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+

Trapped in a hospital, several individuals confront cultists and eldritch horrors. With a nod to 80s horror, this is one of the best Lovecraftian movies since The Thing. An original story, the film is full of gore and other practical effects that should satisfy most horror fans.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Film starts: Protagonist is passed out Next scene: protagonist passes out Next scene: protagonist gets stabbed, passes out. A 1.5 hour sequence of characters getting knocked out and waking up to horrors beyond their imagination paired with C- middle school dialogue. Visuals are the only aspect of this film keeping it vaguely afloat.

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.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
