At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The initial impression of this film is that the writers threw it together as fast as possible with no research or really much thought at all.The first, and possibly most frustrating, problem is the numerous and obvious scientific inaccuracies. A human cannot survive in space without a spacesuit. Even if he is carrying the only means of survival for the crew. A rifle fired in a spacecraft does not end well for anyone involve. (Still not sure why they packed an arsenal of assault rifles anyway). There was a surprising abundance of gravity and oxygen on the abandoned shuttle, which of course was never designed to leave low Earth orbit, let along travel to the moon. The list goes on...Even if these shortfalls don't bother you, the acting sure will. Captain Mullet was the most competent of the crew, and that says very little. Each character was one dimensional, so of course the actors had to go overboard with the only emotion they were allowed to express. The old guy's creepiness, the former combat soldier's urge to kill everything, the woman's uselessness, and the doctor's cowardice/cream allergy all foreshadowed their individual (vain) attempts to move the plot forward.The writing was completely nonsensical. The acting was terrible. It all works well together to redefine the term 'B-movie'.Despite Captain Mullet's selfless heroism and noble intentions, why should we be led to believe that a nuclear blast will kill Satan?

Granted I have never actually seen "Event Horizon" all the way through in one viewing. I mainly have seen it in snippets, but I did watch this one all the way through and the plot points I did pick up from Event has some similarities to this lesser known horror film that takes place on the dark side of the moon. This film was okay, interesting enough to keep me entertained during its run. Could have had better pacing and some parts of the film seemed unnecessary like the strange android lady that was laying down throughout all the movie, but still for a low budget film it plays out rather nicely. Crew aboard a space ship loses power and are unable to get help and are running out of oxygen quick. To their surprise a missing ship appears before them and they decide to try and tap into that ships remaining supply of oxygen. However, members of the crew begin to get killed and they begin suspecting each other. There does seem to be something else though behind the killings, but exactly what remains unknown till the end. Just a little added here and there and this movie would have been super. As I have said many times though a lot of horror movies could have been better if they just add a little of this or do a little something to the story. Still, it is an enjoyable enough movie as it is.

I have seen this movie twice and although the actual plot could be deemed as a little far fetched, it really works.Basically, after a systems failure a ship gets trapped upon the darkside of the moon, where all kinds of weird goings on begin to take place as slowly the crew members are picked off one by one by an unseen assailant/assailants.The actual film idea itself is excellent and it really does use darkness in the film for the right reasons and as always, desolate space ships make excellent places for horror to hide round every unlit little corner. Add the fact that there is nowhere to run and the horrible feeling of claustrophobia and you have a gem of a move that is slick, doesn't seem over-produced and has a genius idea of a story running through its core.It is nice to see a film made to scare and not to shock.

This is the most excellent B-movie I have ever seen ! - It's not an alien-rip, because it's not about aliens. It's got a unik plot, and the actors play very good in this low-cost movie. The characters in the movie gets played-out on each other, and their confidence in each other on the team gets tested to the limit. As the movie goes on, the less they trust in each other, and want to blame everyone, but themselfs for what is happening aboard on an alien spacecraft. They all have some great lines in the movie, and I think this will only appear to you, if you see the movie over and over again. I have seen this movie at least 4 times now, and I still love the story behind it all.
