Alien could be moved to another setting and still tell the same story. |

Alien is horror, Aliens is action - both in scifi settings. I'm not sure I can choose between BWP, ED2, Dawn of the Dead, The Shining or the first Saw film. Event Horizon is a good shout too. |

I think I would go with Event Horizon. Properly unpleasant film, and lovely Joely Richardson |

Cor, Event Horizon was twenty years ago. I think I saw it at a cinema that no longer exists with Mr Chris, IIRC |

It's probably a 15 by today's standards. |

Often horror films get reclassified on DVD release, but that didn't. Bet you anything it was because of "religious imagery" |

Event Horizon is still pretty strong even by today's 18 standards. Unfortunately a lot of stuff was cut out by the studio prior to release (so it was never 'censored' per se), and the lost footage doesn't exist in any sort of meaningful format. viewtopic.php?p=707521#p707521 << WARNING contains NSFW link of some of the footage removed from Event Horizon by the studio. It looks fucking AWESOME. |

Event Horizon is very good but let down by the ending. Pandorum felt quite similar and is worth a look if you like Event Horizon. Don't think it's the best horror movie ever though. There doesn't appear to be any critical consensus on this. IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and Empire all have different lists. There are commonalities between them all and a lot of the ones mentioned appear on all lists. |

I freaked out at dark corners and had a traumatised night's sleep after watching Event Horizon for the first time. There's a bit in the original Nosferatu when during the sea crossing the vampire materializes on top of his coffin which freaks me out every time I see it. |

I watched Event Horizon when I was about 21, but remember absolutely nothing about it and certainly don't remember being scared by it. I can only assume that it was so horrific that I've blocked it out. |
