"The Void" gets louder, grosser and more stupid the further it progresses, becoming an endurance test in its final sequences. Go to Full Review
Adam Nayman The Ringer 04/07/2017
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. Go to Full Review
John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 04/07/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Max Allen Horror Movie Talk Dec 4
7/10
The Void is some sort of hodge-podge that pulls from many different movies, creating a wild ride that barely gives the viewer time to breathe. Go to Full Review

Xane B. @xabobinchuck Nov 17 I would say the 1st half the novie is pretty decent and then It really goes down hill from there. See more Wayne K Nov 16 The Void is the kind of film that’s easy to champion: a low budget horror story that tries to do what it can with a limited budget, all or most of which came from donations. That being said, many of the films biggest shortcomings come from the script and the concept. It’s an ambitious idea that isn’t fleshed out anywhere near enough. Having a cult aspect just seems like an excuse to have people in weird robes standing around, and even the cult’s endgame is vague and largely inconsequential. It’s something about conquering death, or not being able to achieve death or some such thing. The 2nd half devolves into repetitive action, screaming and gunfights in poorly lit basements. I love the fact that the creatures were done practically, rather than falling back on poor CGI which would have been hard to lampshade in a film like this, but even the creatures themselves are underwhelming and easily dispatched. It’s the type of film I’d say I admired rather than enjoyed, and with a few more script revisions I think it could have been something special. But what we get is, in every sense, half-baked. See more Andrea S Nov 9 Low budget horror movie. Nice ideas, with lovercraftian touch. It’s a movie you may end up watching twice or at least referring it to a friend. See more Craig F Oct 25 I love this movie for what it pulls off. Not Quite The Thing (1982), but full points for creeping body horror without CGI. The story falls short but this type of thing should be applauded in this day and age. Its a mini modern day classic. See more xpig332 B Sep 28 This could’ve been very good, but the script had people acting unrealistically stupid! See more Skky S Sep 24 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.
