‘The Void’ NSFW Teaser: A Nice And Gory Trailer To Start The Day With

The Voidtrailer is not safe for work, but if you’re at work, go ahead and watch it anyway. It’s only 40 seconds of joyously grotesque horror. The teaser goes by so fast nobody in the office will notice you’re watching a new look atJeremy GillespieandSteven Kostanski’s ’80s-set horror movie, which features a quote from our very own Jacob Hall, who called it “pure cosmic dread.”

Below, watchThe VoidNSFW trailer.

The Voidteaser shows you everything you need to know about the movie, cutting from one horrific image to the next. To simply break it down, it’s about a group of people fighting for their lives in a hospital where people are turning into monsters from hell. The film has been praised as an ’80s throwback done right. Since the movie premiered at Fantastic Fest last year, critics have dropped promising comparisons toJohn CarpenterandClive Barker. Those influences are present inThe Voidtrailer:

The Voidhits theaters and VOD the same day, but the teaser paints it as the kind of horror movie to go see opening night in a theater. Some of those effects clearly deserve to be witnessed on the big screen. Jacobwas a fanof the movie’s practical effects and almost indescribable monsters:

He wrote it takes time forThe Voidto get moving, but it ends with a “hellish, nonstop third act,” which I imagine we all caught a glimpse of in the teaser. There’s probably a whole lot more madness this trailer isn’t showing us, but we saw all we needed to see. This teaser quickly declares what kind of experience we’re (hopefully) in for withThe Void.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Encountering a blood-soaked man on a dark deserted road, a police officer rushes the victim to the local hospital. Soon the staff and patients are trapped by a terrifying, otherworldly threat and forced on a hellish voyage into the depths of the building to escape the nightmare. Shocking, haunting and boasting mind-blowing practical special effects, The Void is a new must-see horror event, starring Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim vs the World), Kathleen Munroe (Alphas), Aaron Poole (Forsaken) and Kenneth Welsh (The Aviator) and Daniel Fathers. Written and directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski and from the Executive Producer of The Witch.

The Voidopens in theatersApril 7th.
