The Void (I) (2016)
9/10
A captivating micro-budget Lovecraftian horror thriller!
13 January 2019
The Void is the ultimate example of the fact that great horror does not always require big budget. Its storyline is knitted densely, not a single moment of the film is a waste. Despite the fact that its cast is made up of mostly unknown names, the acting is decent. But the Lovecraftian concept depicted in The Void is so good that you will be more than tolerant of the mediocre acting that occurs at times throughout the film. The film has some key scenes that conveys the point that horror is not always about the scares, those scenes show us that beyond eerie, creepy face of the horror genre. For me this film has been the equivalent of Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, due to this aforementioned effect of it.

Well done, well done in deed.
