Yes, I always wondered if Paul W.S. Anderson did a visual reference to the Carpenter film in EVENT HORIZON because of the Sam Neill connection – when, in the beginning of the film, he cuts from a camera movement towards one of the original crew corpses – through his mouth, the “mouth of madness” – and to Sam Neill’s eye as he wakes up somewhere else. I talked a bit about that, and other visual motifs, in my 2017 article on the film, Google-translated here – suitable for a “bump” now.
