Event Horizon

1997 · Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson

CrimeComedy90s

Mark Wahlberg is a sensitive hitman with a bleeding ulcer whose kidnapping job goes sideways. Nobody remembers this movie. It deserves better.

Why It's Cult

The Big Hit is a late-90s John Woo-produced action comedy that absolutely nobody watches, and it shreds. Wahlberg at the exact right register. Lou Diamond Phillips as the villain doing a performance from outer space. A video-store sleeper that deserves a second life.

The Plot, Officially

In the year 2047 a group of astronauts are sent to investigate and salvage the long lost starship "Event Horizon". The ship disappeared mysteriously 7 years before on its maiden voyage and with its return comes even more mystery as the crew of the "Lewis and Clark" discover the real truth behind its disappearance and something even more terrifying.

Starring

Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan
