60 of 394 · most liked firstMy favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

Eye trauma, space trauma, and an amazing set piece with the spinning blades and rotating core. Who else loves this one?
positive · AI labelView post →Now rewatching Event Horizon (1997)! 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →Event Horizon holds up WAY better than I thought it would. Just a gorgeous and outstandingly original and creepy movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Event Horizon and two things stand out. First is that the movie has aged remarkably well. The other is that as an engineer and scientist, when your technological wonder ship is powered by arcane panels and torture rings in a sphere filled with spikes, you may have made some design errors.
positive · AI labelView post →When I was a kid I taped tons of stuff off the TV. Imagine my surprise when I popped in one of my many tapes labeled “Space Ghost” and watched a few episodes when suddenly it switches to a movie I had no recollection of recording. Anyway that’s how I first saw Event Horizon, RIP Sam Neill.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Sam Neill tributes will rightly focus on his achievements in Jurassic Park, The Piano, Hunt For the Wilderpeople etc. But he also gave what I think are three of the greatest horror movie performances of all time: Possession (1981), In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) and Event Horizon (1997) .

neutral · AI labelView post →When filming Event Horizon Sam Neill demanded that the Union Jack be taken out of the Australian flag and be replaced with the Aboriginal one making the film a part of anti-colonial history
neutral · AI labelView post →Actor Sam Neill had that idea when he played an Australian astronaut in the film "Event Horizon" (1997) set in 2047. He asked for that design, saying he thought by 2047 Australia would celebrate its Indigenous history. #InvasionDay
neutral · AI labelView post →Sam Neill truly was a legend. One of my favourite movie details is the patch on his sleeve in Event Horizon which he requested because he was a supporter of Aboriginal rights.
neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, so this is crazy. 🤯 In Event Horizon, a film from 1997, Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform be replaced with a photo of Lionel Messi bathing the baby Lamine Yamal, the way he thought it should look in 2047! 👏👏👏
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie app: “Watch again:” Me: “Watch again? Why would I watch the same thing again? There’s too much to watch here and there ñ isn’t even my only movie app! Watch again. Get outta my face with that.” Also me: Watching Event Horizon for the 7,419th time.
positive · AI labelView post →Roz has truly MAGNIFICENT hair. Meanwhile, Frasier’s hairline was the inspiration for the 1997 horror film “Event Horizon.” And yet, against all odds, I love this damn show.

neutral · AI labelView post →🎬 29 years ago today (August 15, 1997) the claustrophobic Horror/Sci-Fi film "Event Horizon" premiered in Canada and the US! Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, it stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, Joely Richardson, Richard T. Jones & Jack Noseworthy. #Horror #16mmInferno
neutral · AI labelView post →I've drawn this thing 5 times now and it's only JUST dawned on me how huge it is and how little is seen in the film, which is great - leaves plenty of room to explore! Event Horizon: Dark Descent by @cjward.bsky.social @pipmartin.bsky.social and myself comes out in August from @idwpublishing.com
neutral · AI labelView post →I've never had a Favorite Movie, but I'm pretty sure Jurassic Park and Event Horizon have most frequently been the two closest things to it. The Sam Neill film fest also includes one minute of him playing Double False Odin while Anthony Hopkins plays Loki playing Original False Odin

neutral · AI labelView post →About Event Horizon (1997) Sam Neill: "It's funny how often that film comes up of all the films I've made. And it's not that it did particularly well. But people seem to have seen it and it just sort of sears itself into their imagination or something."
neutral · AI labelView post →Like, EVENT HORIZON is his best movie by kind of a lot!

neutral · AI labelView post →Beloved actor Sam Neill (1947-2026) has died. Adored him in so many films, esp. "Jurassic Park", "The Dish", "Hunt for the Wilderpeople". In "Event Horizon" set in 2047, he asked for this 👇 Australian flag design, saying he thought by then Australia would celebrate its Indigenous history.
neutral · AI labelView post →More and more, I am certain we are living in the Event Horizon universe. That movie was sent back as a warning

neutral · AI labelView post →Ok, I rewatched Event Horizon (top notch space horror) last night, and my horror moots, I’m convinced it’s secretly part of the Hellraiser universe. I was thinking, wow, the gravity drive reminds me of a giant cenobite puzzle box, and then I watched from that reference frame… 1/

neutral · AI labelView post →Sam Niell will forever be one of my favorite horror movie actors. Event Horizon and In the Mouth of Madness are for the ages. You'll will be missed, Sam, but thanks for everything you gave us.
neutral · AI labelView post →What a CV. Damien Thorn, Event Horizon, The Dish, Jurassic Park, Hunt for the Wilderpeople. THE PIANO. One of those actors whose mere presence made it a better film.
neutral · AI labelView post →In memory of Sam Neill, we just watched Event Horizon. I haven't seen this movie in like, 20 years. It's CRAZY how much Dead Space took from this film. What a batshit flick 😭

neutral · AI labelView post →Event Horizon is (I'm told) a deeply flawed film but I absolutely loved it and it scared the shit out of me as a teenager. Neill was brilliant in it. Glad to see it represented here.
positive · AI labelView post →Honestly last nights screening of Event Horizon was one of my favourite events ever . If at 21 after watching Event Horizon opening night & thinking ‘Now that’s my shit’ I’d known I’d be official involved with film 28 years layer I’d have lost my mind. Lots of gratitude and joy to have this life.
positive · AI labelView post →Just rewatched Event Horizon after many years. I forgot what a great and creepy film it is!
positive · AI labelView post →Paul W.S. Anderson's Event Horizon isn't a perfect movie, but it's pretty great, in spite of what you might have heard! Let's reconsider the sci fi horror film that was pitched as "The Shining in space"! reactormag.com/event-horizo...
neutral · AI labelView post →Goodbye and Godspeed to Sam Neill, who, despite Jurassic Park, I still first associate with those mad TV miniseries of the 1980s. And Event Horizon which was a mad ride of a film I will never watch again. A lovely man. He'll be much missed.
neutral · AI labelView post →Event Horizon has always been my Sam Neil film. Still fascinating to watch, if you never had the chance. What a haunting presence.
positive · AI labelView post →Event Horizon is IMO the type of mid budget movie that we now so sorely lack, and it was remarkable in its era
positive · AI labelView post →one thing I always loved about Sam Neill: he respected the horror film. Possession, The Omen III, Dead Calm, In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, Daybreakers, and three dinosaur movies.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Set two centuries after the events of Paul W.S. Anderson’s 1997 sci-fi horror film, comic miniseries Event Horizon: Inferno is gearing up for takeoff."

positive · AI labelView post →Event Horizon. Or In the Mouth of Madness. Really, any Sam Neill horror film tends to go pretty hard.
neutral · AI labelView post →The film EVENT HORIZON has an incredible first act. Unfortunately it also has a second and third act as well.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think we should have an Event Horizon. Like the film? I think doing what they did in that film would solve a lot of problems here.
