I’m not necessarily surprised this one didn’t get a sequel, but I really wish it had!
Event Horizon (1997)
It was apparently too intense for test audiences, and this was in the pre-DVD-special-features era when no one bothered to keep cut footage. Maybe they cut too much. I watched it recently because I had heard fantastic things and I was just… generally unimpressed. It was an interesting concept that really wasn’t very well explored, and the writing was so stiff.
I like the fan theory that Event Horizon is a prequel of sorts to the Warhammer universe.
The theory is basically that in 40k ftl works by sending the ship through the warp (hell). Humans use a Gellar field to keep a bubble of reality around the ship while in the warp. The theory is this is humanities firstf tll so they don’t know they need a Gellar field.
It’s fun but other then the ftl is hell doesn’t fit at all with the rest of 40k lore.
