Review Tuesday: The Void (2016)

  

 

The Void

(2016) 

Cultists attempt to bring an undescribable horror into the world. 

One night my BFF suggested seeing THE VOID. This movie is well documented as classic cosmic horror, so I was more than willing to give it a shot. 

 

A cop, Daniel Carter (Aaron Poole), discovered a man near death and rushed him to a small local hospital for treatment. What that cop didn't know was that two men were hunting him down for unknown reasons and his companion is killed in a grotesque manner. 

 

This movie is a WILD ride. It's exactly what you would expect from genuine Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror. Weird stuff just continues to happen, but there's a reason for it all. And it all builds to... something terrible. 

 

Really, this is quite a well made horror film in the tradition of HP Lovecraft. Cultists. Reanimating the dead. Vile creatures. People losing their minds. Gateways to other dimensions. It's all in there, and it is all well-written and makes sense. This is a movie I have meant to see for quite a while and I am happy that I finally did!
