesn't benefit either Event Horizon or In The Mouth of Madness from a narrative perspective, but it executes the idea well.

One complaint is that the text in the book moves in one of the scenes and it breaks the illusion

The beginning is really strong, the visual effects work is incredible, near seamlessly combining 2 movies in editing, great pacing, but I found the story kinda lacking. I thought more parallels between the stories would be featured. The vibe I got initially was that Weir's backstory was a subtle clue at Trent's backstory. Both characters being driven to the point of obsession to not see that they were walking into a snare. I think the Event Horizon plot should have had a far bigger role in the edit. The scene explaining how the EH folds space could have been a really cool narrative element. *SPOILERS FOR EVENT HORIZON AND IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS* Maybe there could have been an implication that Sutter Cane had to write a story to manipulate reality. The ITMOM stuff was the real world and the Event Horizon stuff could have been a parallel narrative, and the only way the elder gods can enter our world is if the Event Horizon tears apart the fabric of reality. I know it's easier said than done and I'm sure that this might have been an intention on Rollwave's part but showing more of the Event Horizon story could have communicated this idea. Killer Horizon is a great edit of Event Horizon, you could still make it work since it's a very brisk edit and makes Weir the protagonist of Killer Horizon. I think incorporating ideas from that edit could really bring this idea home.

Periodically throughout this edit I got the idea that this was the case, it clicked for me. Weir missing Claire, and Trent being visibly affected by this vision, kinda like Nocturnal Animals. Fiction being a reflection of reality, and where those lines blur. I'm not trying to shit on RollWaves. The amount of work they put in is amazing, I was blown away. I just felt like the narrative potential wasn't 100% realized. I just hope this review was constructive, please don't stop making edits

The wait is over, I finally got a hold of this. I enjoyed the original, In the Mouth of Madness, which this edit is largely based upon, however I found Event Horizon to be a fairly weak film with but with great visuals and horror moments. Therefore, I was very intrigued by the idea behind this fanedit, which essentially replaces the dreams and "in-book scenes" from ItMoM with scenes from Event Horizon. The end result is remarkable. The chosen scenes flow suprisingly well within the narrative of ItMoM; the placement of these scenes was very well chosen. I won't spoil anything here. The editing on display here is highly skillful, much more so than you get from most fanedits, as it is not simply a case of ItMoM playing for a while, then switching to Event Horizon, and then back - but rather, scenes and imagery from Event Horizon is actually edited into ItMoM so that the final product feels like a single unified work.

One very minor point, at 1hr 27, the cinema scene of Trent waking up is the original and not the Event Horizon replacement. But that only lasts for a moment.

Overall, I have been looking forward to watching this edit for a number of years, and can safely say the hype paid off. Thank you to That One Guy for sharing this, and thank you to RollWave for making such an impressive piece of work. It's a shame he's not around these boards anymore as both this and The Boy Who Never Lived are very technically impressive and I'd be fascinated to see what else he could make.

Besides one particular case of noticeable rotoscoping, this edit is very well made from a visual and audio perspective. I really have no complaints there. However, I was disappointed by this edit. It was partly my own fault for forgetting how its IFDB page describes it since I just put it on my watchlist a while ago, so I was surprised how much this was just "In the Mouth of Madness" with scattered shots and scenes from "Event Horizon." While these additions are not jarring and actually feel mostly in place in the movie, they don't add much if anything at all. Add that to the fact that "In the Mouth of Madness" was not a movie I loved in the first place, and we have an unfortunate combination. All that said, I applaud the editor for the effort they put in to this!
