It's highly disappointing to see a movie use a concept as awesome as cosmic horror as little more than a facilitator for gore porn.
Awful movie—skip unless under the influence, with friends and planning to be under the influence, enthusiastic about gore porn, or diehard aficionado for anything pertaining to cosmic horror.
0.5/5
Fuck shilling your shit movie
If your severe autism didn't prevent you from attending middle school, you'd have the critical reading skills necessary to understand I'm doing anything but shilling.
Posting shit reviews still equates to shilling/advertising your shit movie.
You have no talent, kill yourself.
I wish I could say I'm surprised to learn you have no idea what the definition of shilling is. You could've at least picked up on that before adding it to your cute little meme dictionary along with "cuck" and "kill yourself" (we're 2/3 on the Autism Bingo board so far).
Remain a cipher. And keep bumping my thread, ya fat bitch.
it was fun movie that paid homage to 80s horror movies
you're taking it too serious
Nah, I just didn't like it. Gratuitous and badly acted at best.
It sucks because I actually love fun movies. The Mummy and Raimi's Spidey (including 3) are classics.
GOAT MOTY
cool ideas, lots of thieving of carpenter movies though. they kept showing way to much shit. less is more. it should of ended when they jumped into the void realm not shown the couple nice and safe looking at a pyramid.
It was pretty fun. Classic movie at 2am on tv style.
t. shill
I liked it. OP is a fag as usual.
>On aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, it currently holds a 74% approval rating.
Wait are you seriously telling me critics are praising a gore film?.
This hasnt happend since saw 1
No he is right. Movie was shit. Acting was total garbage.
No you're both wrong, and stupid. It was a great movie. The things that you think are because you are mentally retarded, and you should kill yourself.

haha. last night i watched the first third of the void (2016) before realizing that this was not the void i was looking for and watching the void (2017)
the void was actually pretty good.
>It's a shill pretends to give a negative review in order to look like he's not a shill and gets people talking about his shit movie episode
Stop advertising your shitty movie
I saw it it sucked
how did it suck? it had a cool story, cool effects, decent acting, and it was a cool idea.
How is discussing a movie shilling? god you stupid fucking nigger fuck you
>having tinfoil in your blood cells
>eating paint chips as a kid
they've never even seen the movie but bash it
what if you have seen it and still think it sucks?
then you're probably lying or don't know your head from your ass. most people can't see a movie even as they're watching it, and nothing makes them happy in life unless they've been anally memed so hard that they don't doubt this should make them happy.
i assume that someone who doesn't like the void has bad family relations and no girlfriend.

>being a sad sack of shit loser is so patrician
yeah man it is
nah, but your explanation outs you as an unequivocal idiot. my sympathies.
>unequivocal idiot
put the thesaurus down, you're using it wrong.
explain why, mr. dilettante.
yeah it wasnt too good.
It's not cosmic horror, at all, whatsoever.
>being this retarded
>not knowing shit about genre convention
Did you watch that ridiculous mobster short about the guy with his heart on the opposite side. I waited for the cosmic horror twist & thought the buttons were some cult symbol.
first of all
>dilettante
jesus fucking christ stop. i am actually feeling second hand embarrasment for you.
a diletttante, or someone who pretends like they're smart in a way they're clearly not, is someone who would call someone an 'unequivocal' idiot, instead of just an idiot or a fucking idiot or a complete idiot... because it's fucking cringy 'enlightened by my own vocabulary' shit. give it a break and stop trying to look smart. nobody fucking says 'unequivocal idiot' in speech, i'm not sure anyone has ever said it in the history of the human race who wasn't some twerp trying to look smart.
allow me to provide a complimentary shovel for you to continue to dig yourself deeper with.
it is by definition cosmic horror. pretty good cosmic horror, too. sorry there's not enough memes for you people.
go ahead and explain how it's not cosmic horror "at all"
lmfao yes i fucking did. i thought the same thing, that the buttons were some cult symbol. i had no idea where it was going until i got suspicious and fast forwarded around and saw zero tentacles.
>being this much of a cipher
xD
how's that shovel working out? nice n sharp?
Nigga tf you on
no idea what you're talking about. i don't pay attention to the words of uncultured swine.
>it is by definition cosmic horror. pretty good cosmic horror, too. sorry there's not enough memes for you people.
>go ahead and explain how it's not cosmic horror "at all"
Alright so. I guess I'll have to spoil it to do so.
Cosmic horror is a genre of 'weird fiction' primarily focusing on a strictly materialist worldview with a protagonist(s) whose beliefs about the world, universe, nature, etc. are blown open by the implication and overt reference to a wider universe in which their beliefs are either wrong or the tip of the iceberg because of something they personally experience and come out of shaken and ridden with the true knowledge, or don't survive. Cosmic horror expounds on themes of the unknown, the vastness of the universe, the limitation of human knowledge and ability, existential dread and the incompatibility of the wider universe to narrow human experience.
Not a fucking shred of that appears in The Void. This movie is painted with very broad strokes. My first problem is the lack of a protagonist who embodies the human experience. We get a gruff cop type guy who quite coldly deals with the problems he encounters. His ex-wife nurse, the intern girl, the state trooper, all of these characters don't actually partake in any cosmic revelation of their place in the universe and the fragility of their world. They see some (stiff as all fuck practical effect) monsters, the main villain espouses a single cryptic throw-away line about catching the moth that is the human soul (another point against the movie is the implied supernaturalism there) and we see a CGI realm with a big black pyramid the main couple are just dandy in before holding hands and there's absolutely no central theme or message in the movie about human experience. This is a monster movie, no more, no less, with nary a hint of a whiff of any kind of deeper theme to it at all made by people who don't know what they're talking about.
>confirmed for being retarded
sad!
cosmic horror is a genre where horror could not exist without something from the cosmos.
the void is 110% that.
everything you said is stupid memes.
Sorry, I didn't know I was talking down to literal retards.
Oh, this makes me laugh:
>cosmic horror is a genre where horror could not exist without something from the cosmos.
I think maybe you need to actually read a Lovecraft story, friend, and put that Call of Cthulhu RPG down.
i've read every single lovecraft story at least 2-3 times. every. single. one.
you've messed with the wrong motherfucker.
you've been uncovered as a bullshitter.
gg.
>being literally this retarded
pitiful!
>the amount of retardation in this thread
It was alright. I like elements of it, and I don't regret watching it. And I didn't find it "gore porn". The only performance that really felt truly bad to me was the druggy's performance. The rest of the actors were just mediocre but passable.
waste
Oh shit!! You got me dude
S A D !

it's not a fucking joke. i've read lovecrafts entire works several times. i've read more books, in fact, than 99.999999 of the human population, since i read for roughly 8-12 hours a day since before kindergarten through to being expelled in 10th grade.
it is cosmic horror, and you're clueless in the entire realm of art, horror, and literature if you think otherwise.
it's not a problem; just change your mind. say it with me: the void is cosmic horror. reverse your position. it's therapeutic.
Yeah, guess what, I have too, you're not special and you're not that only fan and not the only person who cares, although I might be if you want to let this shallow movie pass as actual cosmic horror. Did you let the lol tentacles meme get you? Because it seems like you did, as that's all Lovecraftian horror is these days. If you gave a shit you'd try to look past the Cthulhu fhtagn memes shat out by Arkham House.
>shallow
muh depth - mere virtue signalling for someone who see's 'being deep' as something that 'one should be', basically, memed at an early age.
you aren't even dealing with the important point, that the movie depicts the events of someone breaching the wall between life and death with the blessing of the Other gods, causing spontaneous manifestations of a wholly alien motivation within living flesh that can not die; your obsession with tentacles clearly caused you to overlook the more important and subtle elements, such as the means by which living tissue burst forth into eldritch motion, driven by an abominable animus.
cosmic.
horror.
fundamentally based on the discomfort we experience realizing that the precarious state of affairs that we're remotely capable of existing in, is a wholly arbitrary state of affairs achieved by chance, a pond in which titanic beings move slowly, over eons, right by us, who's merest glance - whose single thought or breath - spawns horrors such as occurred in that hospital. the essence of 'fear of god'. fear of terrible things older than god.
i don't think you even saw the movie or have read lovecraft or much of anything else. you sure don't act like it. there was no need to drag cthulu into all this.
Just watched it last night, I think it was interesting at the beginning but then I felt like I was watching Resident Evil or some shit, especially near the middle/end when they just started shooting everything. There was too much action and thriller stuff, I would have appreciated a slower buildup and more mystery. Instead, like 15 minutes in it just randomly inserts this big monster into the story and that sets the pace for the rest of the movie
nice meme faggot
>expelled in the 10th grade
kek
what were you expelled for?
i got to school early and put an open staple into every single keyhole on all three floors of the school, and when all the teachers got there and started unlocking their doors, the staple bent into the pins of the lock, meaning the door was permanently locked. so they had to send everyone home that day, and the doors had to be taken off the hinges and the knobs replaced, which i payed for over a year working at subway, where i met my best friend.
totse made me do it.

Just be fucking appreciative that the movie exists and hope that it leads to more proper cosmic horror movies get made. Hopefully it's successful and people start feeling inspired.
Your post is a fucking mess of cherrypicking.
>muh depth
No, user, that's not what shallow means, it means it has no artistic merit, it has no underlying theme. For it to be cosmic horror, it has to, via characters, explore the themes I've already outlined. It doesn't do these.
>tentacles
If you knew modern Lovecraftian media, you'd know what I was talking about. Please consider OPs fucking image - human fingers turning into tentacles. Consider the other two posters for this movie, both triangles with tentacles emerging. Tentacles are, due to decades of abuse and misinformation, shorthand for Lovecraft. It's gotten to the point that there are people who associate tentacles in horror media as being Lovecraftian. It's a symptom of the bastardization of Lovecraft in pop culture. The Void happily carries it on.
The important point of the fucking movie is that it's a story that's been done to death by much better directors and writers. Your big super scary academic words you googled literally just mean 'mad doctor, through supernaturalism (which you conveniently overlook) brought back the dead wrong'. Did you know this is in part the basis of two Lovecraft stories which explore ideas such as: anticipating the concept of adrenaline before it was discovered, materialist chemical consciousness, the inherent evil in old things, the sins of the father and the loss of humanity through forbidden knowledge. Those are Herbert West - Reanimator and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, stories with infinitely more stylistic flair and inspiration than whatever The Void was trying to be.
>a wholly arbitrary state of affairs achieved by chance, a pond in which titanic beings move slowly, over eons, right by us, who's merest glance - whose single thought or breath - spawns horrors such as occurred in that hospital.
This was not explored, spoken of or in any way referenced in the movie save for a single empty throwaway line from the mad doctor. Did YOU even watch it?
I would if it perpetuate empty, damaging stereotypes.
>being this wrong
>typing paragraphs to expose yourself as an idiot
lmao
i'm not the one that has some sort of a problem with another person not following rules.
sounds like a cuck fetishist to me. is that what you are? does your bull give you stern orders to which you are obedient?
you're literally too much of a brainlet to realize that 'deep' and 'shallow' are brainlet memes
>If you knew modern Lovecraftian media,
oh, ok, i'm not """deep""" because i haven't seen your fucking reddit bio menace video game movies.
did i watch it? i did a full documentation of it, pic related.
i don't have a problem. you just come across as the kid who thinks people like him when he's seen objectively as a loser. your "prank" was retarded. no one laughed. no one remembers you.
>sounds like a cuck fetishist to me. is that what you are? does your bull give you stern orders to which you are obedient?
>calls someone else a brainlet
>uses brainlet meme words
again, i sympathize.
>did i watch it? i did a full documentation of it, pic related.
you are a fucking loser.
Wow you sure won that argument, you're so fucking cool
Go cry more.
first of all, it wasn't a prank, it was sabotage.
second of all, you're imagining that i want punks on Sup Forums to like me. that's an error on your part. people on Sup Forums are mostly retards and losers, if they actually liked me, i'd have cause for concern.
oh, and cuck is not a meme.
yeah let me see something YOU wrote. haha

never said anything about just Sup Forums. enjoy being a stepping stone. you probably have halitosis, too.
>oh, and cuck is not a meme.
yeah, but your limited thinking relies on them. it's okay, you're wholly average.
>yeah let me see something YOU wrote. haha
i don't need your validation. that's the difference between you and me. you say you don't care, yet you continue to try and prove something. like i said---loser.
well of course. you could already see by the cover that is was just garbage.

i don't pity you, because you haven't earned it.
better hurry and type up a big response proving how that person who infuriates you online is so and so and so.
if you don't he might not think you've been humiliatingly butthurt
we can't have that!
i can't even imagine what it's like being an NPC
oh and by the way
words have actual meanings
consider using them in respect to that
tldr
hurry up with my fries yabish
What the fuck Sup Forums you told me this movie was shit. It's pretty good have you even seen any other lovecraft-inspired film before? They all fucking suck. Sure the acting is shit but the monsters and all the practical effects were cool. It got way better in the third act imo, as long as nobody was having a conversation the movie was alright
movie feels like it was directed by some giallo enthusiast that recently discovered le lovecraft cosmic horror meme
i had some fun with the movie but come on it was badly directed and downright fucking stupid.
you know a cosmic horror movie is going to be bad when there's this annoying artsy focus on minimalist aesthetics
>muh dark triangles
i'll take those jeffrey combs lovecraft movies over this piece of garbage any day, at least they know what they are instead of this pile of steaming unsynthesized references.
the void is the biggest meme movie of 2017
>do something that makes perfect sense

>muh projection
uh huh, whats your grade in 'intro to psych' that you took at your community college? or have you dropped out yet?
i audit warehouses for dean foods. i have an expense account.
>whats your grade in intro to psych
it was an A when I took it like 6 years ago
>that you took at your community college
not that I went to one, but you don't even have a high school degree so probably best not to talk down to people that have a menial Associate's
>or have you dropped out yet?
luckily, I didn't find academics as challenging as you
>i audit warehouses for dean foods. i have an expense account.
uh huh. so you mean you take inventory and report back to your supervisor at target. and your expense account is a 10% discount on red polos
could be worse, my man.
that scene where the two guys start axing the creature takes way longer than it should, it starts getting comical real soon. The interrogation scene is nonesensical. Also how is Daniel's nose not broken after they hit him?
It's got it's share of bad moments, but it's not by any means a bad movie, I expected a lot worse
how long did you fucking THINK it would take to axe it to death?
i talk down to my inferiors. unfortunately, going into debt doesn't impress me.
btw my expense account includes gas, meals, and lodging at hotels, because i usually have to spend a few days at a factory when i travel or when i accompany regional on inspections.
I wish they explored the void aspect rather than the horror house aspect. I was disappointed as well.
Why is everyone so seethingly buttmad I just want to talk about movies.
I enjoyed this one, the effects were practical and well done. Acting was sub par consistently, why was that Asian lady horribly reading lines the entire time? It had a lot of potential and I feel like a couple of scene additions/edits could make it much more solid. Maybe 20 years from now there'll be a remake to do it justice.
