Event Horizon is STILL Disturbing

I actually couldn't revisit this film for over ten years because it ruined my childhood so hard. Of course, the rewatch (which only happened last year) was nothing like the first time - it wasn't as scary, as well made, or even serious as I remembered. That's fair. It happens. BUT I thought that it's a film that didn't age like milk (huge asterisk there), and that there are more clever tricks up its sleeve than I realized initially, especially when it comes to the 'lighting'. Today, we're going to talk about Paul W.S. Anderson's forgotten gem, Event Horizon (1997), how it uses different premises and techniques to build and maintain tension, and why it is STILL a disturbing film.
