Ok. What horror movies are like Event Horizon but occurs on earth? Stranger Things is kinda childish. It's so hot because of the portal opening another dimension story. Why didn't they use the same Hellish creatures in Event Horizon. So I want to see another like EH. It what scares me. I stopped all contacts with anything occult 15 years ago as tactical retreat because I couldn't take them anymore so just want to be entertained now only in movies.
Event Horizon was good to a point then it got silly. Sam Neil is a great actor but the film just went off in my view.
I think the one with George Clooney was much more real, Polaris. That was horrific but extremely Sad at the same time.
I make sure never to watch that drunk

There is no evidence for other dimensions as far as I can tell. The LHC found no evidence of super symmetric particles from what I have read @mfb will give you info on this. Another dimension does not mean another world, it just means another degree of freedom.

I was just using traditional terms pending the exact physics of it all. The series Stranger Things use the term Upside Down. I only watched Season 3. I am thinking if i should watch season 1 and 2. But I am bored with the creatures. If only they used the creatures in Event Horizon which are more realistic. About Stranger Things.

"The weird Upside Down science behind 'Stranger Things'
By Ashley Strickland, CNN(CNN) — Luckily, there is no analog in our reality for the demogorgon, the Mindflayer or whatever new terrors lurk in season 3 of "Stranger Things," which premieres on Netflix on Thursday. But there are plenty of connections on the popular show to real, weird science that happens every day.
Here's a look at some of the parallels between the science we know and the science fiction of the Upside Down in "Stranger Things."
Upside Down biology

The Upside Down isn't the most hospitable place. It almost resembles something we might expect to find on another planet, which is fitting, considering it's a mirror dimension of our own. But in this parallel universe, everything is, well, a little off."

The Birds - Hitchcock's finest for me
The nightmare on Elm Street films were good but not seen them for years so they may not have aged well
