Review of The Void

The Void (I) (2016)
7/10
Horror Worth Watching
10 April 2017
I eagerly waited to see this one but didn't have high expectations. Thankfully, was actually "better" than I hoped. If you're a fan of H. P. Lovecraft or mythos themed movies, you'll consider this a decent flick. If that sort of ancient elder evil from outside isn't your sort of thing, steer clear of this one. I'd compare it to "The Resurrected" with Chris Sarandon. Both have the same visceral creature effects and outer horror theme. Good acting and production values. Basically the story is about a tiny group of people trapped in a nearly abandoned small town hospital while under siege by cultists. There is actually much more going on with the plot with a couple of twists I didn't see coming and while you never get a tired explanation, you do get just enough to piece together what has been going on in this small town. It is action and gore heavy with good old-school creature effects not CGI. Sadly, I don't think we don't get enough of this kind of modern horror movies. I rather enjoyed this and picked up a copy to keep. It isn't anything stellar, but I was pleased with it and can say it was worth watching.
