Family - Caligula
I just saw the uncut version for the first time last night. I was waiting for someone to poo onscreen so that we would have the full trifecta of excretions/secretions.
I guess it does involve a family...
Damn...I meant to put in comic book movie as well.
Superhero/comic - Watchmen, Mystery Men
Disturbing flick - Caligula, Audition...hell...any Miike movie I have watched pretty much can be on this list. For that matter, any Cronenberg flick as well, but especially Dead Ringers.

Okay. I'll admit to have changed my original opinion of the film which I believe I said was disturbing, confusing and disappointing.
I recently re watched it and found it to be much better than I remembered. It will never find its way on my favorite of all time list but it's not bad. I think now my biggest gripe is that Sam Neil's performance, particularly when he is fully "possessed"

seems off. Though he is one of my favorite actors his "sick evil guy" seems forced and uncomfortable. Other than that I kind of see why some of you hold Event Horizon in such high esteem.
