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.

This movie is wild from the start and keeps the viewer engaged.

Deep Focus Review

A refreshing change from supernatural specters and slasher remakes.

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

Rated: 4/10

This could’ve been very good, but the script had people acting unrealistically stupid!

I was hoping that this was a movie about our understaffed and underfunded medical system. This is a very bad police / cult movie, which makes me sad that someone obviously put time into this and it turned out so boring. There is beautiful cosmic horror, and then they start bullying a drug addicted man and use him as a meat shield. ACAB I gave up with 25 minuets left and I wish I stopped sooner.

Much like the explosions of body parts in the movie. I’d have preferred my eyeballs explode than have to watch it ever again.

This is one where the audience gets it wrong and the critics right. If you liked 80's horror, sci fi, you will like this

This is one of the best Lovecraftian horror films ever made in my opinion and it was made on a shoestring budget. I love the practical effects. If you're a fan of VHS-era horror, I don't see how this one isn't appealing.

Se me quemaron unos huevos, sin embargo me los comí. Me arrepiento menos de comerme los huevos que de ver está película, juega con terror abstracto, no obstante te deja más dudas que respuestas, respecto al final no te deja un mal sabor de boca pero te deja un sabor a huevos quemados...
