in what way? can you expIain further

It was alright, although there was too much going on.

The ending and a fair chunk of the concept was just Prince of Darkness with a Lovecraftian twist and a dubstep theme applied.

This entire film could have been condensed into the first 35 minutes of a really awesome film. As it stands it just feels like a really drawn out pilot episode to a decent TV show.

>shitty movie with a good but failed concept could be a prequel for the shittiest movie with a good but failed concept

They were all moving and acting at a snail's pace, because there wasn't nearly enough content to fill up 90 minutes. Even the creature was uninspired, and the main character jumping out from the wall while it was chasing him was such a direct rip-off of Hellraiser, it disgusted me.

How was Cure for Wellness Lovecraftian? Definitely didn't get the impression from the trailer.

it was pretty much what i'd want from a lovecraftian film set in the modern era.

but honestly, the most interesting settings are the 1920's era lovecraft tales. those are really comfy.

It wasn't Lovecraftian AT ALL, do you people seriously think meme tentacles on a poster = Lovecraftian?

Unfortunately a ton do. This is why people are so obsessed with del Toro adapting At the Mountains of Madness even though it would be garbage.

I have a leaked script from ages back of that movie, apparently it the Shoggoths were going to act like The Thing instead of mindless colossal goo trains that scream alien words.

Lovecraftian implies a whole bunch a different, but inter-connected themes: human ignorance, human limitation, insignificance amidst a larger world and universe that isn't necessarily hostile but is cold and uninviting, malignancy being inherent in old things, hereditary horror and the horror of lineage, sins of the father, the importance of dreams and all sort of little sub-ideas that pop up regularly to further reinforce these concepts (like pre-human civilization to hammer in the fact that we weren't here first, and we won't be last). The Void has none of these as far as a basic horror movie goes, it doesn't explore these themes in any way, it's a pretty shallow movie that throws out some gory effects, a Hellraiser-looking guy with cliched cultist dialogue, a stiff and uninspired practical effect monster and to top it all off, fucking tentacles on the three posters really tell you what they think they are, because these days, tentacles = Lovecraft. There's exactly one line where the mad doctor is having his rant to lady tied to the table which barely hints at the merest possibility of a deeper idea of escaping and transcending death, but it's just a throwaway line. That's all. It just sounds cool. The ending is supposed to be some kind of R'lyeh/Mountains of Madness vista, I guess, but you sort of need to build up with hints to make that kind of thing have an impact.

It's a weak, completely identity-less, shallow movie that wants to be John Carpenter that goes right in the pit of crowd-funded mistakes.
