Oh that's a fun choice for a first video!

Paul

A banger horror / sci-fi for sure, excited to check it out

Harry Broos

Maybe try 1987s Prince of Darkness, not the greatest movie, but the premise is pretty scary

Ryan

What a great first movie! For me this one has always been scarier than the sum of its parts. It's a collection of '90s tropes, but they're executed well and it doesn't overstay its welcome. (I feel the same way about the underrated Cube, which I'd rank above this.) Sam Neill's delivery of "I am home" scared the shit out of me on my first viewing and made me glad I was in a dorm room with friends. Also, the 1995 Mortal Kombat was a great example of a movie where everyone understood the assignment.

Great story, cinematography, set design, pyro work. I always thought the concept of this film was really interesting- going into a dimension of pure evil while trying to fold space. Josh, I enjoyed your reaction and thoughts on the film. I do have a suggestion I’d like to make that I think would benefit the audience and yourself. While your lighting is nice and even, I think it’s too bright. Especially when watching dark films, the contrast between watching the film and your reaction is extreme. If you dimmed your main light and/or used some light bouncing techniques to diffuse the light on your face, I think that might help make a more pleasing viewing experience. You could leave the background dim or cast some warm toned colors on the shelves. Not a deal breaker for me but I think it’d give you more premium look and be easier on the eyes. Thanks for the free membership for a couple of months, very generous of you and it’s appreciated. Would love to see your reaction to any Stanley Kubrick films you haven’t seen- perhaps Dr. Strangelove, Eyes Wide Shut, Barry Lyndon? 🖖

MrDeadstu

Good start with this movie, got no respect when it came out.

Target Audience

I have seen Strangelove, but Eyes Wide Shut could be a good one!

Rocky hate Mark

This is considered unofficially part of the Warhammer 40K universe by fans of the franchise.

Ken R

This could be where the movie wheel movies get watched!

Paul

I love the fan theory that this is a Warhammer prequel story. Absolutely brilliant.

SetsunaYuki

They filmed some fucked up stuff for this movie. Suffice to say that the original cut was never going to be released, it was so disturbing that it could only some tiny pieces could be kept in flashes.

Danula2

Hey Josh! Great start to your reaction channel! I remember watching this movie with my bestie at midnight back in 1999 and being throughly freaked out. She was fully expecting Satan to rise from the back seat of her car on her drive home after the movie. Also, I loved that they played “Funky Shit” by The Prodigy during the end credits (I’m a huge fan of mid- to late-90’s electronica). As for movie reaction suggestions, I would suggest “The Joy Luck Club” (1993) and “The Client” (1994). Neither of them would probably never be on TA. However, I would still love to see your reactions and analysis to either of these movies.

Ken R

Never heard of this movie, its RT score is not very promising

Michael Nemo

Saw this in the theater. Amazing score by Michael Kamen and Orbital. I love it when films have composers AND bands come together to produce a monster musical piece. The same with David Lynch's DUNE where Toto and Brian Eno come together. FLASH GORDON by Howard Blake and Queen is another example. And later to some degree you have LABYRINTH with Trevor Jones and David Bowie partnering up.

Michael Nemo

Currently on comic book stands is a prequel series that just finished set right before the film and then later in April 2026 will be AN ACTUAL SEQUEL to the film in comic form. Reception has been good with multiple printings.

Found it very scary when I was young, less so aw an adult. But I don't think its a bad movie by any means

paultardspambot .

have seen it online. Honestly the movie cut was better. The original was just longer scenes of the hell sequences but making them shorter makes them scarier. It's nothing compared to something like "The Sadness"

paultardspambot .

no, the ending is the lifeboat returns to earth and the three survivors get rescued. The dream was just a last minute fake freakout. The gate was destroyed.

The idea that "nothing" is happening, this is the kind of movie where the scares are suggestive till they build towards the climax. I don't think an earlier bodycount or tangible monsters is necesary for an effective horror movie. This is kind of the thing sometimes where it seems like you might have certain preferences going in for what you want out of a horror movie (or sci-fi) that I wouldn't say are agreed upon valuing of tropes but more a matter of personal preference. Which of course reviews are that but.... I understand what you mean because there is a plethora of by the numbers horror and setting up fake jump scares is part of that. I am a horror fan but very discerning and like psychological horror and mostly hate "by the numbers horror", music cues leading to jump scares or fake jump scares, plot cliches, haunted houses, evil children, slashers. But withint that I don't feel like I need tangible monsters or deaths to make it effective. I'm going to recommend Resolution as a very good "different" kind of horror movie with great characterization which has a great sequel "The Endless." The premise is that a married man gets a video from his former best friend who is a meth addict of the friend losing it at a cabin. The man goes to the cabing and tazes his best friend and handcuffs him to the wall, saying he's going to wait til he goes through withdrawl to let him decide soberly if he wants to go to rehab. The character dynamics are great and the situation is intersting enough. But they are in a cabin in native land in southern new mexico. And its a very strange place with weird, threatening people in the area ). As various situations and hostile locals add stress to the already tense situation, tapes of the two start appearing indicating that someone has been watching and filiming them and the main character starts becoming fascinated/obsessed with the leftovers from french students who used the cabin for a research project into native folklore (and other things) who disappeared. This is an example of a movie where one might say "nothing happens" for a long time, as in no deaths or monsters,. but it's incredibly atmospheric and compelling as the core of the story is about these two former best friends and their stand off and history, with the atmosphere being increasingly creepy and foreboding but not conventionally "scary" as in jump scares (ok, maybe one but its effective) and takes some things that understand difference circumstances would be tropy but work in this context as the main character has to deal with these increasingly dangerous threats while his friend is unreliable and just focused on getting out so he can get his meth. The sequel, "The Endless" explains much of what happens in the first movie but uses the universe to tell a very different story that is barely horror at all featuring different characfers who are dealing with something that was only a minor part of the first movie till we understand the deeper connection. If you like that, I have a lot of "good" horror movies that are psychological and heavily character focused.

When I originally saw this it was when DS9 was running and I like to imagince the captain as an ancestor to Sisko because his character was similar in some ways and they look enough alike that if you had to recast Sisko Fishbourne could work. Also the connection between the wormhole/prophets and the artifical wormhole here to the hell dimension.

I think something to keep in mind about movies is their intended audience. For me, this was a movie I saw in eight grade and it was very effective then. There are movies that are targetd towards a teen audience (this is less so nowadays but it was definitely a thing in the 90s) that are just "meh" for adults and I think thats something to consider. I sometimes see reveiws of kids movies by adults, and while I think you can do that, it can be hard to really engage with a movie through that lens. There were movies where it was still novel to aim to both please kids and the adults watching, but that has become its own cliche and while that trend has faded, those types of movies started getting awful. Bit of a tangent, but I do think there are things that have different impacts at different ages. I feel a lot of Stephen King books, especially the earlier ones, really "hit" right for younger people. I still feel like reading "IT" at 15 was one of my top reading experiences, and I "felt" everything there, even "that" scene that made sense to me to me at that age while its probably uneasy for adults (and it felt so honest to how things feel at that time, putting it in an adult context, youve lost the ability to understand without all the filters youve acquired. Reading "Salem's Lot" scared me as a seventh grader where I would lie awake thinking about the window of my bedroom and something tapping on kit.

I just saw this movie for the first time a few weeks ago and man, it fcked me up. Like some of the scenes were so messed up, even in 2026 I found them to be hard to watch. I was very pleasantly surprised by the film so I hope you are, too!
