The Void

This was ace. Having been this entertained by a movie in a while. No expectations. The acting was solid. The atmosphere was just right. Loved it.

Simple, very entertaining throwback with a fuck ton of great deaths and monster shit. More in the vein of late 80's mid budget video rental gems, not for those unfamiliar with these kind of trash aesthetics. And even then, it might seem like a challenge in some ways plot-wise. If you can't tolerate it, I'd recommend pulling the ol "fast forward to the gore" move in the very least.

That was awesome! Effective little horror throwback. Great score, monster design, story, gore, atmosphere. This one's got bite. And it's proudly Canadian.

With an atmosphere of dread and isolation, the Void works even if only for its visual appeal and body horror.

I enjoyed pretty much every aspect of this movie. Even though I am not a huge fan of gore, body horror here was pretty well made and the cinematics left just enough to get the point across without being puke-inducing. The plot kept me in the movie well and I got more than enough info about what's going on (not sure what some commenters are talking about, maybe they don't get the idea of cosmic horror?)

I’m just going to say this…. If you’re trying to decide “should I watch this stoned or should I watch this sober?”; brother, I have to tell you that if you’re not smoking one out, don’t even watch it.

While I agree with a lot of the criticism of this film, I think overall it kind of works. The plot and acting is kind of disjointed and inconsistent, as others have said, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. It seems like just one too many ideas got smashed together - the pregnancy/body horror, the cultist angle, the weird/metaphysical aspect all didn't come together as well as they should. I thoguht the first two acts were great, but the third act is corridor-drama and confusing monologue.

It's no masterpiece, but if you want a kooky, ambitious b-movie to watch in October this isn't a bad choice.

In my opinion this could have been a cult hit with much better leads and a little bit more explanation of plot. Certainly not as bad as some reviews here would have you believe. Worth a watch with an interesting ending.

Lovecraftian horror, with a little bit of Clive Barker thrown in, this isn't a bad film, just a little messy at times. In a world of cookie-cutter horror, this is trying to be something a little bit different. With a little more fleshing out of the mythos at the core, this would have been a better film.
