Trivia
Paul W.S. Anderson's initial cut of the film ran 130 minutes, and was so violent that both test audiences and the studio baulked at the finished product. Paramount ordered him to cut the film by 30 minutes and tone down some of the violence. Anderson has said he didn't have enough time for a proper re-edit, and believes he cut out 10 minutes too much. Although it was announced in 2012 that producer Lloyd Levin had found a VHS tape that might contain a full version of the film, Anderson revealed in 2017 that neither he nor Levin had seen it yet, as they have both been too busy to be in the same country with a VHS player. Although he believes that the condition of the copy will be too poor to use, Anderson has stated that he is still excited to see what's on it.

Errores
(at around 53 mins) When Justin is ejected into outer space, his veins immediately start to burst and bleed heavily. This isn't very likely to happen in the short time that he is exposed to the vacuum of space. Parts of the body will probably start to bulge due to the lack of atmospheric pressure, and there will probably be some subcutaneous bleeding from ruptured blood vessels, but the human skin is thought to be resilient enough to stay intact. Also, the blood that leaves his body remains liquid; in reality, it would boil and evaporate instantly due to the lack of pressure. Not everything about the scene is unrealistic: the fact that he remained conscious is probably correct (most adults would remain conscious for 10-20 seconds), as well as the fact that he does not freeze (although deep space is extremely cold, the lack of gas molecules makes it difficult for body heat to leave the body).

Citas
D.J.: I wasn't going to tell you this. I've been listening to the distress signal, and I, um, think I made a mistake in the translation.
[Plays the distress signal]
Miller: Go on.
D.J.: I thought it said "liberate me" - "save me." But it's not "me." It's "liberate tutemet" - "save yourself." And it gets worse.
[Plays the distress signal again]
D.J.: There - I think that says "ex inferis." "Save yourself... from Hell." Look, if what Doctor Weir tells us is true, this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been, what it's seen... or what it's brought back with it?
Miller: From Hell? You don't believe in that kind of stuff, do you?
D.J.: Whoever sent that message, he sure believed in Hell.

Créditos curiosos
The opening credits are sucked into a black hole. The screen viewpoint pans upward, above, and over the regular Paramount mountain before the opening credits, which usually remains stationary and then fades out.

Versiones alternativas
Two versions were produced, the theatrical release and a "rough cut." Runtimes were, respectively, "1h 36m (96 min)" and "2h 10m (130 min) (rough cut)".

Space Madness!

For context, I'm not a big horror guy, so I usually stick with the older movies; the effects tend to be a bit old-fashioned and it diminishes the shock value. That didn't help a whole lot with this movie though.

It's all fun 'n games and '90s sci-fi until the crew actually reaches the Event Horizon - not so much a derelict as it is a demonic spacecraft. After that, it kinda feels like being trapped in an asylum. I don't care who you are, you're never really ready for the sight of a human being with no eyeballs (hats off to the makeup department on that one). To that end, who among us ever thinks "terrifying" at the mention of Sam Neill? Well, he certainly is here!

I think the real surprise (for me) was the extent to which self-harm was a real scare factor. To be blown out of an airlock or hunted by a creature, yeah those are expected hazards of deep space. But all of the cutting really bothered me.

The movie's twenty-five years old and it had me rattled. That's impressive.
