Question: Why did the Event Horizon choose to come back after seven years? In fact, why come back at all?
Chosen answer: The movie never explicitly says; but science is as yet unsure what happens to a given piece of matter once it crosses a black hole's event horizon, so who knows? The ship could have been thrown seven years forward in time, or far enough away that it took seven years for it to drift close to Neptune. Pick any explanation you like.
The theory that the film is a stealth prequel to the 'Warhammer 40,000' universe has been confirmed by one of the writers, who was a big fan of 40K and said that the setting influenced his writing "either consciously or subconsciously" – because Games Workshop is litigious. But since the Horizon entered into the Warp, time there flows extremely differently from time in real space; while it was seven years for people in real space, it could have been seconds, or thousands of years, for the ship.
Answer: With the recent Event Horizon prequel comic, it is established that Event Horizon is not in the Warhammer universe and there is a king of hell in the film. His name is Paimon.
Chosen answer: At least one crewmember is seen as a floating, frozen corpse on the bridge of the ship when the rescue crew are exploring, there is also evidence seen that a significant amount of tissue and blood have been spread around the walls in some parts of the ship, however it is implied that the original crew are in the alternate Hell dimention, if not physically then spiritually.
