Was the Event Horizon ever really a spaceship… or was it Hell itself? We break down one of our favorite movie theories yet, uncovering the hidden religious symbolism, the cathedral-inspired production design, the recurring eye imagery, the coffin-shaped doorways, and why the gravity drive may completely change how you see the movie. Plus behind-the-scenes stories, practical effects, and our filmmaker vs. doctor breakdown.
