Event Horizon is a 1997 science fiction horror film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and written by Philip Eisner. It stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan and Joely Richardson. Set in 2047, it follows a crew of astronauts sent on a rescue mission after a missing spaceship, the Event Horizon, spontaneously appears in orbit around Neptune. Searching the ship for signs of life, the rescue crew learns that The Event Horizon was responsible for testing an experimental engine that opened a rift in the space time continuum, allowing a hostile entity on board the ship.
Though initially a box office and critical failure, appreciation of Event Horizon increased significantly after it was released onto Home Video, becoming a cult favourite. A decade later, the general look of the film, art direction, costuming and the visceral horror tone heavily influenced EA's Dead Space video game franchise.
