Fans’ theories can go from the plausible and most likely, like “the Pixar Connected” universe “or” Elsa and Anna’s Brother is Tarzan “, in the incredible,” Wilford by Snowpiercer is Wily Wonka “or” Jar Jar Binks is a Sith “, but there is one that is so perfect, it must be true: Event horizon takes place in the Warhammer 40K universe. This theory makes sense from the start, when the spaceship holds its gravity engine and moves through a nightmare dimension full of demons and cosmic horrors. This is exactly how ships are traveling in the world of Warhammer 40K, and this is only the start of connections.
The event horizon has traveled the chain
Event Horizon Takes up after the ship mysteriously reappears after having gone disappeared for years, with the whole dead crew, and as revealed by the captain’s newspaper, it is the crew themselves that has transformed and killed himself. The captain, having torn off his own eyeballs, issues a warning, in Latin of course, to “save hell”. It is a horrible bloody sequence filled with fast violence flashes that make it difficult to concentrate, and the first time you see the film, it is difficult to understand what you see.
The rescue crew ends up giving in to madness spread themselves, or rather Dr Weir (Sam NeillThe perfect star for a film on cosmic horror), the designer of the Horizon event, becomes crazy and must be deposited by Captain Miller of the rescue ship (Laurence Fishburne). And it is, but after being sucked in space, Weir returns after kissing the strange and bizarre dimension similar to hell, and he taunts Miller, showing him visions of the dimension of hell. It is a dark and disturbing moment, but it is also an incredible live representation of Warhammer 40ks The Warp, a strange dimension in which time and space do not make sense, which happens to be filled with demons and, in the world of Games Workshop, is used by humanity as an intergalactic superhighway.
The influence of chaos
The chain is a dangerous dimension that exists outside the quadrudial space, but it can also be navigated by psychic humans called navigators that use astronomic, a massive psychic tag water that you consider as a transdimensional lighthouse, to stay safe. In Event horizonLocated in 2048, it is the engine of experimental gravity that removes the ship from our reality and in the chain, which makes it the first experience of humanity with chaos Deamons and horrors that are hidden outside our universe. These dangers include the gods of Chaos, Tzeentch, Khorne, Nurgle and Slaanesh, and surprisingly, Paul WS Anderson science fiction The horror even implies the influence of these beings on the original crew of the ship.
While the Lewis and Clark rescue crew is watching the video of the original captain, it is clear that the crew is killing (it would be Khorne, the blood god, encouraging slaughter and destruction), but at the same time, it is clear that Slaanesh, the Prince of Pleasure, is involved because part of the crew “appreciating” themselves. The other two, Tzeentch and Nurgle, may be seated this one, but Event horizon Includes another style that affects Warhammer 40K technology. Weir implies during the rear half of the film that the ship itself became possessed by a symbolical spirit, and of course, it is a large part of the Warhammer 40K frame where humanity believes that the spirits of the machines fuel all the machines. ]]
Machine spirits
In the sinister darkness of the distant future of Warhammer 40K, technology is incredibly advanced, but also strangely primitive, with priests of technology rubbing ointments and saying prayers on military vehicles before going to war to embrace the spirits of the machine inside. Residents of distortion are able to have technology and infect by their own democratic spirits, giving players the possibility of using twisted versions of the imperium of man’s own weapons against them. If it looks exactly like what happens to the ship Event horizonWell, that’s another reason why it is secretly a 40k Warhammer film.
THE Event horizon Fans theory is perhaps not even a fans theory and is rather confirmed thanks to the screen writer Philip Eisner comments on Twitter in 207 that “I played the sh * t on 40k, so it was definitively an influence, conscious or other.” Writers who continued to work at Games Workshop to help shape the universe made the favor, with an attempt to appoint the ship to one of the official game codex, but the United Kingdom based company prevented it from being printed. However, it is a commentary directly of the spirit twisted behind the film that the Gothic frame of the classic table game of the miniature game had an impact on the film.
Horizon event is a 40k Warhammer gateway
When Henry Cavill and Amazon Give life to Warhammer 40K, it will not look like Event horizonBut there is no doubt that, intentionally or not, the 1997 science fiction horror is the ideal complementary piece of the Grimdark Future franchise. If you like the film, there are several black library novels that you should check, starting with Xenos By Dan Abnett, the first of Eisenhorn’s novels, which is not as bloody and horrible as the film, but he nails the dark and disturbing feeling of something very, very bad that the first half of the film is so well.
THE Event horizon/ Warhammer 40K fans theory has existed since the film’s release for the first time, more than a decade after the game workshop Rogue merchantThe first game taking place in the 40k world. It was a sustainable fans theory because it honors the film and the game franchise, and it does not ask for it, and simply says: “Hey, it would be really cool.” The best theories of fans are just that, they are fun, but this time, the horror film of Sam Neill is also a perfect introduction to the way in which the Warhammer 40k adjustment can be crazy, and taking into account the management of a competitive army of 3000 well painted points, which could be the most horrible part of the film.
