Konterr Brilliant and touching

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

anselmdaniel This review contains spoilers.The Void is a low budget horror movie with Lovecraftian themes. The story follows a sheriff that discovers a wounded man. The two drive to the local hospital but then discover a mysterious cult surrounds them. The sheriff along with the hospital's patients, nurses, and doctors desperately try to survive against the cosmic horror before them.The Void is an excellent movie with Lovecraftian themes. it is a movie that has a low budget but executes its story and themes well. Audiences should be warned that the story does become wild and strange. This feeds into the theme of cosmic horror well as many horrific occurrences are not explained and not understood. The audience only understands as much as the main characters do and even this is open to the character's dwindling sanity as the horror envelops them. I liked all of the characters and they are well written. The story has enough twists to keep it engaging and to keep the audience guessing.The budget of the movie low. This is evident in most of the movie taking place in one location with confined spaces. This does work to the benefit of the movie as it contributes to the claustrophobic atmosphere of the movie. The monsters in this movie are not well realized. The monsters are shown too much on the screen where they lose their weight. With the low budget it can be easy to pick apart messy details on the monsters. The monsters do look horrific at first but become static as the screen time goes on.The actors and actresses did a good job in this movie. The only complaint I have is the lack of range. Most of the characters are reacting to horror. The actors and actresses were fine for this purpose but were not fully tested. Likewise, the dialogue was well written.There are some story problems. Since, the movie does not explain actions, some events are open to interpretation. Once it is revealed that the hospital's doctor was behind the events, some of the plot does not make much sense. The doctor was able to reincarnate and serve his eldritch god. He also wanted to bring back his daughter. it seemed as if he could have killed the other characters before the movie started or even have caused character deaths to aid in his plans. This is still open to interpretation and I am glad the movie ended the way it did.I highly recommend The Void. It is a movie with heavy Lovecraftian inspiration. The movie is a must watch for any fan of Lovecraft.

AnimalMother84 Nothing short of classic horror film-making here. It could have neatly fit into John Carpenter's apocalyptic films, specifically Prince of Darkness to which it seems a spiritual sequel of sorts. It kicks off a disturbing scenario from the first minute and plummets straight into nightmarish soon enough. I haven't seen this kind of enjoyable and well made practical effects since the 80's The Thing, or perhaps as late as Species. No glaring and cheesy CGI is to be seen. What there is of CGI budget is all splurged on gorgeous otherwordly scenes. The main set has the lovely dichotomy you would find in a classy Silent Hill hospital, with juicy decorations from Clive Barker's Hellraiser. The people who made this clearly knew what they were doing.Tired of teen splatter films? Seen one ghost movie too many? Do jumpscares make you groan and roll your eyes? Try this. You won't be disappointed.

Harfy Ok, it's simple : I don't understand that movie. It looks like they took a few ideas from another movies (The Thing, Hellraiser...) and tried to mix them up.The problem is : that can't be working. People tells nonsense lines, there is no continuity between the scenes displayed, the whole script is nonsense at all.The young cop acts like an idiot, the old cop doesn't act when he needs to. The old doctor is...well, what exactly is he ? It looks like he's behind everything, but that does not appear clearly.Oh, I lied in my review title : actually, there is one thing that's very good ! At the almost end, when the old man is attacked by the newly born monster : I laughed out loud ^^ Of course, it's a stupid scene, but was done in a funny way, even it's not what they wanted to show us !In the very last end, I thought "what the duck I just watched here ?!?"

seedbabs Product review The void is an horror movie that I had discovered through a H.P Lovecraft group page back in november. The person who was talking about it described it as a great lovecraftian film so I was interested. The void is a great horror film that the horror genre was missing in my opinion it has a lovecraft vibe from it, it also has a very interesting story and visuals that keeps the viewer interested in the movie. This movie delivers many strengths from the prosthetics, the scenery ,the story, and the feel of the whole movie. The prosthetics are amazing it gives the movie a classic horror movie vibe. The void creatures in the movie look amazing and the effort that was put in to make these creatures and effects is unbelievable. The first look at these creatures is truly terrifying and the creatures become more and more interesting to look at as the movie progresses. Another big thing that makes this movie great is the scenery and feel. Every scene in this movie things get crazier and crazier especially with the basement scene where they encounter more void creatures, The feeling of this scene is suspenseful and creepy. I would go into more details but I don't want to spoil as much of the movie as I can. The only things I had a problem with is if they went more in depth with the cult and explained what they did in detail to james and what he went through that led to the void. I don't have any problems with this movie other than going a little more into detail. I get it adds to the suspense and mystery but a little more. Overall this is one of my favourite movies and I highly recommend it to anyone. If anyone asks for a good horror movie or a good movie I always recommend this. This movie never gets boring for me i've watched it 7 or 6 times now. I give this movie A ++, this movie is also worth purchasing because you can watch it a couple hundred times and it would never gets old.
