It's not pleasant, but it's not unpleasent

The Void



     One of the worst things about cults is when they actually DO have a portal to another dimension.  Officer Chumparelli, aka Daniel  has just found that out after picking up a wounded man crawling along a road. After bringing the future red-shirt to the hospital, all hell breaks loose. Eye stabbings, face ripping, neck stabbing, and axing a tentacle monster that happens to drop by. And that was just the first half hour!

     The rest of the film bleeds in the back story while cranking up the intensity level with the ambiance and sound track. This is NOT your normal hospital. It appears to be the test lab for the creepy white robbed cult led by the resident doctor and they like to deal in "making people better". By better, I mean turning people into deformed monstrosities that can't die (but want to).
After fighting his way through a horde of walking drippy corpses, being forced to take an ax to his wife, and taking a knife to the back,  our hero pushes Dr. Mangle-Face into the portal he JUST opened, and we draw the film to a close with an ambiguous epilogue.

     Despite starting out as part tentacle porn, part inter-dimensional horror, this film moves away from a potential to become the next mash-up of The Thing and Event Horizon. It's mostly fresh with great acting and decent dialog. They do everything they can to bring the intensity levels exponentially throughout the film and it works. It's not perfect, but you wouldn't recognize this as a low budget film. It's that well put together.

It's a fucked up movie.....I loved it!

Sunday: FUUUUUCK...more damn Nazi zombies. Why the hell is it always Nazi zombies?!?
