In a dramatic and terrifying story about a police officer named Carter, he suddenly discovered that a bloodied man was limping along a deserted road in a terrifying sight. The officer rushed to the local hospital with the help of a staff member to do what was necessary and the officer found the hospital surrounded by similar figures. The life inside the hospital has turned into a daze and everyone - whether sick or staff - has turned into a strange state of activity to protect the survivors. Carter's mission is to pull everyone who is inside the hospital into the depths of the hospital.
If only writer-directors Steven Kostanski and Jeremy Gillespie had lavished as much love and attention on plot and structure as they clearly did on production and theme, this ickfest might have been more than a nod to the gory glories of '80s horror.
One of the more action-packed features to come from the current crop of John Carpenter-inspired filmmakers, The Void finds collaborators Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski going much further than many of their peers.
This throwback to John Carpenter/Clive Barker horror films is completely insane, horribly acted, and totally great for anybody who likes their horror served up with a side of cheese.
