| “ | I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive! Look at her, Miller. Isn't she beautiful? | „ |

The Event Horizon is a dimension-warping spaceship that was possessed by an evil force and the main setting of the titular sci-fi horror film of the same name.
Sometime in the mid-21st century, ship called the Event Horizon was designed and built by a scientist named Dr. William Weir. It was a ship that was capable of faster-than-light travel using an artificial black hole to open a portal from one part of the universe to another. On its maiden voyage in 2040, the ship was thought to be lost. But in reality, it used its faster than light engine to travel beyond the boundaries of our dimension to another dimension - only to run into a world of pure chaos and evil called by its Latin name "Tenebris" (likely Hell itself - whether it really was hell or not is up to viewers' interpretation as the movie purposely left it vague). Under the influence of "Hell" which also called "The Dark", the entire crew of Event Horizon went homicidally unhinged; torturing, raping, and mutilating each other to death in a big mad orgy.
In the year 2047, it returned to solar system, now a self-aware, haunted, and malevolent ship. It appeared in a decaying orbit around NeptuneA crew was ordered to go to Event Horizon with Dr. Weir and find out what happened, find the crew, and bring the ship back to Earth. What happened instead was after Neptune. A crew of the Lewis and Clark space vessel discovered the horrid truth regarding the fate of Event Horizon's crews, the ship used its telepathic abilities to use the crew's fears against them, killing them in the process. It used the form of Dr. Weir's dead wife to seduce him into assisting it.
After a fight with the rescue crew captain Miller who was the only person simultaneously not succumbed to the ship's influence and was in any shape or form to put up resistance, the Event Horizon was partially destroyed, sending the drive section of the ship back to the Hell dimension with Dr. Weir and the Captain, leaving only 3 survivors (Cooper, Justin and Starck) in the lifeboat part of the ship - with the implication of Starck to suffer PTSD.

Trivia[]
- The circumstance of the Event Horizon is similar to the Warhammer 40k universe about what happens when a space ship enter the Warp without the Gellar Field. As such, some consider the movie to be an unofficial prequel to Warhammer 40k.
- The dimension the ship traveled to is similar to the Immaterium where Chaos Gods and demons reside.
- The film's initial script revealed that demonic forces that take over the titular ships are tentacled alien-like creatures but eventually scrapped due to being deemed too similar with that of Xenomorph infestation from Alien series.
