See, this the thing about "Event Horizon"...it was so obviously a take-off of Stanislaw Lem's "Polaris", only the hallucinations of Polaris were exchanged for the schlock horror of EH. That's why I hated that one...it had promise, but they dumbed it down so much it was horrible.
On the other hand, I haven't seen Polaris (the original or the George Clooney one that came out a few years back) so I'm not sure how that one played out...but still, Polaris as a book worked because it was so obviously SF.
