The Sam Neill tributes will rightly focus on his achievements in Jurassic Park, The Piano, Hunt For the Wilderpeople etc. But he also gave what I think are three of the greatest horror movie performances of all time: Possession (1981), In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) and Event Horizon (1997) .

Isabelle Adjani’s performance in POSSESSION is (rightfully) considered one of the greatest of all time but it doesn’t work without Neill’s infuriating, palpably painful work as Mark to bounce off of. He’s just as incredible. What a loss!
