Another competent entry in the ongoing 80s cinema revival, complete with (some) bad acting, a predictable plot and some of the best actual(!) practical effects I've seen in quite some time. '
The Thing ' certainly wasn't thrown around unjustified during the film's promotional campaign. Together with '
Assault on Precinct 13 ' and '
Hellraiser '.
'
Silent Hill ', Fulci's '
The Beyond ' or even '
Event Horizon ' might have served as possible sources of inspiration for certain aspects of 'The Void' as well.
And Lovecraft of course.
