Day 5, 2017 – The Void

The Void Poster
2016

 

Crowdfunded movies with no rating premiering on Netflix. Let’s see where this goes…

The movie starts with a massacre in a drug house in the woods followed by two guys burning a body, all while a person in a white sheet with a black triangle on its face watches.

A cop sitting on patrol in the same woods finds a guy crawling out onto the road. The cop, Daniel, brings the broken man to the closest hospital which is a half burnt, almost condemned place with few supplies and even fewer staff and patients. And then Daniel the cop makes it even fewer by killing the nurse who killed a patient. Then stuff gets weird.

While a monster of indescribable features and girth roams the halls, the Tri-Klan guy is back with a bunch of his friends and surrounds the hospital. Then they move the cop’s car. I’m not sure if they moved it with their minds or their arms; it’s hard to tell if these are the undernourished type of cult members, or super ripped ones.

After a father and his son-in-law run into the hospital and try to explain they’ve been killing these cult members for days, no one seems too concerned or connects the hulking monster in the recovery ward and the Kreepy Klan outside.

The one nurse left, who is also Daniel’s estranged wife stupidly tries to go retrieve supplies from another part of the hospital, not the least bit concerned that they might have been damaged by the fire that happened recently. I mean I know when I’m looking for fresh antibiotics, the first place I check is the site of a dumpster fire.

The movie, and the characters, descend into madness. This is obviously some Cthulhu cult that’s gotten so popular in the past few years among people who love talking about cosmic planes of existence and all knowing power and light and ignoring H.P. Lovecraft’s sexism and racism. They’re really just a jump to the right of Scientology in their indoctrination, although Scientologists don’t usually form monster zombies out of their members. Although I don’t know where John Travolta’s hairline comes from recently.
