Event Horizon
I saw it mentioned on here a couple weeks ago as a lesser known horror film (or something along those lines) so watch it last night. I always assumed it was another of those sci-fi disaster movies from the late 90s and had no idea what it actually is. I won't spoil it for anyone else but it's great and I wish I'd watch it all those years ago.
The Long Walk
It was over before I knew it but in a good way. It was either over the top wholesomeness or brutality but either way I gave it my whole attention till the end.
I know almost nothing about The Long Walk aside from it's a Stephen King story, and the kid who played the synth from Romulus is in it.
Event Horizon fucking rules.
I felt like The Long Walk was so just fundamentally flawed, in that the entire movie is about them trying to help other participants, knowing full well that if that person lives, they themselves will die. Like why did they sign up if they had no intention of winning? It's as if they're trying to help their friends cross a finish line. Except there is no finish line. You just keep going until the last man stands. Then they're all shocked and angry when someone dies. Like they didn't know it was going to happen to 99% of everyone at the starting line. Then they're all chanting "fuck the long walk", as if someone forced them to be there. It just makes no sense.
