High-tech ghost story takes a grip until credibility goes into orbit. Full Review |

Paul Anderson shoots things to look cool, but he has no grasp on how to modulate the visuals to carry the audience into the deepening nightmare of the plot. Full Review |

Paul W.S. Anderson's outer space horror Event Horizon is an example of a potentially great and complex idea given a simplistic and ultimately ridiculous execution. Full Review |

4/10 |

... incrível como um filme que suga tantos elementos de clássicos como 2001, Alien e Solaris pode ter resultado em uma besteira tão grande. Mas é este o talento de Anderson: dirigir besteiras colossais.

In its first hour, "Event" is startlingly beautiful and compelling... its last half-hour (is) a gore-drenched free-for-all, with images of Hell that seem to have been lifted directly from a Nine Inch Nails video... Full Review |

Bad things happen, the kind of things that happen in bad horror movies that attempt to sound smarter than they really are. Full Review |
