There is a tinnny bit of corny writing and a couple weird performances, but otherwise it's a ton of fun. I've seen it a handful of times over a few years
@@brianstanton2721 yeah I think the main problem with most movies trying to show Lovecraft themes is that they always fail at explaining what’s happening. Another movie that’s very good Lovecraft content is The Lighthouse
@@gggallin8279 ya heard that movies awesome as hell I need to watch it. I heard it ties into Annihilation as well, could be wrong tho, but that would make perfect sense and it would be cool af
I thought it was fairly Lowe budget but the SFX are as good as any. Everything seems like it does have a high production value I bet it was still inexpensive, but they got the most of every dollar. Unfortunately..... Hollywood doesn't promote films like this anymore. So I only heard about this a few years ago
Caught this film with my roommate one night, wasn't sure what I was watching at first but this movie was amazing. Great horror film heavily influenced by gothic horror. A true gem!
eldritch horror is so hard to get right on screen but i really think they nailed it for the most part, absolutely worth watching for anyone who likes lovecraftian stories.
Thank You right like the thing itches that scritch you didn't know you had in one spot but then this comes along after the thing 2011 this movie itches that scritch all around amazing wish they'd make another exploring the Void
Yeah I agree with both of you! I didn't even know about the void I saw a video on it and I stopped everything I was doing and watched it and loved it, it was glorious in it's no holds barred no punches pulled vision of unknowable unavoidable horrific chaos! And I love that if you look hard enough it connects to the likes of hellraiser and even event horizon which if you haven't seen that watch it it's great. But the connections are just too awesome so I'm going with its Canon haha
@@erickhart8046 yeah agreed and it's not for everyone I mean no movie/book is, but for people like us that are fans of this sort of thing it is gold, and like I said I went from not knowing about it to putting it on the list of my favorite movies of all time all in like a few hours span haha
As a Lovecraft fan this is one of the few movies I would say captures the essence of cosmic horror. The pyramid floating in the sky before our protagonists was truly nihilistic and terrifying at the same time. Thanks for a brilliant overview.
The "Nyarlathotep" artwork at 15:43 has always been a personal favorite bit of Lovecraftian artwork for me... I forget the name of the artist who created it, but it's a really neat take on the Outer god. Most depictions of the Crawling Chaos are overwhelmingly drab with heavy use of blacks and greys, but I love how they flipped that concept on its head and went with a more radiantly colorful approach with all of the purple/violet, magenta, and orange/yellow. I've just always adored that piece...
Yeah I mean it's a really cool take like it's unimaginable some lovcraftian cosmetic God could be terrifying, but beautiful and awe inspiring at the same time like if it's so above our head attempting to comprehend it turns one to madness than there is no limit to how it could look and the interpretations artistically that can be taken
I interpreted it as Nyarlathotep in it's Black Pharaoh avatar. This would correlate with the pyramid, and the toying with people's fears, longings and singularity of time. Really enjoyed this analysis of such a great horror film
Mind control would be more in the alley of Yog Sothoth which also resides in a dimension outside our own. Don't think that mutations would really suit it though. The key and the gate.
The Void is one of the many great Cosmic Horror movie.. it's so hopelessly dark and like the name suggests void and the affects and designs of the monsters are way above my expectations, wish it got more recognition it truly deserves
@@Vishanti Either watching someone cover cosmic horror or someone covering the worst of religions. Either one is bound to have a crazy cult be involved eventually.
I found this movie randomly one night on a streaming service and thought it looked like a cool action movie (I don’t like anything horror based) I couldn’t stop watching. Something about the cosmic horror really just made me so interested even scared I couldn’t look away.
The Void was one of the best films I have seen in a while. So good I went out of my way to buy it. There's even some people who have formed pretty believable theories that link The Void with Twin Peaks.
Such an underrated film. Shame that very few people ever react to The Void. I also love the musical score here as well. Would love to see you cover Apostle, a folk period style of supernatural horror/thriller film from 2018.
This was one of the coolest frickin' things I have ever seen! Coming from a massive fan of Lovecraft, (and of Warhammer 40k., and Bloodborne as a result), I have never even heard of this movie before! Is Azathoth the one who, if he ever wakes up, everybody is SCREWED, and even Cthulhu is afraid of! The Void is DEFINITELY one of those movies that could fit as a "prequel" to Warhammer 40k., like Event Horizon! DAMN, I have to find this movie somewhere now!
I really love this film for the type of horror it is. It's not super flashy, it doesn't explain absolutely everything. It's good and so many people don't know it exists still.
Honestly I am glad it's underappreciated. Just imagine if it was popular and then Hollywood wanted to make a part 2,3,4,5,6 and then a prequel and most likely they'd take a giant crap on the original.
If anyone wants to watch this movie, its on RUclips. This is my favorite horror film of all time! These guys were able to do this with a very small budget and it almost never happened. I'd love to see this movie with a larger budget and all the same actors! Glad you're finally covering this one.
Thanks Niyat! Another outstanding synopsis of a movie I haven't seen yet, but will now check out because of your excellent in-depth analysis, as I've come to expect from you. Great Job!
One of my favorite horror films of recent times. Beyond the purely cosmetic discussion you cover in the video, the film is also engaging due to it's deeper theme of grief and loss. The emotional & physical loss of a spouse, a child, a parent. All eliciting responses running from selfish relief to outright insanity. Thanks for covering this gem of a film.
I watched this on Showtime a year after its theatrical release and it's a pretty impressive, if not, insane Body Horror Thriller film. I even watched it on TUBI 3 years ago, and it's still pretty good.
I think the idea of the creatures in the basement is that they're the failed experiments of Powell in his attempts to use the power of the Void in an attempt to gain immortality
My favorite personal interpretation for eldritch entities being all tentacles/gorey/etc is that from their original realm they don't have a kind of physical form, but upon being summoned they are forcefully given one that is struggling to adapt to its noneuclidean form. An analogy would be like trying to force a word document into a different format, and thus getting a corrupted file
As for the mind effects, I had always seen it as the presence of the human psyche being reflected back onto the environment/themselves, the eldritch entity not *intentionally* creating fear and illusion onto subjects, but rather a human conscience within its vicinity becomes as warped as much as it warps time, space, and living organisms.
A wonderful descent into the depths of Lovecraft's genius. "The Void" ´, being one the four films forming the Renaissance of Horror in the years 2014 to 2016 (after horror died years ago), is a timeless gem.
@@HassanZaheer02 Of course. The four films showed the different kinds of Horror. Since The Void was a bit of gory :), the others are The Autopsy of Jane Doe, The Babadook and It Follows. Have chills, man.
They absolutely nailed it with this film. When it ratchets up in the second half I thought it got the feel of the descent into the horror, the dread building as things get more and more horrific and just straight up mental. Top notch 😗👌
You mentioned sound design but not specifically the baby-creature. It sounded like a human baby but it also sounded like an interdimensional monstrosity. They wove the two together disturbingly well.
Seeing Carter and Alison in that eldritch realm gives me chills. They were desperate to stop the ritual only to end up in a place far too unknown to them.
This movie is up there with The Wailing and The Autopsy of Jane Doe in my book. I just love movies that oftentimes don't give a "happy ending" and leave the viewer pondering what it all means. Sidenote: I haven't seen Midsommar or Hereditary yet which is why I haven't mentioned them.
Another horror explained channel introduced me to this film a couple years ago. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but it looks like it may be one of those gems found among a sea of scary films. A lot of cool concepts and sick practical effects.
Amazing, fascinating, and horrifying. I've read about half of Lovecraft's works and can see all the elements involved. I enjoy your reviews of the films that you do. This one seemed different, it was a big project and a lot to unpack. You did a wonderful job. I may not want to see the film, but I am grateful for making it understandable and comprehensible.
The first time I ran into this movie, I was totally unprepared! Everything about this movie is entirely next level. From a a relatively unknown cast and stunning practical effects it's almost like when I first saw The Thing. Always amazes me how some silly CGI gory type films get so popular when stuff like this gets overlooked.
A great cosmic horror movie that had a lot of unknowns but the only certain knowing that things was growing in escalation into madness leading to a complete moment of awe and unknowingness with no certainty of what happens afterwards like waking up from a fever dream before getting any clear answers.
Thanks to Shudder's free month back during COVID, I discovered this amazing indie film, and since have watched it 10 times, many times with friends. They all loved it too.
There's nothing I love more than what is displayed in this movie, along with survival horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, which is also pretty cosmic horror, too, that thing being monsters with incredibly human names. Yeah, that's just Beverly, doing Beverly stuff.
I remember deciding to watch this with a few alcoholic beverages in me a few years ago when it was on netflix, was a really enjoyable but trippy cosmic horror flick. nice to see you discussing it
This is one of the scariest and greatest movies out there. And nobody has ever heard of it. It really is one of those great movies no one has ever heard of.
I love this film! There need, no, *MUST BE* more Lovecraft based films made! So far it's been Color Out of Space, John Carpenter's the Thing, Underwater, this film. If there are any other Lovecraft based or influenced films, please recommend them to me!
- Annihilation - From Beyond - John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness - John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness - Stephen King's IT (Remake) - Stephen King's The Mist (movie) - The Color out of Space - The Void (this one) - Event Horizon - Prometheus (maybe including ALIEN & ALIENS, though those are primarily just Space Monster movies, with only "some" hints of Cosmic Horror) - Infini - The Endless (though it's Cosmic Horror, I find it quite weak Cosmic Horror) - Skyline (don't get me wrong, it's primarily just ALIEN INVASION, but the threat is a strong biomechanical Cosmic Horror that doesn't get a shit to get what it wants/needs, and humanity doesn't stand a chance... in Part 1) There's probably more, but right now I don't remember the names of what could be interesting. There are some videogames. - DEAD SPACE franchise (including some animated movies & comics/books) - Eternal Darkness - Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth - Call of Cthulhu (PS4) - Sinking City - Chernobylite (not that much, primarily at the very end) - Conarium - Transient - Darkwood - Everybody's gone to the Rapture (kinda) - Lovecraft's Untold Stories - Moons of Madness - Lust for Darkness & Lust from Beyond - The Solus Project - The Shore - Apsulov: End of Gods (to a degree) - Mass Effect (the main threat, the Reapers, probably in the same sense, for me, as the "Skyline" movie) - Control - Bloodborne - The Darkest Dungeon - Returnal (but ONLY on the surface) - Edge of Nowhere (VR) And that's just what I can think of right now...
I love this channel so much! I've been following your channel from the start and I just love it so much! One of the most entertaining channels on RUclips! Keep up the amazing work and thanks for the great content!
The Void was an excellent and beautifully executed Lovecraftian and body horror film in recent cinema history.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🖤 That reminds the audience of fearing the unknown and beyond human understanding. This also reminds me of those good old Lovecraftian films back in the 80s. Like the Reanimator.💀
Just finished watching this for my current horror binge, very epic, nice twist and turns. Also, had to make a double take when you said Aaron Poole, thought you meant Arron Paul lol. He does sorta look like an alternate reality of him.
Literally one of my favorites. When i first read about it, it was described as what you get when you cross john carpenter, hellraiser, and hp lovecraft and i was like "YOOOO I NEED TO SEE THIS!!!"
So glad to see this movie covered. Eldritch horror is my favorite type of horror and this movie is a love letter to it
Eldritch is the best kind of horror
Evena bad movie can be made interesting with a bit of eldritch thrown in.
What are some of your favorites? I've been looking for some and can't find any good ones.

I love this film! There need, no, *MUST BE* more Lovecraft based films made! So far it's been Color Out of Space, John Carpenter's the Thing, Underwater, this film. If there are any other Lovecraft based or influenced films, please recommend them to me!
In the Mouth of Madness
Annihilation, and Sunshine are two others that I recommend. There's also Event Horizon, Jacobs Ladder and The Mist.
- Annihilation
- From Beyond
- John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness
- John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness
- Stephen King's IT (Remake)
- Stephen King's The Mist (movie)
- The Color out of Space
- The Void (this one)
- Event Horizon
- Prometheus (maybe including ALIEN & ALIENS, though those are primarily just Space Monster movies, with only "some" hints of Cosmic Horror)
- Infini
- The Endless (though it's Cosmic Horror, I find it quite weak Cosmic Horror)
- Skyline (don't get me wrong, it's primarily just ALIEN INVASION, but the threat is a strong biomechanical Cosmic Horror that doesn't get a shit to get what it wants/needs, and humanity doesn't stand a chance... in Part 1)
There's probably more, but right now I don't remember the names of what could be interesting.
There are some videogames.
- DEAD SPACE franchise (including some animated movies & comics/books)
- Eternal Darkness
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
- Call of Cthulhu (PS4)
- Sinking City
- Chernobylite (not that much, primarily at the very end)
- Conarium
- Transient
- Darkwood
- Everybody's gone to the Rapture (kinda)
- Lovecraft's Untold Stories
- Moons of Madness
- Lust for Darkness & Lust from Beyond
- The Solus Project
- The Shore
- Apsulov: End of Gods (to a degree)
- Mass Effect (the main threat, the Reapers, probably in the same sense, for me, as the "Skyline" movie)
- Control
- Bloodborne
- The Darkest Dungeon
- Returnal (but ONLY on the surface)
- Edge of Nowhere (VR)
And that's just what I can think of right now...
Annihilation is a phantasmagorical fuckfest of beauty. Love that film to death. 😂
@@sillysokka1130 Sorry I hated Annihilation. Creature effects and nightmare fuel scores can't save that film.
I love this channel so much! I've been following your channel from the start and I just love it so much! One of the most entertaining channels on RUclips! Keep up the amazing work and thanks for the great content!
Absolutely brilliant film, I really thought it was a throw back to the things animatronics with the amazing creature effects
How About Explaining About Tyranids (Warhammer 40k)
Sounds like a good plan!
Im surprised it didnt already happen
Yooo the into goes hard af! ❤❤❤
I love this movie. Hard to believe it still has a measly 5.9 rating on IMDB. I know it's not for everybody, but that's still mind-boggling.
The Void was an excellent and beautifully executed Lovecraftian and body horror film in recent cinema history.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🖤 That reminds the audience of fearing the unknown and beyond human understanding. This also reminds me of those good old Lovecraftian films back in the 80s. Like the Reanimator.💀
Just finished watching this for my current horror binge, very epic, nice twist and turns. Also, had to make a double take when you said Aaron Poole, thought you meant Arron Paul lol. He does sorta look like an alternate reality of him.
One of my favorite trippy horror Lovecraft movies I've ever seen
Watched this a while ago but was pleasently surprised by how good and eerie it was
Literally one of my favorites.
When i first read about it, it was described as what you get when you cross john carpenter, hellraiser, and hp lovecraft and i was like "YOOOO I NEED TO SEE THIS!!!"
Great film, glad to see you covering it 😊
The ending song you got is so fly bro!!
The void is one of the best inspired Lovecraft movies.
I cant believe this movie flew under my radar. Watching it right now.
"Like a Top G"? I LOVE this channel. ❤
I don't have a complete top five yet but this is one of them. In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Evil Dead, and this movie.
This movie was awesome thanks for covering it😎👍
A great little movie. I'd love to see what this person does next!
