Where'd the ship go, and what did it bring back? A huge, slobbering monster? Scorpionman 18:04, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- It brought back nothing more than what Hell is believed to be in the Abrahamic faiths. The pure essence of evil (Being a Christian yourself, you should be familiar with this concept). It relied entirely on bringing the crew's bad memories to life, and from there could cause them endless torment. No huge slobbering monster needed, just the monster that lies inside everyone.

- I haven't seen the movie (nor do I intend to); I put this comment here before the full summary was placed on the page. Whatever it is, however, it seems to be slobbering, and I suspect that since it's from Hell it's a demon. Scorpionman 17:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Recommend Renaming
Recommend renaming the Event Horizon movie page to avoid confusion with the Event horizon to do with Black Holes. Currently, the only difference is the capitalization of the H in Horizon.
- This talk page should get moved to Talk:Event Horizon (film) to match the article move. --68.142.13.105 17:05, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Warhammer 40,000
The article shoudl mention the table top game and fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000
The "warp" being "hell" is the main plot of Warhammer 40,000. In WH40k universe, human ships travel trought "warp-hell" to achieve faster-than-light speed. In order to avoid being destroyed by demons, human ships use "reality shields" or "extasis shields". Sometimes those broke or fail, with horrendous consecuences for the crew. Nostromus had the tech to enter the warp, but was not protected by a "reality shield".
- Explain "horrendous consequences". Warp demons infiltrate the ship, turn all the crew into horrible monsters, and when the ship re-enters normal space, its warped beyond recognition by the ruinous powers of Chaos? CABAL 20:16, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Basically. See the intro in Chaos (Warhammer) and Immaterium (Warhammer 40,000). The latter notes the similarity between WH40k's warp and Event Horizon's. --68.142.14.63 02:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah but not exclusivly to 40K; Event Horizon is a classic Frankenstien story. There is no clear link between EH and 40K beyond 'Gee-that's similar to...'

- I disagree. The EH (ship) was made by man, but was turned "evil" by warp space/Hell/whatever. While the Frankenstein monster was also made by man, it was turned evil by man. Frankenstein is about us, but EH is about an external force. The similarility is how, specifically, that force is from "warp space," is utterly malevolent, and corrupts those who go there. --68.142.14.6 13:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC) (the previous signed anonymous)
cleanup
Two plot summaries/blow-by-blow accounts have been written for this page; I have started to drag them into a coherent whole. Also we probably need a non-spoiler synopsis at the start.
