Awesome idea. How's Floodlines? Event horizon is one of my favorite horror movies. Plus Sam Neil? gr9.

Floodlines is really good, but really infuriating because it highlights just how fucked up America is and how screwed the poor/minorities are.

That was my first viewing of Event Horizon and I thought it was okay - a bit dated I think, and I was a bit disappointed in that I didn't really find it particularly scary. It has those disturbing violent flashes but I didn't really feel the tension like I think I was meant to.
