I remain convinced that Event Horizon is a 40k Prequel
Its not.
@@Dr.Westside Why not?
It sure sounds like the Warp.
I think everyone who is a fan of both are of that conviction.
Hellraiser fans say it's part of their universe too
"The first rule of space travel is to always check out distress beacons. Nine out of ten times it's a ship full of dead aliens and a bunch of free sh*t. One out of ten times it's deadly trap, but I'm ready to roll those dice."
classic rick move
Stop sending civilians to check these out. That's what Space Marines are for.
Generation films is just trying to hord all that salvage to themselves
The first rule of space travel is to take the batteries out of the ship's distress beacon detector before any flight.
I see you are a man of culture as well.
Dangerous derelict ship to board: Literally every Space Hulk in 40k.
Damn Genestealers
For you, it was the most terrifying and horrific experience of your life. For the Deathwing, it was Tuesday.
Exterminatis! For the Emporer!
Tyranids: It’s free real estate
Brother, get the Flamer... The HEAVY Flamer
Never mess around with anything abandoned by the Norwegians -- has "The Thing" taught us nothing? It will always end badly.
Those crazy Swedes.
@@josephmassaro Norwegians, Mac...
Nice choice.
Just think about what would have happened, if that ship had crashed into ancient amazonas instead of eternal ice. Before anything would have had the chance to adapt against this mimickry amoeba, the whole planet would have turned into a monstrosity.
@@josephmassaro Norweigians, Joe.
Space hulks: no matter what side you are on you are going to have a bad day
na orks love it
Jimmy Karlsson damn beat me to it
unless your a faction already on the space hulk
Orks and genestealers like to infest those things. Also, the imperium sends Marines in terminator armor to clear the space hulks out.
@@lordcastellan4735, not just clear them out, blow them up so they are no longer as dangerous to the space lanes or planets they may come across.
Has anyone else heard the theory that the hellish dimension the Event Horizon travels to is actually the warp from Warhammer 40k?
Just like "The Man from Earth" could be a movie about the emperor. Both are good pre dark age of technology unofficial 40k movies ;-)
It's pretty much been adopted by the 40K fandom at this point. The only thing missing is not being able to tell where the crew starts and the ship ends, because more often than not you're going to end up melded with the bulkheads due to warp fuckery.
Seemd more like the Hellraiserworld to me...
@@theblackgoatofthewoods it can be both
@@BlooCollaGal Hellraiser could just be one of slaaneshes bitches.
As The Thing also taught us, the Norwegians are doing their best to keep the rest of humanity safe. They put their station in space for a reason, don't touch it.
They're truly the most dedicated to keeping things safe.
2 of the 8 ships involved Laurence Fishburne....so not to follow him into an abandoned ship would be sound advice.
I was wondering if anyone would bring that up. Event Horizon, Predators, The Colony... God bless him, but I wouldn't follow him into a toy store now.
He helped save the day in passengers
Debatable if neo should have followed him too now you mention it.
@@sike2399 "...Into a toy store..." I want that movie now :D
Heh, "The Colony", I'd forgotten all about that little gem.👍
9:04 -"Something must have malfunctioned for the ship to return to our own solar system." Every 40K fan: The Gellar Field.
Every 40k fan: *whispering* "dont go in dont go in JUST SEND THE DEATHWINGS THEY LOVE THAT SHIT"
The *Event Horizon* made the classic mistake of traveling through the Warp without using the God Emperor's Astronomican Beacon to guide them.
That explains them not arriving at their destination. What killed the crew is that they didn't have any Geller fields to keep out the warp.
Well that'd be a mote point if they had been Orks. See, everything can be solved by a low-level gestalt psychic field that allows you to warp reality with simple belief.
Event Horizon could very well be a movie set in the 40k universe, happening just at the beginning of the golden age of technology.
Considering it was the first human manned ship to ever enter the Warp and the machines sent in previous tests had no issue, I don't think they knew they needed the Gellar Fields, that was a later development. Even if they had sent animals previously they might not have noticed anything a re small psychic signature would not have drawn predators on short jumps. Once a group of humans entered though, especially if various Warp predators were now sniffing around near by because of previous animal trials, well we know what happened next.
Hey, cut them some slack. The Emperor hadn't even revealed himself yet when they did the Event Horizon test run.
The derelict reaper mission in Mass Effect 2 absolutely terrified me. The reaper was mostly dead but was still indoctrinating people. Reading the scientists notes about going insane added so much to the horror.
_"even a dead god can still dream!"_
Then sending the reaper core to your building mission like what could happen
@@Fenris2 I see no issues here xd
Sovereign vs. my boot
“You can’t leave, she won’t let you” Sam Neil was great in Event Horizon!
"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."
"I created the Event Horizon to reach the stars. But she's gone much, much farther than that."
The ending of that movie was long something that haunted me in nightmares. The psychological idea of everything beeing an illusion is both, wonderful but also terryfying for me.
"libera te tutemet ex inferis."
Champion of undivided chaos
Starship Troopers: Invasion Ship: Warden Infested with bugs and a queen controls the ship with the intent to infest earth
But we have Raid!!!
No look hear sonny Jim. There is only ONE starship troopers. We dont talk about any other abominations related to it.
There was one derelict vessel that did not harm the people that got aboard it. In the second alien movie, they found Ripley's escape ship AFTER it had passed the solar system. They thought they would get salvage rights, but they found Ripley still alive. Still they survived the movie.
Ah yes, the Event Horizon. Or as it is known to Warhammer 40k fans: cautionary tale about the importance of Gellar fields.
sure go on board the event horizon what's the worst that can happen you claw your own eyes out you don't need em anyways🤣🤣
What about a 37 million year old derelict Reaper?
Tbf, I don't recall that one turning out so bad. In fact wasn't that where they met Legion? So that was actually beneficial.
John Shepherd & Grunt saved the day.....
Another "derelict" ship?
I wonder why reapers never take back that reaper...i dont remember if the game explain how could be 37m years there without reapers clean the evidence.
I'd rather board the Reaper than the Event Horizon, a Spacehulk, or a Flood infested ship, but maybe that's because I have a higher chance of just straight up dying ON the Reaper and not suffering a fate worse than death.
Missed the #1 (and original) derelict ghost ship; Space 1999' Dragon's Domain. Aired in Oct 1975 when I was 10 yo and left me with nightmares for a week.
I was 9, and I thought that show was so well made! Forty years later, I see it on KZhead, and I think otherwise.
USS Defiant in 1966 Star Trek episode "The Tholian Web". I think that derelict cargo ship from "The Prometheus Trap" deserves honorable mention on the list, as well.
I was also 10 when this show first aired and it gave me a good scare.
Bet me to it. I was about to post about that episode too.
Same for me - nightmares and at the time and so real. Although seeing this now, it seems dated but it was by far the scariest derelict in my memory.
USG Ishimura oh I miss Dead Space so much
Yeah, me too
Takes a couple of workarounds but the Origin/GOG version still works.
It's not technically a derelict tho during dead space 1. A reasonable portion of its crew were still alive at the time of arrival. It does however become a derelict after the events of dead space 1, which are shown in Dead space: Salvage.
THE VECTOR: I MISS STAR WARS PRE KK SO MUCH.
@@cgi2002 derelict means basically non functional not abandoned. You are sent to the ishimura to repair it and bring it back to working order enough to be taken back to earth for full refurbishment.
Event Horizon has the scariest derelict ship in movies.
Dead Space hold the video game equivalent, and was one of the only ones on the list to scare me more!...
All the way man! there is no solution for the Event Horizon, it is a demon ship. It comes from another universe so not even the infinity stones can't effect it
@@mikesmollin8908 There is a solution, just shoot a cyclonic torpedo at it like any good Imperial Navy admiral and be done with it. It's just a Daemon Ship, not a damn Blackstone Fortress or Spacehulk it CAN be destroyed.
@@kabob0077 i was under the impression it can just spawn back out of the hell portal if you blow it up, I am not sure if they were really out at the end. Also, scary and dangerous are different but similar. The Event Horizon can get into your head and generate the most raw fear and personal torture, the ease you can destroy it with doesn't change that it can terrify you by showing you wife or kids die over and over. A powerful enemy ship can be scary, but demons are scarier, cuz you can't see them and they get to you personalty
@@mikesmollin8908 A Spacehulk is arguably worse than the Event Horizon, it's literally a mass of ships all clumped together in a mass of rock, metal, and whatever else the ever growing Behemoth can gather in both Real-Space and the Warp, it can be packed with all manner of Genestealers, Daemons, Orks, and other things equally or more dangerous than the last. And, a ship like the Event Horizon is nothing special compared to what an unfortunate accident in Warp Travel could cause, everything from a daemon possessed ship, the crew fusing to the hull, daemons seeping in through the cracks in the ship's Gellar Field, and more untold horrors that make the Event Horizon seem preferable. Besides, this is something that some Ordo Malleus Inquisitor would have to clean up with a squad of Grey Knights and be done in an hour.
In wise words of Lewis and Clarkes captain: "WE'RE LEAVING."
Less wise was saying that he was going to blow up the ship out loud while he was still on it. All he had to do was lie about leaving her to drift in space and then blow her up when he got back on and the ship wouldn't have reacted defensively.
Theomite Ah but the ship already got inside everyone’s head to show them their worst fears and secrets. How could one hope to conceal a lie?
CHECK PLEASE
"this place is a tomb." favorite line.
@@kennethjohnston1593 Because he was thinking it already and the ship didn't know. As soon as he said it out loud, the ship started draining power to the core and attacking the crew directly.
Tv: Colony transporter from Firefly episode "Bushwhacked." Song: The "Christian," captained by Jamie Dawson. IRL: USS Eldridge (used in original Philadelphia Experiment).
I know that experiment it’s where the U.S. tried to make a ship that was invisible not only to radar but visually as well according to what I can remember reading about it it vanished and then reappeared in the middle of a town no water or lake around in that it could of done that. Also the crew were welded to the hull all but one was accounted for.
@@nickfenix3892 it kinda worked
@@lunkystraydog6572 It did not, that never happened. USS Eldridge was no where near Philadelphia during the time the legend is set.
Dawson's Christian is an epic song!!
@@nickfenix3892 that was the movie, which sucked btw. There were experiments in radar invisibility but those didn't work. And none were ever performed during ww2 at the Philadelphia Naval shipyard. My Grandfather was US Navy ww2 and was stationed out of the Philadelphia Shipyard at that time period. Conspiracy theories, time for your tinfoil hat there.
One deadly derelict ship that I wish you added was the derelict reaper from mass effect 2 on top of the fact that it's a living ship that isn't fully dead as ground troops they use husks which are cyberneticaly inhanced humans which essentially turn them into techno-organic zombies with only one objective to tear apart everything in its path and the reaper is filled with them
The seemingly empty Star Destroyer in the Star Wars novel "Death Troopers"
I would almost rather that than the Mona Lisa haha. By the way, wasn't it a prison ship? I haven't read the novel... just got obsessed with the thought of zombie stormtroopers lol
A prison shop responded to the distress call
@@jacksondavis8940 And then they docked onto the star destroyer. Literally the worst thing they could‘ve done if you don‘t know what happened to the crew and if the thing that did it might still be on board
The Imperial Star Destroyer ‘Vector’, cool name for a cool & creepy ship
Semi intelligent learning Space zombies. I will give that a hard pass.
You forgot about the “U.S.S. Discovery” from ‘2010’ and the rescue mission sent to investigate. (C’mon now, you can’t forget the HAL 9000) There needs to be a part 2 to this video. Please. “My god, it’s full of stars...”
But Dr. Chandra was able to fix HAL. HAL's later sacrifice saved everyone.
Although the most famous abandoned ship in Sci-Fi, it is benign.
Never board a derelict space ship, unless if you're a member of Deathwing.
Exterminatis brother! The Emperor protects!
For the first, for the lion brother!
hm...Deathwing vs Deathwing Virus...
FOR RUSS AND THE ALLFATHER!!!!! Ready the heavy flamers
If i die, i die standing!

Ah, there's usually a reason its derelict.
Warranty failure.
Event Horizon is an inadvertent Warhammer 40k prequel. It kind of describes traveling in the warp without a Gellar Field. Plus you have all the gothic architecture
The problem with all these rescue teams is they weren't Death wing terminator! That could have solved a lot of there problem.
With a name like Death wing terminator, I feel like "rescue" team might need quotation marks
@@Lectrikfro Oh they rescuing something it is called Geneseed
@@Lectrikfro The Deathwing are essentially the Elite of the Dark Angels Legi- I mean Chapter and its descendants, they use Terminator Armor and are usually sent to board Spacehulks... Mainly because their armor is the only kind that can survive the environment of a Spacehulk and the attacks of one's... _Inhabitants..._
Probably. Event Horizon would need Grey Knights though.
@@owenstockwood5040 A good number of them, but not too many.
Scariest line in psi fi: "Where are the stars?" Now the answer we got was disappointing but the question itself freaked me out.
No mention of the Olethros? Damn, that thing literally had one of the Largest and Most terrifying monsters in the Galaxy in their Millions! Colour me Disappointed.
Either send some combat drones or blast it to smithereens then pick the scraps.
No. Then blast the scraps. And then bomb the general area.
@@ciphergamingsouthafrica8502 I have you know we are not all idiots, if there is a shred of sense in the crew they would send in a drone first. Then after the drone checks it all would we send in the cannon fodder.
Love event horizon and pandorum! Two great movies with a good mix of scifi and horror!
Was hoping The “Mona Lisa” was here but eh, least the Ishimura was
If we're thinking of the same Mona Lisa, and I think we are, then I'd nope the fuck out of there asap
Dwafakiin yeah... the flood is not good at all
@@Cooldude-ko7ps it's worse if not equal to the necromorphs
kill The Heretics yeah it is
Flood is worse than everything but Chaos from warhammer and maybe Tyranids, depends on which cell infects the other first
The crew from the Nostromo should have watched this before entering that alien space craft. We all know how that turned out.
Weyland-Yutani banned KZhead 38 years earlier due to having there own service, YuTube. They were doomed from the get go.
Neber touch weird eggs on a dead ship
Safe to say, that Event Horizon is still the best movie version of "Doom" thus far, inclduding the actual "Doom" from 2005.
Doom as in 'rip and tear'??
The 2005 film was rather bad.
You missed so many derelicts from *Red Dwarf* Hell their own ship would probably qualify. To sum up their experiences boarding derelict ships (and bases) *Lister:* Why is it we never meet anyone nice? [as Hex vision psychic bolts wiz pass them] *The Cat:* Why is it we never meet anyone who can shoot straight? You could do a video just on the worse derelicts they have discovered, counting down from ten to the most dangerous - which could be the Psirens, the virus research laboratory ("most gross danger") along with Mr Flibble, the many many Rogue Simulants they've encountered, the Polymorph, or even the Despair Squid and the female Despair Squid. The DNA modifier and Legion were only risk cause they are idiots. Does anyone have a suggestion for any others that should be considered for the top spot.?
YES! This needs to smegging happen!
How about the mutated cold virus that spawns Lister's confidence and paranoia as physical beings, that tries to kill him through flattery and/or insults? That was quite a smegging scary concept. XD
@@realitycheck3363 that was from red dwarf itself
Transmogrification initiated Lister turns into a chicken Lister: i was trying to ask for an epidural in chicken 😂
Most Gross Danger!
Ah the event horizon. Its been an age and a half since I last saw that movie.
was a good film. the ship was a good looking vessel too.
@@shawn6860 yeh, and a beautiful real model miniature, not some cartoony CG shytefest!
You just went down a list of many of my favorite movies all together, I never realized before I had a derilict ship fetish. I have five of these movies on Blu Ray, Dvd and Laser disc and played all of the Dead Space games multiple times and bought a Wii just for the Nintendo exclusive game. If these are some of your faves, I imagine we'd be good friends :)
Warhammer 40k space hulks should of been on here, they are just basically a hornets nest of tyranids.
Or Orks... or Daemons. Or any combination of the three.
Purge the Xenos!
Tyranids if you are lucky.
*have
To be fair Space Hulk is less a derelict ship(s) and more a giant blob of "Bad Times", "Rape" and "Fuck You" that want you... yes, specifically *you*... dead.
No room for the U.S.S. Cygnus with a crazy scientist and his army of killer robots? (The Black Hole 1979)
I was thinking that too. I just watched it the other day actually.
Crazy scientist who kills most of the original crew and lobotomises the rest.
Disappointing it wasn't mentioned.
Don't forget the ship in Sphere. Human ship, travel backward in time, crashed with alien sphere on board that gave people weird uncontrolled magical powers. The crew was not found, but the ship knew it had traveled through time to a date unknown, and the people who found the ship had to learn about the sphere the hard way.
dude that's only bad if you imagine bad things if you go into the sphere and you're a horny perv all that happens is you end up in a heavenly orgy that give you more pleasure then you thought possible that is if you can control your thoughts like that which you can if you go in knowing your thoughts control your reality
@@raven4k998 That's all addressed in the movie. You should watch it.
You know Space hulk: Death wing would be pretty terrifying. I'd never want to go into the Olethros.
Yeah, I was really disappointed that they didn’t show it.
That's just one Spacehulk though, still a bad place but only one of many...
Take the necron world engine. That’ll be fun
@@i3lackfusion Send me in with a Melta, I want to kill Skeleton Robots.
Honorable Mention(?) : The U.S.S. Cygnus from Disney's first PG rated feature film, 1979's "The Black Hole". Technically, it was a derelict, as the crew of the U.S.S. Palomono seemed to think so.
Though they did't actually board it until after the lights came on and they believed people were aboard.
The derelict in Firefly would hit my list here. Reavers aren't to be messed with.
Great list, I'm familiar with all of these and they're all excellent examples of the trope. But to single one out, I'm so glad to see the Ishimura remembered. The first Dead Space is an absolute classic (the others are fun but not as good) and the setting of the Ishimura is a huge reason for that.
I caught Pandorum as a midnight showing at the dollar theater when it was still "new." We were wanting to see something else but had missed the first twenty minutes and decided to not waste the trip. After reading the synopsis, we thought "sounds good, I guess." We were Wrong. IT WAS AMAZING! My wife and I were the only ones in the auditorium and the staff kept creeping in to watch it with us, saying afterwards how they'd all taken turns watching it on slow nights and looked forward to the DVD release. Best $10 ever spent at the movies!
The Spawn of Damnation: Its not just one derelict starship full of horrifically deadly alien monsters, its HUNDREDS of derelict ships, full of horrifically deadly alien monsters, all crashed into one, like a Turducken of death
That is just too funny 😂
Meanhwile the minmatar and orks be like: Look at all the free ship material floating about.
Then the rogue drones come in
cr4zyj4ck Orks would consider that bonus points.
Minmatar : Trust in the rust. Orks : Nuf Boyz and wez can get big metal chunk to fly.
I was pleasantly surprised with pandorum, great movie and far better then I was expecting it to be
#1-Norwegians abandon anything-DON'T GO THERE, "The Thing" should've taught them that.
It was already too late by then, they just wanted answers at that point. Remember the dog was literally the first thing that happened in the movie. The dog is what infected everyone ultimately.
@@DeathBYDesign666 And they stopped the last Norwegian from killing it...
8:32 ah yes the Event Horizon a cautionary tale of what happens when you don't have your Gellar Fields up when you travel through the Warp 😋
How about the derelict in Dragon's Domain, Space:1999? Nobody believed Tony Cellini!
Kudos if you all can put together a "Worst Space Diners" list. I know of at least one ... Gus' Galaxy Grill ... UGH ...
I actually just watched Event Horizon. It gave me Warp Demon vibes.
The Anubis from the Expanse was much more dangerous than the Scopuli. It's reactor was covered in protomolecule, and turning it on made the protomolecule grow. Also there's a stranded black-ops ship in Killjoys, that wasn't fun for D'avin either. And in Dark Matter there was a derelict ship with some sort of zombie like humans on board. But yeah, if you see a derelict ship in space, just nuke it, it's not worth it hahahaha.
Was going to say that nothing much was that dangerous about the Scopuli, it really was just an empty ship.
@@kevinjackson7169 True, but the dangerous part was the martian military beacon that attracted the Amun-Ra class stealth ships as soon as either Holden or Naomi (I can't remember) turned it off. It was set up as a trap for anyone coming to investigate what happened to the Scopuli, anyone investigating their cargo or it's origins.
"But yeah, if you see a derelict ship in space, just nuke it, it's not worth it hahahaha." . But what if you have drones. You could get a lot of scavenge. Try playing the game Duskers. The point of the game is literally exploring derelict ships with drones. Not everyone's cup of tea, but can be quite fun even with super dangerous derelict ships.
@@josephburchanowski4636 Oh yeah dusker! But you are only doing it out of nessecity.. those damn swarms and goo. and it'a neither a good time for those drones.
They did the exact right thing to the Anubis tho.
I love Pandorum! Such an underrated and misunderstood movie.
and plot twist isnt bad either. i do think that ending was rushed too much.
The Event Horizon should have been in first place.
Space 1999 Episode 8 "Dragon's Domain" Moonbase Alpha is near a Sargasso with a spaceship graveyard that hides a Cosmic Horror. The lone survivor of a prior expedition that boarded one of the derelict ships is also aboard MB Alpha. He has amnesia about the encounter but starts having nightmares that lead him to face his past. The monster's devourer scene is still the scariest in Scifi.
Surprised the ISD with the zombie virus wasn’t on here
Probably because there's no footage for them to show
What is this a reference to?
@@DLordSadow the novel "Death Troopers"
Or simply ISD and rakghoul plague... That was a thing.
If the prison ship ONI used to study the Flood wasnt on the list, neither would that ISD
I got another ship for you... Warframe:Orokin ship Derelict ; was used to study and make a bioweapon against Man made robots who gone rogue.....ended up making Space Zombies instead.
I love your videos keep up the great work🇬🇧
You had me at Dead Space, great video really enjoyed it.
It's obviously Event Horizon. Only the USG Ishimura from Dead Space comes close to that level of f*cked up. Having said that, Pandorum is a great movie.
"When our sun shuts down, because it's a complete Pansy and doesn't get enough animal protein" Jesus Alan, that line could only have been more psychotically awesome if Sgt Slaughter himself had said it.
What about sargent Johnson from halo?
And ya don't mess with the Peaky Blindas!
@@bohba13 I'll allow it.
Ever see that space 1999 episode Dragons domain? Space Graveyard kills an astronauts entire crew, gets home in a lifeboat and has career ruined as everyone thinks he accidentally killed his crew and had a breakdown until that situation is encountered once more.That octopus Roper scared the shit out of me back in 1976, especially as it spat out the sucked dry corpses. Seriously traumatic stuff for a 70's tv show.
Personal pick: the Infinite Succor from one of the old Halo comics. A Covenant Support ship that suddenly lost contact with the rest of the fleet, so a spec ops team is sent to reclaim the ship and search for any survivors. Turns out to be infected by the Flood and only one Elite makes it off alive.
Never entire a derelict sea ship either. Hence the movie Ghost Ship lol
How about the "Goliath" from "Goliath Awaits"? Beware, McKenzie!
Yeah, Triangle made that crystal clear.
Also the case in the film Virus
Sunshine was such an annoying movie. It turned from a last ditch effort to save the Earth into a run-of-the-mill slasher film and back to a last ditch effort to save the Rarth, but now everyone aboard the Icarus-II now has to die. It also can a feels like the ship was just a little bit jinxed. It is after all named for the main character in a cautionary tale. When literally flying too close to the Sun, maybe don't name a ship after someone who flew too close to the Sun.
Oh, it wasn't perfect, and there's too much non-scientific bullshittery to mention, but it did give us John Murphy's 'The Surface Of The Sun', which is the only track it's acceptable to save the world to.
Naming it for someone that flew close to the sun isn't the problem, naming it for some that flew too close and died because of it is.
Stargate had the Daedalus and the main characters survived.
@@richardarriaga6271 Daedalus was an inventor - more importantly, he was the dude that lived in that tale.
This is honestly a list that gives good reasons to GO and enjoy the media surrounding the mentions without spoiling things.
Good review. Thank you for including LV-426. If you're going to include "waking up on derelict ships" you should also include the Avalon from Passengers (which would make a third film with Laurence Fishburne on this list). Do derelict space stations count? If so, you could include Empok Nor from season 5 of Star Trek: DS9.
This is the third time I’ve said this.... They forgot Star Trek! I.e. Empok Nor.
Oh, that was a creepy episode. There's also the USS Defiant (the constitution class one, not the warship). I'd think that would qualify.
They could have included the USS Lantree too.
@@blammers Yeah, that one's certainly up there.
I was thinking of the USS Tsiokolvsky from "The Naked Now."
The Vulcan ship they found in season 3 of Enterprise was pretty scary too. The material they were experimenting with turned the Vulcan crew into murderous zombies. Made it more interesting in the episode, but stupid later in the series that T'pol was on the away team.
Was really surprised by Pandorum, it was a good film.
Love your channels man
THE APACHE - JASON X 2001 CHALLENGE 142 - IT, THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE 1956 THE SHENANDOAH - CREATURE 1985 RAMA - RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA 1973
The fact that Space Hulks weren’t on this list is actual heresy. Entire companies of 7ft, neigh-impregnable armor clad super soldiers that are equipped with the most brutal weaponry imaginable get routinely wiped out while aboard them. Daemons, Genestealers (think xenomorphs but actually scary and tough), legions of Orks and countless outer human munching monstrosities.
Reavers infectet Ship from Fyerfly Serenety still missing :)
So... event horizon needed a gellar field... and it went to the eye of terror?
Yes and no, it just went into the Warp but not the Eye of Terror.
I was still in primary school when I first saw Event Horizon. And it is still one of my absolute favourite movies. Such a concept and a wicked cool execution. Makes you wonder what the survivors might have brought back to Earth with them from that ship. Especially Justin, he's stepped through the portal.
Well done. This is the first video of yours I have seen. You have the technical aspects down which is often not the case. Key is the sound. Why do so many fail with good mic and sound? Your speach is good, also important. Video integration also quite good. I'm not sure about your Seattle grunge look, but that is not a negative. I will definitely see what more you have produced.
The Event Horizon went into the warp without a gellar field.
Only the Ultramarines can do that.

My grandfather told me three things about space travel: 1 never investigate distress signals, 2 if the signal is coming from a ship that has been crashed for a while ignore it, 3 if you do go onto a derelict spaceship avoid any weird looking eggs.
MUTHUR on the Nostromo did figure out that the “distress call” was actually a warning to avoid the planet and not try to rescue anyone. If memory serves though Ash told the crew it was actually the location of delicious cookies on the surface.
The USS Cygnus should have been on this list and at the top. And if we're doing crashed spaceship horror... let's not forget John Carpenter's The Thing.
I love this channel's videos and I really want to watch this one but I haven't seen Ad Astra and I havent finished watching The Expanse, I have to go watch those first!
What about the Proteus from Lost in Space 1998. The derelict ship they explore and get attacked by metal spiders. Surprised this one got missed.
I can't believe the Cygnus from Disney's 'The Black Hole' didn't get a mention.
I was looking for a mention of black hole before I commented
I really expected the Direlect Reaper ship in mass effect 2, when you have to get the iff. Or even the collecter ship. Granted that wasnt really direlect, but the crew thought it was when they boarded
The Ultraprobe from the "Dragon's Domain" Episode of Space 1999. This aired on 23rd October 1975 so is older than Alien and as a young kid I remember this being pretty scary. Even though the special effects are so massively outdated they do sometimes have a Star Wars original hope sort of look to them. Plus I bet there are a lot of old Dr Who episodes that were based in derelict spaceships too.
3:36 Dead Space: USG Ishimura 4:30 "...and you are only an engineer with no military training and no real weapons. " I would like to point out that military training would actually be detrimental to the survival chances in Dead Space. Military training focuses on Center-of-Mass shots... which does nothing against Necromorphs. Also, the Pulse Rifle used by the military units in Dead Space is the worst possible choice against Necromorphs, unless you get the upgrades, which I doubt the Military did. The best possible weapons against Necromorphs are the mining/engineering tools Clarke misuses as weapons... and he lacks the instinct to fire center of mass. So, being an engineer without military training actually increases Clarke's chances for survival.
well as soon as army realize that head shots are more efective trained comando could be realy "deadly" allso as long as you have any sort of gun training you will shoot on center of mass, and if you dont you are likely to miss the target
@@petrsukenik9266 yeh, headshots-especially moving headshots are annoyingly hard to manage every shot.
@@petrsukenik9266 Headshots aren't best choice either. You need to *dismember* Necromorphs to neutralize them.
I have fond memories of watching a friend play Dead Space - he was a big FPS guy and he would instinctively go for headshots and get really stressed out when the necromorphs kept coming. No matter how much we reminded him to dismember the enemies, you could see the internal struggle playing out by watching his aiming cursor jerk toward the head stump each and every time.
@@caav56 well technicaly, if you would shoot entire magazine to them, theyre musle structure would just fell apart so automativ shotgun and just waporize them
You should have added the legends imperial star destroyer from the star wars death troopers book, now that was a terrifying derelict ship
"Basically massacre each other" Pretty kinky shit, tho.
Thank you for not spoiling The Expanse. I just watched the first episode very recently and find it interesting. xD
Pandorum was hands down one of the best science fiction movies ever written!
Was Playing Heroes of the storm the other day, enemy hero encases itself in ice to heal and protect itself. All five of our team surrounded and waited for the thaw. It too me straight back to this movie, I have been forever traumatized by that scene of the zombies waiting for cryopods to activate like they are a dinner bell.
Speaking of the Event Horizon and 40k. The generally accepted Fanon theory is that this is the first recorded instance of Warp travel.
Yeah, but this is still just a danboy geek thing. No amount of geeek shouting makes it true until it is officially so.
Survivor: **clicks on distress signal** Maniac that just found him: "Thank you. I was going to do that after I finished killing all of you."
I love waking up to these videos everyday
And, with Event Horizon, there's a theory it's actually a 40K prequel. That they found the Warp.
Make sense, the chaos has also been known to corrupt starhips as well.
Can't remember who, but one of the people involved in making it did say that it was.
Pretty much.
@@matthewsmith2979 There were licensing issues, as I recall. And executive meddling, lots of executive meddling.
@@ornu01 always with the executives. When will they learn they usually make things worse!
The Mona Lisa from the Halo universe would have fit well here!
Event Horizon is such a massively underrated movie.
I'm so happy sunshine made the list
