Fuck shilling your shit movie

>>81520697
If your severe autism didn't prevent you from attending middle school, you'd have the critical reading skills necessary to understand I'm doing anything but shilling.

>>81520729
Posting shit reviews still equates to shilling/advertising your shit movie.

You have no talent, kill yourself.

>>81520829
I wish I could say I'm surprised to learn you have no idea what the definition of shilling is. You could've at least picked up on that before adding it to your cute little meme dictionary along with "cuck" and "kill yourself" (we're 2/3 on the Autism Bingo board so far).

Remain a cipher. And keep bumping my thread, ya fat bitch.

>>81520660
it was fun movie that paid homage to 80s horror movies
you're taking it too serious

>>81520960
Nah, I just didn't like it. Gratuitous and badly acted at best.

It sucks because I actually love fun movies. The Mummy and Raimi's Spidey (including 3) are classics.

GOAT MOTY

cool ideas, lots of thieving of carpenter movies though. they kept showing way to much shit. less is more. it should of ended when they jumped into the void realm not shown the couple nice and safe looking at a pyramid.

>>81520660
It was pretty fun. Classic movie at 2am on tv style.

This hasnt happend since saw 1

>>81522023

No he is right. Movie was shit. Acting was total garbage.

>>81522063
No you're both wrong, and stupid. It was a great movie. The things that you think are because you are mentally retarded, and you should kill yourself.

>>81523630
what if you have seen it and still think it sucks?

>>81523785

then you're probably lying or don't know your head from your ass. most people can't see a movie even as they're watching it, and nothing makes them happy in life unless they've been anally memed so hard that they don't doubt this should make them happy.

i assume that someone who doesn't like the void has bad family relations and no girlfriend.

Did you watch that ridiculous mobster short about the guy with his heart on the opposite side. I waited for the cosmic horror twist & thought the buttons were some cult symbol.

>>81524230

first of all

>dilettante

jesus fucking christ stop. i am actually feeling second hand embarrasment for you.

a diletttante, or someone who pretends like they're smart in a way they're clearly not, is someone who would call someone an 'unequivocal' idiot, instead of just an idiot or a fucking idiot or a complete idiot... because it's fucking cringy 'enlightened by my own vocabulary' shit. give it a break and stop trying to look smart. nobody fucking says 'unequivocal idiot' in speech, i'm not sure anyone has ever said it in the history of the human race who wasn't some twerp trying to look smart.

allow me to provide a complimentary shovel for you to continue to dig yourself deeper with.

>>81524300

it is by definition cosmic horror. pretty good cosmic horror, too. sorry there's not enough memes for you people.

>>81524422
go ahead and explain how it's not cosmic horror "at all"

>>81524440

lmfao yes i fucking did. i thought the same thing, that the buttons were some cult symbol. i had no idea where it was going until i got suspicious and fast forwarded around and saw zero tentacles.

>>81524466
>go ahead and explain how it's not cosmic horror "at all"

Alright so. I guess I'll have to spoil it to do so.

Cosmic horror is a genre of 'weird fiction' primarily focusing on a strictly materialist worldview with a protagonist(s) whose beliefs about the world, universe, nature, etc. are blown open by the implication and overt reference to a wider universe in which their beliefs are either wrong or the tip of the iceberg because of something they personally experience and come out of shaken and ridden with the true knowledge, or don't survive. Cosmic horror expounds on themes of the unknown, the vastness of the universe, the limitation of human knowledge and ability, existential dread and the incompatibility of the wider universe to narrow human experience.

Not a fucking shred of that appears in The Void. This movie is painted with very broad strokes. My first problem is the lack of a protagonist who embodies the human experience. We get a gruff cop type guy who quite coldly deals with the problems he encounters. His ex-wife nurse, the intern girl, the state trooper, all of these characters don't actually partake in any cosmic revelation of their place in the universe and the fragility of their world. They see some (stiff as all fuck practical effect) monsters, the main villain espouses a single cryptic throw-away line about catching the moth that is the human soul (another point against the movie is the implied supernaturalism there) and we see a CGI realm with a big black pyramid the main couple are just dandy in before holding hands and there's absolutely no central theme or message in the movie about human experience. This is a monster movie, no more, no less, with nary a hint of a whiff of any kind of deeper theme to it at all made by people who don't know what they're talking about.

>>81524925
>confirmed for being retarded

sad!

>>81524925

cosmic horror is a genre where horror could not exist without something from the cosmos.

the void is 110% that.

everything you said is stupid memes.

>>81524968
>>81525014
Sorry, I didn't know I was talking down to literal retards.

Oh, this makes me laugh:
>cosmic horror is a genre where horror could not exist without something from the cosmos.

I think maybe you need to actually read a Lovecraft story, friend, and put that Call of Cthulhu RPG down.

>>81525143

i've read every single lovecraft story at least 2-3 times. every. single. one.

you've messed with the wrong motherfucker.

you've been uncovered as a bullshitter.

gg.

>>81525143
>being literally this retarded

pitiful!

>the amount of retardation in this thread
It was alright. I like elements of it, and I don't regret watching it. And I didn't find it "gore porn". The only performance that really felt truly bad to me was the druggy's performance. The rest of the actors were just mediocre but passable.

>>81522222

it's not a fucking joke. i've read lovecrafts entire works several times. i've read more books, in fact, than 99.999999 of the human population, since i read for roughly 8-12 hours a day since before kindergarten through to being expelled in 10th grade.

it is cosmic horror, and you're clueless in the entire realm of art, horror, and literature if you think otherwise.

it's not a problem; just change your mind. say it with me: the void is cosmic horror. reverse your position. it's therapeutic.

>>81525793
Yeah, guess what, I have too, you're not special and you're not that only fan and not the only person who cares, although I might be if you want to let this shallow movie pass as actual cosmic horror. Did you let the lol tentacles meme get you? Because it seems like you did, as that's all Lovecraftian horror is these days. If you gave a shit you'd try to look past the Cthulhu fhtagn memes shat out by Arkham House.

>>81525866

>shallow

muh depth - mere virtue signalling for someone who see's 'being deep' as something that 'one should be', basically, memed at an early age.

you aren't even dealing with the important point, that the movie depicts the events of someone breaching the wall between life and death with the blessing of the Other gods, causing spontaneous manifestations of a wholly alien motivation within living flesh that can not die; your obsession with tentacles clearly caused you to overlook the more important and subtle elements, such as the means by which living tissue burst forth into eldritch motion, driven by an abominable animus.

cosmic.

horror.

fundamentally based on the discomfort we experience realizing that the precarious state of affairs that we're remotely capable of existing in, is a wholly arbitrary state of affairs achieved by chance, a pond in which titanic beings move slowly, over eons, right by us, who's merest glance - whose single thought or breath - spawns horrors such as occurred in that hospital. the essence of 'fear of god'. fear of terrible things older than god.

i don't think you even saw the movie or have read lovecraft or much of anything else. you sure don't act like it. there was no need to drag cthulu into all this.

Just watched it last night, I think it was interesting at the beginning but then I felt like I was watching Resident Evil or some shit, especially near the middle/end when they just started shooting everything. There was too much action and thriller stuff, I would have appreciated a slower buildup and more mystery. Instead, like 15 minutes in it just randomly inserts this big monster into the story and that sets the pace for the rest of the movie

i got to school early and put an open staple into every single keyhole on all three floors of the school, and when all the teachers got there and started unlocking their doors, the staple bent into the pins of the lock, meaning the door was permanently locked. so they had to send everyone home that day, and the doors had to be taken off the hinges and the knobs replaced, which i payed for over a year working at subway, where i met my best friend.

totse made me do it.

Just be fucking appreciative that the movie exists and hope that it leads to more proper cosmic horror movies get made. Hopefully it's successful and people start feeling inspired.

>>81526048
Your post is a fucking mess of cherrypicking.

>muh depth

No, anon, that's not what shallow means, it means it has no artistic merit, it has no underlying theme. For it to be cosmic horror, it has to, via characters, explore the themes I've already outlined. It doesn't do these.

>tentacles

If you knew modern Lovecraftian media, you'd know what I was talking about. Please consider OPs fucking image - human fingers turning into tentacles. Consider the other two posters for this movie, both triangles with tentacles emerging. Tentacles are, due to decades of abuse and misinformation, shorthand for Lovecraft. It's gotten to the point that there are people who associate tentacles in horror media as being Lovecraftian. It's a symptom of the bastardization of Lovecraft in pop culture. The Void happily carries it on.

The important point of the fucking movie is that it's a story that's been done to death by much better directors and writers. Your big super scary academic words you googled literally just mean 'mad doctor, through supernaturalism (which you conveniently overlook) brought back the dead wrong'. Did you know this is in part the basis of two Lovecraft stories which explore ideas such as: anticipating the concept of adrenaline before it was discovered, materialist chemical consciousness, the inherent evil in old things, the sins of the father and the loss of humanity through forbidden knowledge. Those are Herbert West - Reanimator and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, stories with infinitely more stylistic flair and inspiration than whatever The Void was trying to be.

>a wholly arbitrary state of affairs achieved by chance, a pond in which titanic beings move slowly, over eons, right by us, who's merest glance - whose single thought or breath - spawns horrors such as occurred in that hospital.

This was not explored, spoken of or in any way referenced in the movie save for a single empty throwaway line from the mad doctor. Did YOU even watch it?

>>81526825

hurry up with my fries yabish

What the fuck /tv/ you told me this movie was shit. It's pretty good have you even seen any other lovecraft-inspired film before? They all fucking suck. Sure the acting is shit but the monsters and all the practical effects were cool. It got way better in the third act imo, as long as nobody was having a conversation the movie was alright

movie feels like it was directed by some giallo enthusiast that recently discovered le lovecraft cosmic horror meme

i had some fun with the movie but come on it was badly directed and downright fucking stupid.

you know a cosmic horror movie is going to be bad when there's this annoying artsy focus on minimalist aesthetics

>muh dark triangles

i'll take those jeffrey combs lovecraft movies over this piece of garbage any day, at least they know what they are instead of this pile of steaming unsynthesized references.

>>81527397

that scene where the two guys start axing the creature takes way longer than it should, it starts getting comical real soon. The interrogation scene is nonesensical. Also how is Daniel's nose not broken after they hit him?

It's got it's share of bad moments, but it's not by any means a bad movie, I expected a lot worse

>>81527571

how long did you fucking THINK it would take to axe it to death?

>>81527542

i talk down to my inferiors. unfortunately, going into debt doesn't impress me.

btw my expense account includes gas, meals, and lodging at hotels, because i usually have to spend a few days at a factory when i travel or when i accompany regional on inspections.

I wish they explored the void aspect rather than the horror house aspect. I was disappointed as well.

Why is everyone so seethingly buttmad I just want to talk about movies.

I enjoyed this one, the effects were practical and well done. Acting was sub par consistently, why was that Asian lady horribly reading lines the entire time? It had a lot of potential and I feel like a couple of scene additions/edits could make it much more solid. Maybe 20 years from now there'll be a remake to do it justice.

>>81527724
>i talk down to my inferiors

wanna talk about movies? I just watched deseret by james benning, whats your thoughts on that?

so this was basically a The Beyond tribute right

>>81529325

haven't seen it. this thread is about the void. make your own thread about that movie.

lets discuss the void. i thought it was scary when there were tentacles coming out of beverleys eyes and mouth. i thought it was cool when /ourcop/ was caressing the monstrosity his ex wife had become but he thought it was his normal x-wife. i really like the space scenes in the void. the guy with the rifle seemed nice, but he had to be burned alive for his own good. it was terrible how all those tentacles were coming out of that skull and squirming through him.

I hope Lovecraft is pleased he ruined tentacles for any other horror genre but his own

>>81529393

>>81529591

>James Benning took the founding of the New York Times in 1851 as a departure point for his latest film, Deseret. In the best Benning tradition, Deseret unfolds magnificent landscapes captured with a stationary camera during a dozen-odd trips throughout the calendar year - deserts, plains of snow, lonely trails, trees in bloom, cemeteries, ruins, unfriendly rocks, empty settlers' houses, roads that seem to be leading nowhere, a few isolated human figures. Deseret's starkly composed images suggest a space haunted by the official history written back East in the Times. Benning collected 93 stories about Utah, boiled them down to a few lines and used a different shot to 'illustrate' each sentence. As we reach 1900, his black and white footage spectacularly turns to color. The stories told recount the loss of American innocence: from the woes and persecution of the Mormons, the fights with the Indians, the struggle to become a state, to the turning of Utah into a testing ground for nuclear power. And beyond the power of words, Benning's camera keeps probing: do landscapes remember?

this is the faggiest shit i've ever heard of. i don't watch pillowbiter flicks.

>>81529622

tentacles make perfect sense as primitive or antediluvian appendopods.

>>81529627

if tentacles = lovecraft, what do hands = ? what do fins = ? lovecraft had plenty of wings and eyes too, are those 'ruined' as well?

>>81529695
I don't mind tentacles but I can see where that anon is coming from. Tentacles are kinda lazy because pop culture ruined it. Everything is MONSTER WITH TENTACLES, CHTULHU LOL

>>81529740

how did pop culture ruin it? are we really going to refuse to like something because of who else we heard likes it?

Things that were Lovecraftian:

Scary hicks out in the wilderness
Cultists
Geometric shapes with unguessable meanings
Outer space shit
Evil scientist trying to tamper with the natural order and not knowing what he's doing
Vaguely shoggoth like monster*

????

*HPL's idea of really horrible monsters was fishmen. I think he would have been repelled by this sort of bodyhorror gore. Especially since he was far more interested in atmosphere than anything explicit.

I felt the movie makers were really more imitating Carpenter, and his practical effects, than anything HPL.

I mean, the things Lovecraftian I mentioned are just sort of thrown in there. There's no attempt to make any of it work with any sort of cohesion.

>>81529695
you genuinely just might be the biggest pleb to ever post on /tv/

It would be worth watching if it was like 20-30 min longer, it completely lacks an ending and the plot is extremely rushed with barely any detail about the characters involved.

>>81529789
shoehorning everything cosmic = chtulhu

anon, I said it, I don't mind it, but I can see how one can be annoyed by it.

That's literally Lovecraft though, there are perhaps two stories in all his work combined that are not a complete clusterfuck.

Nobody. Only a loose part of the plot is remotely connected to lovecraft.

>>81529887
It's pretty tame if you're specifically into gore porn. It's got a lot of well done practical effects, and it's way too much gore for an atmospheric horror, but I would'nt recommend it for a person who's specifically looking for gore.

>>81529887

there's not really a lot, but what there is is VERY well done. and it's built up to very well.

>>81529943
>Lovecraft would be scared

You misunderstand me. I think Lovecraft would be

1.Insulted that people would think this is what he was going for.

2. Think that anybody who liked this movie was a bunch of dumb subhuman niggers.

>>81529985

he had never seen a movie before. i think he would be extremely impressed and in fact, seeing 'the void' would probably have an extreme influence on him.

in all likelihood showing him the void would have resulted in a very different catalog from him.

and to be honest he already thought everyone was a dumb nigger, but it's not like he'd have the balls to say it to anyones face.

You guys watch RLM? I'm specifically thinking of their Best of the Worst review of, I think, Carnosaur 2.

It was supposed to be about dinosaurs. But they had some kind of set out of a space ship movie. And they added stuff about hackers. And they basically remade Aliens except used the dinosaur for the xenomorphs. Right down minor plot details and costumes.

That's how I feel about this movie. OK, it's about zombies! But we've got this old hospital set! Well then we'll make hospital zombies! And you guys like Lovecraft? We'll add tentacles and triangles! Kids love tentacles and triangles!

>>81529985

>HPL had never seen a movie before

>>81530056

a hospital is a standard and ideal place for exactly this.

this movie is solid. tentacles and triangles have NOTHING to do with lovecraft.

lovecraft was the other world seeping into our world.

>>81530081

The history of film began in the 1890s, when motion picture cameras were invented and film production companies started to be established. Because of the limits of technology, films of the 1890s were under a minute long and until 1927 motion pictures were produced without sound.

lovecraft: Born: August 20, 1890, Providence, RI
Died: March 15, 1937,

basically 0% chance he had ever seen a movie. he might have seen an example of the technology but he would have thought nothing of it.

Pft, try telling that to Japan.

>>81530640
1930 is the earliest I can find, but it trends towards even higher going farther back. If you want to talk about what's more likely, the odds are very, very high that Lovecraft saw at least one film.

The majority of his stories are fine if somewhat lacking in resolution. Off the top of my head:

Cool Air
Pickman's Model
Cats of Ulthar
Rats in the Walls

are all completely comprehensible and follow a traditional narrative structure.. I'm actually struggling to think of any of his stories that I would classify as a 'clusterfuck'.

i'm a christian but i'm considering to become muslim, in fact, i believe in the old testament god. a god who is not kind or good or loving. a god who does not forgive. a terrible god. i think that god is real and has really commanded genocide and the dashing of infants heads against rocks and the butchery of pregnant women of ethnic groups.

He's completely write though. Where is the actual evidence that that's a real quote of Lovecraft's?
The page looks incredibly shitty. Any given idiot could have put that together and stuck a bunch of fake quotes on too. The fact is unless you have a reliable and verified primary source (the letter itself) or at the very least a verified copy of that source, it's useless. Anyone who has studied history knows as much.

Fact of the matter is, we don't know for sure if Lovecraft ever watched a movie.

Great movie. I'd give it a solid 8/10, higher if I were to be generous. The points are docked mainly for the acting and some of the more awkward choices in the writing (vagueness of the hunter character, shot of sheriff in the other world/dimension at the end).

The movie was Lovecraftian as shit. It was like a checklist of a bunch Lovecraft stories.

Colour Out of Space (transformation of people into abominations), Reanimator (man of science experimenting on the dead to bring the dead to life), Shadow Over Innsmouth (cthulhu-ish sex cults, breeding of shoggoth like creatures, transformation/transition into undying race, human women selected for breeding), The Case of Charles Dexter Ward (underground necromancy pits, creatures brought to life that cannot die, necromancer seeking immortality).

I'm going to watch this, simply because if it's going to get spammed by both sides for weeks, I at least want to be in the know.
I'm pirating it, so get fucked shills.

>>81531828

i did want to know more about the guy with the rifle. why was he involved? was he some sort of demon hunter?

>>81520660
It went much disappointing from the good beginning part. The character all became annoying hysterical mess, the monsters are barely even there, and the lovecraftian stuff leads to nowhere. Also annoying cuts between different dynamic scenes and pointless backstories.
Pretty meh flick.

>>81531935
>house was attacked by cultists
>mother/baby were murdered
>son survived
>father and son decided to back to the cult's place and kill everyone

>>81531950

this is all exactly why it's so right. it's done very well.

you just don't like lovecraftian content, which is fine, you're under no obligation to do so.

>>81532004

i thought it was something like that after the hallucinated scenes, but, the rifle guy specifically, 'the kid will be alright. they killed his whole family, i barely got them out of there alive."

which would imply that he was not himself part of his family, since he would have had to been killed for his whole family to be killed.

that part is what confused me.

>>81532055
>which would imply that he was not himself part of his family
I figured that he didn't considered his son part of his family for not being there to protect them, that's why he was crying and later said he was sorry, I don't know. It didn't really bothered me that much

>>81532166

yeah, i got that he was angry at him on some level, but i mean, that's pretty extreme.

i wish he had been some kind of demon hunter but that would not be lovecraftian.

desu it's not as if the movie couldn't have been better. with another half hour, they could have really played out the opening scenes and the 'otherworld' more. even longer. i'd have watched it for 2.5 hours.

>>81532263
I just wished they didn't show the couple at the end. Ruined the whole pratical effects thing they had going on for a while.Maybe they could have expanded on the atmosphere a bit by dragging it more? I don't know. I really liked all the basement segments and how everything was paced.

>>81532339

the basement segments were the climax. i've seen a lot of horror movies, but when there was that tschk shing, tschk shing sound, and then they saw the first fucked up thing ramming it's skull through a pipe over and over, it really hit hard. especially after the doctor talked about how he won't let them die, his mistakes. shit got pretty intense.

i do agree that they didn't do a good enough job with the consequence of the cop shoving the doctor through the triangle. after all i thought that the point was to go through it at some point.

and what the fuck now? does the cop and his ex wife just walk around pyramids on some astral stormscape until they starve and die to another reality?

i really don't think the movie made any negative mistakes, i think they just didn't go far enough. they should have just turned it to 11th and got involved with the rabbit holes.

this is depressing

trailer looked kinda rad

>>81532442

This movie was trash but it was fun trash. It reminded me a lot of playing Doom just fun mindless horror. It's good to see some salute to the 80s horror as well hopefully this brings on some more cosmic horror flicks.

Taking this seriously is a big mistake its not a game changing cosmic horror. Its pretty much in the same vain (only not as well made) as the mouth of madness.
