      I loved Event Horizon

      There’s also a fantastic fan theory that Event Horizon takes place in the Warhammer 40k Universe but far in humanities early history. It’s one that I actually buy into. Makes a shocking amount of sense.

      Yeah, first warp travel. Way before Geller fields were invented. The whole depiction of what the crew went through and what happens during the film is very much what you expect from 40k Warp

          I would love to hear what the creators of the movie would say about that theory :D

      That’s a good one, but I think “annihilation” is a better sci-fi horror. That movie was fucking amazing

          Perfectly okay, media will always be subject to taste and no one is the same. I wish, however, that there was an extended version of event horizon and that the extra scenes weren’t destroyed. Sad, that movie is top 5 sci-fi horrors though. What do you think of “Color out of Space”?

              Oh fuck, lmao. I’m actually so happy you mentioned that movie, I’ve never heard of it and I truly believe sci-fi horror to be vastly under-explored and underrated sub genre. So when I find out there’s another one out there I get super happy, so thanks man lol. We both have another movie on our list 🤣

            Color Out of Space looks promising.

        I haven’t seen Annihilation. I’ll have to add it to my list. Thanks!
