The Void (2016)



Could have been better but not a bad effort, IMO. From Fulci to Carpenter & Cronenberg, a decent throwback to 80s Body horror & sci-fi horror.

Thanks for the recs and the heads-ups, guys.


In one word - fantastic!

The ambience throughout the film was so densely creepy, you could cut a knife through it. Had a cheap jump scare very early in the film which made me go "Oh no! Surely not another one with those?!", but I am glad that I was proved wrong.
The whole film is built on a veritable bed of tenseness, so much so that you are left squirming and muttering "What the ****?!" under your breath most of the time. And the huge "Oh no, that didn't just happen!" scene at around the 50-minute mark adds to the sweating.
Just 2 major actors, but both of them owned the scenery. And of course, the beautiful yet achingly haunting Jane Doe.
When you end up chewing your fingernails, you know that you watched something which was really damn good. This has become one of my favorites from recent years.
Bring on a sequel as soon as you can, director of TrollHunter!

Apparently, I've blocked it from my memory because I don't remember a scene with a cat.

The Tilden father & son have a cat, which was apparently one of the few things left back by Tilden Sr's deceased wife.
It prowls around hunting mice, snarls by baring all it's teeth when Jane Doe is wheeled in for the autopsy, and is later found inside an AC vent.
Tilden Jr pulls it out, and then *that* happens.
