About
Choose Event Horizon if you want an atmospheric horror-in-space mystery with bleak tension and a salvage/rescue premise—Not for you if you dislike haunted-ship chills or graphic horror, or if you’re only looking for clean sci-fi like Pandorum or lighter genre thrills like Ghosts of Mars.
Pros: haunting ship designs; steady dread; engaging cast | Cons: gore turns heavy; story gaps; some flaws late
