The Void

2016 · TMDB 6.0

Directed by Jeremy Gillespie, Steven Kostanski

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.

Why it matters

A cosmic horror film set in a hospital, where a group of people are trapped by a cult and encounter otherworldly entities. The deaths are body-horror nightmares, with flesh melting and merging in ways that defy physics.
