Its style is audacious, its plot minimalist, and its future full of potential. Read full review

The result should find admirers among the fanboy crowd, raising the stakes for the team's next feature, even if it has little crossover potential. Read full review

Blending The Thing, Prince of Darkness, Hellraiser and Lovecraftian cosmic horror, this falls flat in suspense and characterisation, but ace ’80s FX – all liquefying latex – will delight genre fans. Read full review

At least its failings aren’t formulaic ones — or perhaps they’re the fault of jamming in more fantastic-cinema formula than one modestly scaled film can support. Read full review

The Void is a horror film that goes off the rails — not by accident, but on purpose. And not just a little. It’s gloriously off the rails, unhinged, absolutely bonkers. Read full review

If The Thing, Hellraiser 1, 2 and 3 and From Beyond had an aborted baby, this would be it. A great ending included. If your a fan of films like VHS....watch this.

Masterpiece! It's not often that movies come along that really push the eerie creep factor. This movie is not trying to hold back in any regard.

It's not often that movies come along that really push the eerie creep factor. This movie is not trying to hold back in any regard. Whether it be imagination, or gore, or scare factor, it has it all. It's not perfect, however, I think there is so much content and lore that it needed more time to really convey it all. But what it does, it does with a beautiful flare that certain horror masterpieces have, such as Event Horizon, or In the Mouth of Madness. All it needs is Sam Neil and it would be great!… Expand

You don't get a lot of body horror movies nowadays, so this was a nice throwback. There are some really freaky Lovecraftian monsters, and the whole thing is delightfully violent and demented.

The exhibition and dialogue do leave room for improvement but this isn't enough to detract from the scares.

I really wanted to like this film - it's dark, weird, surreal - but somehow it's just so mundane and bland. I kept trying to will myself to engage with what I presumed was "really cool" on the screen and yet I felt nothing.

The main focus was clearly the practical effects over plot substance and acting which was mediocre at best and convoluted beyond belief. There were so many nonsensical moments just for sheer shock value, even though they had great practical effects on a low budget.

There were so many nonsensical moments just for sheer shock value, even though they had great practical effects on a low budget. Overall this was a let down after reading and seeing so many great reviews claiming it to be a Carpenter style horror throwback. It was really nothing more than practical effect monsters and gore.… Expand

The acting isAfter seeing praise compare this movie to The Thing and Hellraiser, I was extremely excited to see a practical special effects horror movie. But I'm afraid to say, this film is nothing like its predecessors and will eventually be forgotten as another mediocre horror film. The acting is serviceable, not great, but it's really the special effects we came here to see, and they are nothing compared to the genius of what Rob Botin did in The Thing. Darkness and flashing strobe lights are used to hide the prosthetics, and even then you just can't tell what you're looking it, it's just a blob of something fast edited. The plot itself is good, but there's no scary stuff here, not really, it's just a shadow of what it could have been. I have to recommend skipping it.… Expand

I can't believe how many positive reviews this movie had. The entire cast and crew must have left positive reviews, because I can't imagine anyone in the audience thinking this movie was decent.

The entire cast and crew must have left positive reviews, because I can't imagine anyone in the audience thinking this movie was decent. Most people must have felt like they wasted their time with this movie and didn't want to waste any more by leaving a review. I'll be the guy to waste a little more time to prevent other people from wasting theirs. The acting was okay, not gonna slam any of the actors, but theyre not likely to win any awards either. The practical effects were okay. You could tell it was low budget since it didn't show any stabbing or cutting. Most of the monsters only appeared in flashing or low light conditions where you couldn't notice detail or lackthereof. That made it a little interesting, I guess. Now for the script... One of the worst movies I've ever seen. No substance, no backstories...I was just waiting for all the characters to die so I could go back to living my life. Save your time and money, this movie is awful… Expand
