I was completely unaware of The Void until last night. Now it’s one of my most anticipated movies of the next few weeks. (I mean, come on, it looks great, but I don’t want to oversell it, right?)
Written and directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski, The Void looks like a mix of John Carpenter’s The Thing and Prince of Darkness, the cosmic horror tales of H.P. Lovecraft, and just a hint of Hellraiser II: Hellbound.
Give this brief, gory, gooey, NSFW teaser trailer a watch below.
YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
So, that looks promising. Here’s an official synopsis:
Encountering a blood-soaked man on a dark deserted road, a police officer rushes the victim to the local hospital. Soon the staff and patients are trapped by a terrifying, otherworldly threat and forced on a hellish voyage into the depths of the building to escape the nightmare. Shocking, haunting and boasting mind-blowing practical special effects, The Void is a new must-see horror event, starring Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim vs the World), Kathleen Munroe (Alphas), Aaron Poole (Forsaken) and Kenneth Welsh (The Aviator) and Daniel Fathers. Written and directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski and from the Executive Producer of The Witch.
The Void will tentacle its way into UK cinemas on March 31st. US theaters will get The Void on April 7th.
