Event Horizon - Science as Religion, Horror as Reality
PATREON MOVIE DISCUSSION:
Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss June's Patreon-Picked movie, Event Horizon! This late 90's sci-fi horror feature includes some excellent set-design and atmosphere, but does it satisfy the needs of a horror movie? And what themes are present in this early Paul W.S. Anderson picture?
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 20-minutes discussing Carly Thomas' write-up on The Hollywood Reporter "James Gunn Says the "Movie Industry is Dying" Due to Films Being Made with Unfinished Scripts" and whether we believe in Gunn's interpretation of Hollywood's current hurdles or if the issue is more complicated than that. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- For Kathryn, Event Horizon was a mix of big surprises with a few small disappointments.
- The film balances "being fun" and "about something" without impeding either
- Rewatching a movie sometimes makes it better.
- Is the pursuit of knowledge worth the cost?
- In Event Horizon the antagonistic force is completely evil.
- Each act of the film feels distinct and exciting, with the third act being an explosive climax mixing everything together.
