Synopsis
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.

Time Out London
For lovers of old-fashioned horror, this is your bloody Christmas. - 70
Screen Daily
It is, however, creepy, suspenseful and nerve-wracking - and marks Gillespie and Kostanski as genre auteurs in the making. - 70
Village Voice
The twisty story and imaginative monsters are enough to overcome the relatively humdrum leads. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
For fans of horror maestros John Carpenter and Stuart Gordon, nothing fills a void like good, old eighties-fashioned gore. Which is what we get from the writer-director team of Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski, unabashed fans of Reagan-era blood, slash and goo. - 60
We Got This Covered
The Void is a portal back to the 80s, hinged on immersive practical effects work that picks up the slack of a slighter story. - 60
Empire
A little too derivative to truly stand out, but gorehounds will love it. Don’t a void. - 60
Total Film
Blending The Thing, Prince of Darkness, Hellraiser and Lovecraftian cosmic horror, this falls flat in suspense and characterisation, but ace ’80s FX – all liquefying latex – will delight genre fans. - 60
Arizona Republic
The Void is a horror film that goes off the rails — not by accident, but on purpose. And not just a little. It’s gloriously off the rails, unhinged, absolutely bonkers.
