Review of The Void

The Void (I) (2016)
1/10
Self-indulgent crap with paid positive reviews!
28 February 2018
If the producers and director of this movie are going to make a film this convoluted and non-cohesive out of some sort of desire to make an homage, then I get to write a consumer review that accurately describes this mess!

This movie has so many disparate parts of other horror movies thrown together to constitute a separate movie that defies description due to its inconceivable plot lines. Is it horror? Yes, Its a horrible film because it tries to be something its not. Is it science fiction? Yes, its scientifically a bad movie!

The dialogue (script) is a mess------lots of superfluous use of yelling and the "F" word, to no practical benefit. There is gore, but that does not sustain a movie.

This movie seems to have been made not for the enjoyment of the movie viewers, but to satisfy the movie makers desires to be seen as in the same company as "iconic" horror storytellers from the past------storytellers who are no longer relevant to consumer tastes.

I won't name these former icons of horror filmmaking because that is what the makers of "The Void" want in comparison of their effort.

The Void is aptly titled because their are several voids in the plot. Any reasonable viewer is left wondering, "What the hell is that included for", or "What just happened?'

There is absolutely no redeeming quality to this film. Given that, examine the hyperbole and scores used by the paid reviewers and production crew ro celebrate this movie. You will see the corruption that IMDb has fostered.

Its alarming that IMDb has allowed paid reviewers or people affiliated with the production to hijack the reviews to promote this movie among others. It seems to be part of the movie -making process today to include post-production positive reviews on IMDb as part of the marketing. Its dishonest!
