Event Horizon

Finally, here we have a movie that’s much more appropriate to Halloween. Sure, it’s a science-fiction movie but that doesn’t really change anything. Event Horizon is a splatter-shocker-horror-movie, plain and simple. Event Horizon stars Laurence Fishburne (in the role of … Continue reading

Mars Attacks!
