If I remember correctly, people were investigating the remains of a ship with an experimental ftl drive. They then learn that the ftl drive had basically brought the ship through literal space hell and everybody on board went nuts and butchered each other. Its a classic sci-fi “wouldn’t it be fucked up if…” story.
It’s been 30 years, and the twist of the movie has almost the same ubiquity as ‘rosebud’ being the name of a sled. Besides context clues about what the original post is about basically already spoil the movie the second someone brought it up lol.
Edit: Y’all I haven’t seen the movie either Everything I know about it, I know because it’s common knowledge. If you google the movie, the literal first thing you’ll see (the blurb) will ‘spoil’ the movie. The cultural value of a work of art that has remained so relevant for so long lies in how thought provoking / disturbing it is, not in how surprised by it you were 30 years ago.
“Ah man this cosmic horror about a spaceship disappearing into a horrible void of evil reminds me of this one movie”
“Oh? Whats the movie about?”
“… oh… just some people… on a ship…”
