Critics Consensus

The Void offers a nostalgic rush for fans of low-budget 1980s horror -- and legitimate thrills for hardcore genre enthusiasts of all ages.

Adam Graham

Detroit News

"The Void" gets louder, grosser and more stupid the further it progresses, becoming an endurance test in its final sequences.

Rated: C

Adam Nayman

The Ringer

The resulting splatter is a bloody mess, which, if not a mass-audience spectacle, is exactly what these filmmakers were going for in the first place.

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

One of the more action-packed features to come from the current crop of John Carpenter-inspired filmmakers, The Void finds collaborators Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski going much further than many of their peers.

Deep Focus Review

A refreshing change from supernatural specters and slasher remakes.

Rated: 2.5/4

They did have a good idea and a good premise... but it kind of lost momentum.

Rated: 4/10

The Last Thing I See

"The Void" delivers dramatic beats; manic, WTF monster madness; and enough gore to paint an entire hospital red.

Rated: B+

Tiene una mezcla de culto, horror y violencia pero también muy humana en cuanto el miedo. Siento que son de esas películas que solo necesitar ver una vez para que te guste. El final me gustó mucho, me gustaría ver más películas de este tipo. Simplemente perfecta

Bloody disgusting...But still quite enjoyable. I am not sure what really happened as I was on my third glass of wine, but I watched it until the end. Very "Lovecraftian" in structure and presentation. I recommend not watching after a big meal but watching at least once.

I think if you are a fan of Cosmic Horror then you will enjoy this movie. As for the average movie goer, I can see why they will not enjoy this movie as much. Just got to have a certain taste/interest for this genre of movies.

Brie B

There's a lot of potential and it could have been a great show. Movie-format isn't fit for this type of story because it needs time to develop its characters and let the scenario unfold

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
