اس مووی کے بارے میں

In the middle of a routine patrol, officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital staffed by a skeleton crew, only to discover that patients and personnel are transforming into something inhuman. As the horror intensifies, Carter leads the other survivors on a hellish voyage into the subterranean depths of the hospital in a desperate bid to end the nightmare before it's too late.

درجہ بندی اور جائزے

Horror, sci-f, mystery - all combined perfectly to create this engaging and thought provoking story that kinda feels a little like lots of other movies, yet has something very new to offer. Low budget, but very well produced and directed, and has a high-quality feel in every respect. It's as if THE THING, DAWN OF THE DEAD, HELLRAISER and a CTHULHU movie have all been mixed together. I normally get a bit tense during good horror movies, but although this is a quite extreme, it's so engaging and you indentify with the characters so much that I was more chilled out during the movie than beforehand.

I had high hopes for this being a horror movie classic as good as Stuart Gordon and Brian Yuzna's Lovecraft adaptations, so I was disappointed when The Void (2016) failed to live up to that promise. However, it remains a very entertaining and worthy attempt at a Lovecraft - inspired movie, that a great amount of love and huge amounts of blood sweat and tears went into it's creation. The scripting and tone are a little hit and miss, but the physical effects are pleasingly gross and performances are solid. ( Warning: contains scenes of strobe effects and flashing imagery).

Not bad, but some shoddy special effects and too many elements of other classic horror movies mar what could have been a great genre movie. It actually rips off The Beyond quite shamelessly, too. A few good bits, though, and quite tense in places.
