10 Best Horror Movies Set In Space

10. Event Horizon

Though not initially beloved upon its 1997 release, Paul W. S. Anderson's Event Horizon has found a second wind in recent years.

Starring the likes of Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, the movie is about a group of astronauts who rescue a stricken spacecraft only to find more inside than they bargained for.

To be fair, if you're going to end up stuck in space with a bunch of monsters, then Morpheus and Dr. Alan Grant are some pretty decent teammates.

Described as "The Shining but in space" by some critics, Event Horizon is crammed with creative monster designs, spine-chilling music, and truly disturbing scenes. Not nearly as disturbing as the initial response to the movie was, because people hated it when it first came out.

The film's original runtime was a whopping 130 minutes, so Paramount made some serious edits to the project behind Anderson's back. Some blame this for why Event Horizon suffered as badly as it did, because it was devoid of its creator's true vision.

Still, people have come around to it, which is all that matters. Even if they did take about two decades to do so.
