Pic related is mine. Such a solid movie. From being a critique of consumerism to racism, to an action movie, to comedy at some points. And while it might not be scary in the traditional sense, the opening scenes detailing the chaos around a news station trying to remain calm during the end of the world are done pretty well and set the mood for surviving the apocalypse.
The Void (2016) Its a fucking awesome not very good movie that does suspense and looking nice very well. The plot is pretty loose, a bunch of people find themselves trapped in a decaying hospital by crowds of cultists outside, inside the hospital are body horror abominations and our intrepid heroes try to figure out what the fuck is going on. Tons of practical special effects, a somewhat nonsensical story, remarkably compelling acting and a really good sense of atmosphere. The Void is a movie with a lot of heart.
The first two of the V/H/S series of short horror anthology films are an absolute blast. I haven’t seen the rest but I hear they fell off.
VHS is weird because the overall quality goes down, but there’s always one short that blows the fuckin socks off the previous best short in the entry.
Two thumbs up for The Void!
It’s been a while since I saw The Void, but I liked how the survivors at the end were basically random. If I remember right, it’s >!a nurse and some guy who showed up in the middle of the movie? We follow the main characters to the hospital, but they all die, and the two people who make it out are strangers and (best of all) aren’t thrown into some haphazard romance subplot.!< It’s a realistic ending in a lovecraftian horror most stories are afraid to do.
The third segment in VHS2, Safe Haven, really deserves its own film.
