Paul W.S. Anderson's initial cut of the film ran 130 minutes, and was so violent that both test audiences and the studio balked at the finished product. Paramount ordered him to cut the film by 30 minutes and tone down some of the violence. Anderson has said he didn't have enough time for a proper re-edit, and believes he cut out 10 minutes too much. Although it was announced in 2012 that producer Lloyd Levin had found a VHS tape that might contain a full version of the film, Anderson revealed in 2017 that neither he nor Levin had seen it yet, as they have both been too busy to be in the same country with a VHS player. Although he believes that the condition of the copy will be too poor to use, Anderson has stated that he is still excited to see what's on it.
(at around 5 mins) The rotational shot of the space station over earth took nearly a third of the film's visual effects budget.
The script originally described the Gateway machine as a smooth and featureless black orb, 10 meters (nearly 33 feet) in diameter, suspended in midair between large, rotating mechanical arms. It also was said to contain a stable black hole within it at all times (which the ship used as a power source), as opposed to briefly creating a temporary one. Paul W.S. Anderson decided to redesign it to involve interlocking circles as a homage to the puzzle box in Hellraiser (1987), which served as an inspiration.
Although the film met with mostly negative reviews and a disappointing box office result at the time of its release, it amassed a considerable cult following over the years. Director Paul W.S. Anderson said that the movie's cult status was predicted to him years before by Kurt Russell. Anderson screened Event Horizon before they started work on Soldier (1998), and Russell said "Forget about what this movie's doing now. In fifteen years time, this is going to be the movie you're glad you made".
The 'Visions from Hell' and the ship's video log were inspired by works from 16th-century Renaissance painters Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel, which director Paul W.S. Anderson saw while he was touring art galleries with his production designer. Anderson was fascinated by these paintings, as the makers clearly believed in the reality of Hell as the complete antithesis of Heaven, and the images they created were terrifying and beautiful at the same time. Anderson said that these scenes were filmed at the end of production with a smaller unit, so studio executives probably never bothered to screen them beforehand, thinking they were just insert shots. He stated that when the executives saw a screening of a rough edit, they were very shocked, and some even fainted: "This was the studio that made Star Trek, so I think [..] they kind of thought it was like Star Trek again but with a bit more violence or something. I don't think they were really expecting what they got."
"D.J.: I wasn't going to tell you this. I've been listening to the distress signal, and I, um, think I made a mistake in the translation. [Plays the distress signal] Miller: Go on. D.J.: I thought it said "liberate me" - "save me." But it's not "me." It's "liberate tutemet" - "save yourself." And it gets worse. [Plays the distress signal again] D.J.: There - I think that says "ex inferis." "Save yourself... from Hell." Look, if what Doctor Weir tells us is true, this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality. Who knows where it's been, what it's seen... or what it's brought back with it? Miller: From Hell? You don't believe in that kind of stuff, do you? D.J.: Whoever sent that message, he sure believed in Hell."
"Miller: Weir? Dr. Weir: [laughing] The ship brought me back. I told you she won't let me leave - she won't let anyone leave. Did you really think you could destroy this ship? She's defied space and time. She's been to a place you couldn't possibly imagine. And now... it is time to go back. Miller: [sounding bored] I know. To hell. Dr. Weir: You know nothing. Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse."
