The Void (2017)
In the middle of a routine patrol, officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital staffed by a skeleton crew, only to discover that patients and personnel are transforming into something inhuman. As the horror intensifies, Carter leads the other survivors on a hellish voyage into the subterranean depths of the hospital in a desperate bid to end the nightmare before it's too late.

Brilliant and touching
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
This is definitely a throwback to the classic movies of the 80's. You have the wonderful sense of dread and horror, great characters, a real villain, actual horror (not just the usual "thriller" style regular joe murderer), and some great twists.Everything a great horror movie needs. The special effects are also surprisingly well done considering this isn't one of those big Hollywood cash machines.If you're a fan of the 80's classics, or just a horror fan in general, this is definitely a must watch.
Following in the footsteps of HP Love Craft; done right when so many others have failed, you won't be disappointed if you are into this type of film.
While there is some creativity to this flick as well as decent old school monster / gore effects, at the heart of it it's one of those evil cult kind of movies where you pretty much know nobody has a chance. So no real balance, which I personally feel a good movie should haveAbout mid way through I started to lose interest but kept with it as I figure I made it that far might as well see how it ended, which it did, weirdly... It's certainly a movie I won't remember for long and will never look to watch again. I only watched it because of some damn web site that was highlighting hidden netflix gems, and although the review score on IMDB should have been the dead giveaway I gave it a watch anyway as I used to be a fan of 80's monster / gore flicks.Maybe I grew out of the genre or maybe this movie just wasn't very good. Meh, oh well, I've certainly blown 90 minutes on worse things in my life. Like the 10 minutes writing this review, lol
Nothing short of classic horror film-making here. It could have neatly fit into John Carpenter's apocalyptic films, specifically Prince of Darkness to which it seems a spiritual sequel of sorts. It kicks off a disturbing scenario from the first minute and plummets straight into nightmarish soon enough. I haven't seen this kind of enjoyable and well made practical effects since the 80's The Thing, or perhaps as late as Species. No glaring and cheesy CGI is to be seen. What there is of CGI budget is all splurged on gorgeous otherwordly scenes. The main set has the lovely dichotomy you would find in a classy Silent Hill hospital, with juicy decorations from Clive Barker's Hellraiser. The people who made this clearly knew what they were doing.Tired of teen splatter films? Seen one ghost movie too many? Do jumpscares make you groan and roll your eyes? Try this. You won't be disappointed.
