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

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...

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 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.

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.

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.

You’re finally covering this master piece yessss!

We don't have enough good cosmic horrors like this fantastic film.

That's a criminally underrated gem of lovecraftian movie.

I love this movie so much! Cosmic horror is so difficult to bring to life on film and I think they did an amazing job with it.

I backed the crowdfund for this movie! So pleased to have helped make it happen.

I was obsessed with this movie when this came out. I’m surprised this hasn’t been covered already.

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.

Omg one of my fav cosmic horror movies ever!! Event Horizon levels for me!

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

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.

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!

This was my random midnight pick to watch and I loved every moment of it

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.

I adore movies like this that I just randomly stumbled on during a sci fi binge and it turned out to be really good.

Yesss!! I’ve been wanting you to cover this one! Thank you FCE! Hope you’re having a good day 😊

The void really gives you an opportunity to grasp the inconceivable

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.

Yes. I was waiting for you to do this gem. Absolutely underrated gem.

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!

"Like a top G.."🤣🤣🤣 . Love your video breakdowns and reviews my man!

If anyone wants to watch this movie, its on KZread. 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.

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.

We need more fabulous Lovecraftian cosmic horror like this!!!

Still one of my favorite movies of all time, shame they never made a sequel.

I literally just finished watching this movie. Great timing!

Finally after all these years I remember recommending this movie glad to see you cover it.

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.

Great film, glad to see you covering it 😊

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.

Guess I'll be adding this to my watchlist

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

@dysn3961

Ай бұрын

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.

One of my favorite trippy horror Lovecraft movies I've ever seen

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.💀

The practical effects reminds me of John Carpenter's 'The Thing' and the cosmic horror of "Event Horizon". Fantastic.. Thanks Nyat!
