A Rundown of the 13 Best Horror Movies I've Seen in the Past Year
[8 of 13]
THE VOID
(September 2016)
"You'd be surprised at the things you find when you go
looking.”
Co-written and co-directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski (art and make-up veterans on the sorely missed Hannibal, among other things), The Void is the kind of horror film that does not f*ck around.

As
per this excerpt from the synopsis on the film’s Indiegogo page (more on that
later), 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…
Dot
dot dot indeed.
“… [T]he body has to
adjust, of course. Adapt. We weren’t… built for this kind of thing.”
Suffice
it to say that experiencing The Void
is like having rotting, putrid gobbets of Carpenter, Fulci, and Cronenberg
(along with some stringy bits of Lovecraft) flung right in your face… in the
best possible way.
There’s
plenty of dread and gruesome practical effects (to which the Indiegogo funds
went), and if you’re in the mood for some disturbing cosmic horror, you’d be
well advised to step right up and into The
Void.
“I defy God. There are
things much older. Older than time. And they blessed me.”
