You. Hello. I'm Billips Allen. I'm a film critic and author of the book 101 Films You Could See Before You Die. And this is off the Marquee, where we spend a minute with a movie you might consider revisiting. Horror and Sci-Fi tropes blend nicely together in the 1997 sleeper Sci-Fi thriller Event Horizon. In the film, Sam Neal portrays Dr. William Weir, an engineer returning to the decayed orbit of a shippy design called the Event Horizon. Weir is being escorted by the crew of the Lewis and Clark, an excavation ship helmed by Captain S. J. Miller, portrayed by Lawrence Fishburn. The weathered crew face vivid delirium as the Lewis and Clark approaches the Event Horizon. Once they board the derelict ship, the mystery evolves. Fishburn's cool in a crisis demeanor is the perfect counter to Neil's unique brand of histrionic acting. In this clip, Captain Miller tries to get information about the state of the ship, but Weir is obviously hiding something.

Gravitational distortion. What could create that, doctor?

If somehow a burst of gravity waves escaped from the core could distort space time, it could make Justin seem to disappear, could also have damaged the Lewis and Clark. However, I think this is entirely unlikely.

What's in the core, doctor?

It's complicated.

Well, how much time do you need? We have 17 hours and 48 minutes. What's in the core?

Event Horizon's frightening imagery and terrific ensemble cast make the film stand out and creates a reward old school Sci-Fi experience. I'm Billab Salon, and this has been off the marquee. You're listening to 91.7 W yxr.
