Ratings
MPAA Ratings
- Rated: (not rated) (I would expect at least some Violence, Profanity, and perhaps Adult Content)
Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)
Some viewers may find the dreamlike location and atmosphere suggestive of Lovecraft's work (an "Eldritch Location" film).
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
Reviews
Review Links:
- Jay Clarke at The Horror Section (link) - "If I had one criticism though, it was that the creature effects were so good that they overshadowed everything else. Though I had no real problems with the performances and story, I was always waiting for the next set piece."
- Michele Galgana at Screen Anarchy (link) - "The practical special effects really steal the show from the characters..."
- Sean Kelly at Sean Kelly On Movies (link) - "This film goes for a very dark and serious tone, as it unleashes a Lovecraftian nightmare in the depths of this hospital. ...admittedly The Void's early plot set-up isn't the strongest, when all hell finally lets loose, the film greatly makes up for its early weaknesses."
- Shahbaz Khayambashi at Wylie Writes Film Reviews (link) - "The Void is ruined, or at least lessened, by its plot which is a convoluted mess with undercooked characters and very little payoff."
- Meagan Navarro at ModernHorrors dotcom (link) - "On the one hand, it hits me in my monster loving feels, and I revel in it’s unabashed adoration of ’80s horror. It fills a gaping hole in horror that I’ve missed. On the other hand, however, the film doesn’t feel like anything more than a series of beloved homages. ... Unfortunately, that means that the film loses any sense of true originality as a result."
