Recently I've been reading Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing, and he's introduced an interesting concept: "conciousness could be passed on as foodstuffs". SPOILER for Swamp Thing: In that book a batch of microorganisms become a vessel for one unified conciousness. In my Event Horizon Review I was speculating about the idea of an inanimate object sharing conciousness with something else, perhaps even a conciousness without a vessel. What I'm gonna say here is a sort of continuation of that review, so SPOILERS for Event Horizon ahead: It's weird, that I now stumble upon this film. For one reason or another I got used to thinking of a ghost as a humanoid figure, that moves around the space similar to humans. This films made me realize, how limited that view was. Perhaps, a conciousness, freed from its vessel, could adopt the next closed space it finds itself in, as its new vessel. See, I believe the house in this film IS the boy. This idea entered my mind, when in one scene, multiple objects were interacted with at the same time. A ghost, that is a creature, inhabiting space and time like humans, couldn't do it. So then I started following this line of thinking. I noticed, that the film never really contradicts this idea... Almost. Later we see, how a little girl sees nightmare of the dead boy, because his remains are under her floor. That means, the boy is interacting with her. When Russell finds the medal, it comes out of the ground by itself. Later, when Russell brings the medal to the senator, we see the boy interacting with the senator through the medal. As you can see, the boy's singular conciousness occupies several vessels, like the microorganisms in Swamp Thing AND all the vessels are inanimate objects. That conciousness also probably permeates the vessels. Like in Event Horizon, we see it crawling inside of people's minds, reading their thoughts and influencing their decisions, when they are in the house. All that seems to suggest one thing: our bodies are as valuable or as worthless as the inanimate objects surrounding us, or those objects are as valuable/worthless as our bodies. Hm, I guess that's it. I have nothing else to say.
