Day 2: Pandorum (2009)

“You’re all that’ s left metformin hcl and pregnancy of us. Good luck, God bless, and godspeed.”

In the vein of Event Horizon (and the videogame, Dead Space), Pandorum delves into the idea of space madness. Christian Alvart’s deep-space creeper stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster as two members of colonial ship en route to a would-be new home after fleeing from a post-apocalyptic Earth.

Day 1: Hellraiser (1987)

“I thought I’d gone to the limits.  I hadn’t.  The Cenobites gave me an experience beyond limits… pain and pleasure, indivisible.” – Frank Cotton.

The first time I saw Hellraiser, it scared the crap out of me.  It was unlike any horror film I had seen in that it took a monster who was complete fantasy and made it seem very visceral and very real.  And what I couldn’t stop thinking was who was the sick, twisted person who came up with this story.
