The Void (2017)

Lack of good storyline.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I read some reviews and hype that said this felt like a Carpenter film because of the stranded and surrounded element. Maybe in one or two shots but Carpenters film properly set up the reason for being surrounded, this film didn't.It kinda wanted to be a Carpenter film but then wanted to be like Hellraiser but descended into silliness and an over reliance on makeup, rubber masks and self important mumbo jumbo.The script had little or no clarity, the acting was bordering on the embarrasing and the writing...well pretty lame.I bought this blind on the hope that I might land myself a little gem but I just got a film that I wish I hadn't bought.

While there is some creativity to this flick as well as decent old school monster / gore effects, at the heart of it it's one of those evil cult kind of movies where you pretty much know nobody has a chance. So no real balance, which I personally feel a good movie should haveAbout mid way through I started to lose interest but kept with it as I figure I made it that far might as well see how it ended, which it did, weirdly... It's certainly a movie I won't remember for long and will never look to watch again. I only watched it because of some damn web site that was highlighting hidden netflix gems, and although the review score on IMDB should have been the dead giveaway I gave it a watch anyway as I used to be a fan of 80's monster / gore flicks.Maybe I grew out of the genre or maybe this movie just wasn't very good. Meh, oh well, I've certainly blown 90 minutes on worse things in my life. Like the 10 minutes writing this review, lol

This movie needs to be renamed avoid because that's the only thing you should ever do with it

For a start, where was the flashing lights warning?! Just don't waste your time. There are so many more films out there. How on Earth did this manage to get any positive views at all let alone a lot!? It was terrible! The acting was horrible, the story was pathetically vague. The characters had nothing about them to make you care whether they lived of died, The 'special effects' were bad, just so bad. The Thing and The Fly had better effects and this was made in 2016?! i guess they were trying to go for some sort of shock effect with how edgy and gory and shocking their 'creatures' were. Yeeeah, it didn't work. Also when you are shooting something to try and save the fricken world and your lives, Don't STOP shooting! Makes no sense.
