"The Void" is a tense, claustrophobic adventure film full of fantasy, greed, and a mysterious supernatural reality. The style is bold, the plot is minimal, the future is full of potential, triangles are everywhere, Silent Hill-esque beasts have no faces, and death is rampant. The film doesn't show a lot of detail beyond the surface, as that would spoil many of the film's revelations and trap viewers in deep characters that don't understand what's going on. Although nothing particularly shocking or tortuous in nature, the slow progression from one to the other is calculated for best effect. While the film itself is a depiction of the unpredictable force of grief that drags viewers into the abyss with no hope of escape, it also serves as a gateway beyond symbol or allegory into another world
