The Film StageJared MobarakApr 6, 2017
Its style is audacious, its plot minimalist, and its future full of potential. Read full review

Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonMar 27, 2017
For lovers of old-fashioned horror, this is your bloody Christmas. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeApr 13, 2017
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

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayApr 6, 2017
Few horror fans will complain about a movie that’s so generous with well-constructed, energetically staged set pieces featuring elaborate makeup effects and plenty of nondigital goo. The Void is derivative, but delightful. Read full review

Village VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonApr 6, 2017
The twisty story and imaginative monsters are enough to overcome the relatively humdrum leads. Read full review

Screen DailyKim NewmanMar 27, 2017
It is, however, creepy, suspenseful and nerve-wracking - and marks Gillespie and Kostanski as genre auteurs in the making. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerMar 30, 2017
For fans of horror maestros John Carpenter and Stuart Gordon, nothing fills a void like good, old eighties-fashioned gore. Which is what we get from the writer-director team of Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski, unabashed fans of Reagan-era blood, slash and goo. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzApr 6, 2017
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

Total FilmJamie GrahamApr 4, 2017
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

EmpireChris Hewitt (1)Apr 3, 2017
A little too derivative to truly stand out, but gorehounds will love it. Don’t a void. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoMar 27, 2017
The Void is a portal back to the 80s, hinged on immersive practical effects work that picks up the slack of a slighter story. Read full review

Austin ChronicleDan GentileApr 12, 2017
For fans of full-throttle gore, The Void delivers, but for better or worse, it doesn’t really stop along the way to explain itself. Read full review
