Late one night, a police officer takes a wounded man to a hospital staffed by a skeleton crew (natch) that includes the officer's estranged wife (double natch). Hooded cult members surround the hospital, one of the nurses turns out to be something not human, the halls get splattered with blood and tentacles, blah blah blah, etc.

Its Lovecraft meets Clive Barker. Hellraiser meets In the Mouth of Madness.

A Lot of the films out there get the cosmic horror genre completely wrong in some way. They are either too cliche or not well crafted.

Bad, worse, worst, The Void bad.Don't believe those who compare this movie with masterpieces like The Thing or claim this is a tribute to horror movies from the 80s.

So the bar is pretty low for horror movies theses days, with that in mind, this movie is enjoyable. It starts off at 100 and delivers a solid first half.

Surprised by the low rating. This started off shaky but developed into a full-fledged Lovecraftian horror, one of the best of the genre, in my opinion.

This is the worst movie EVER... just looking at the cover, and then watching the film, there's no black hole devouring cities as the cover would have you believe, no fancy special effects...

Don't even think to watch this movie!!!WARNING WARNING WARNING STAY AWAY!!!

This isn't perfect but it's not a bad watch if you are in the mood for a creepy, gory siege flick in a hospital that descends into hell. There's a good mix of entertaining chracters and a few annoying ones.
