What found flux has taught me:
1.) get over your grief
2.) triangles are evil
3.) don’t go into hospitals
________ ________ tbh I just found it very.... odd and confusing and just a mess.
Fair enough
avocado_ flowercrowns wait... you mentioned triangles, the movie has lots of triangles, how many lessons did you say? 3, how many sides do triangles have? Also 3, Illuminati confirmed!!!
?
4.) Fear is a weapon used by others for their own gain.
Can you imagine if these guys got a multi-million dollar budget? The masterpiece of madness they could bring forth into the world!
What was their budget?
About 17$
All the more impressive considering how much of a tight schedule they were on and how many times the film was almost shut down for good. These guys poured their heart and soul, blood and sweat into this movie. Even if someone doesn't enjoy The Void they still gotta give props to everyone involved for surviving the hellish production
If they had a multi-million dollar budget the movie would probably suck.
I just watched it, I noticed they didn't use any CGI on the monsters. Beautiful. So many horror movies CGI ghost and monsters, it just doesn't work. I guess there wasn't much they could do with the evil dimension though with their budget, it still looked good though.
"She's a mother, isn't she beautiful?" LOOK AT THAT SHIT.
Gonna get you menda 💦
@@poopsock7493 bruh. She’s a human being…
Read it as soon as that part came up xD

The creature designs are some of my favorite ever. They are legitimately disturbing, I hope the designer and FX artists get way more work, they are the MVPs of this film.
The "daughter"s face looked a lot like the Alien/human hybrid in Aliens 3 (i think it was 3, the one that has that a hole Ron Perlman's ugly ass in it)
@@markjackson3531 It was Resurrection, which was 4.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 ah, correct !
@@markjackson3531 No problemo!
Yes, they were a great throwback to the 80s and 90s horror classics.
Just finished the movie, absolutely loved it. Probably the most Lovecraftian piece of media I've experience that's not directly based on his works
You should check out Bloodborne. It's a modernized oldschool action RPG game set in a gothic victorian setting, and draws a lot of inspiration from works of horror such as Lovecraft and Blackwood, offering nice blend of beasthood, aliens, and the cosmic unknown.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 you forgot to mention the hours you spend not enjoying story or athmosphere but just try-harding on bosses and trying to figure out a way to the next zone
You must have not seen a single good movie in your life if you like this piece of shit
@@gambitwilson8623 have you even read Lovecraft? Or anything in your life?
Idk... I still think In The Mouth Of Madness is still the best Lovecraftian film not based on a Lovecraft story.
That's what I call my wallet. "The Void"
Good shit my man 😂

@@amberwayneburton4044 lol
Haha!
some lovecraft, some silent hill, a little hellraiser, and an ending like the beyond. i can dig it.
mephosto and my name is Mephistopheles
you got 300 likes
I don't see any overtly Lovecraftian influences, unless one is prepared to take into account the gibberish prophesied before the blazing triangle/gateway. And an occult book here or there.
mephosto and some Lords of Illusion involving the doctor. Didn't he give of a Nix vibe with his voice and face. As well a both being cult leaders with ties to primordial beings
Hubert Van Calenbergh Tentacles, people meddling with forces they don't understand for personal gain and getting screwed by said forces, tentacles, screwed up resurrection, tentacles, a great mysterious, incomprehensible city with giant structures built by inhuman beings, tentacles...

If only it's story was as good as this
@@skthechef8075 RIP Destiny 2 rn
ElectricDragon I had to delete the game bro it’s not fun to play rn
@@PraxicDragon I think the thing about D2 that tears me up, is the constant new content. Not the content itself, but the fact that I need to buy more shit. I bought D2, I bought the season pass, I bought Forsaken, but I don't want to buy anything else. Isn't that enough money spent? Why do I have to keep buying more and more content at ludicrous prices? I just gave it up eventually, didn't feel like Destiny, you know?
@@Espeonstar1 Exactly! I quit Destiny 2 for a while and then started playing like a month into Season of Dawn. Bought the pass for the season, discovered Menagerie, had lots of fun until the end. Then came Season of the Worthy... a reskinned grind, even with the access to the full season. Now I'm all for Bungie making money, but cosmetics first, then the season system, and then finally the lack of content? No thanks, bungo
I think it's safe to say that the reality warping effects of the void only extend around the hospital for a certain distance, possibly the whole town. When Carter is on the road, he communicates via the radio to police dispatch, but once at the hospital all communications are cut off. Even the am/fm radio wasn't picking up anything. So the Doc has a separate reality/dimension that he linked to the hospital and the farmhouse, which probably creates a distortion field around where those are linked to. When the triangle portal in the wall closed, that dimension collapsed and took the distortion along with it, hence why at the very start and end, Carter's cruiser is near the hospital doors, but when they went out to get supplies from it, it was further away as they were in that reality distortion.
Thank you for this
That's a good point. I noticed that when Carter was in his cruiser, he was able to talk to the dispatch because it was she who told him where the closest hospital was. Once he got there, he wasn't able to reach dispatch at all. Hmmm...
There's so many movies I just don't feel like sitting through, so your channel is very fun to watch
Benjamin Aswad lazy as hell
This movie is worth it trust me
why would you listen to this guy describe the fucking movie instead. why.

Agreed. It's definitely a movie that should be watched first rather than explained.

This reminds me of the mist and call of ctuthulu.
@Shawnaldo75 the name in itself is Lovecraftian
dont really see a resemblance to the Call of Cthulhu but i can understand The Mist
Reminds me of ‘The Thing’
the mist. altho it was kinda stupid the movie its self was great apart from the karen and the group of idiots which made the movie a bit more trash because of the ending
Kry Kry Stott I never said it was stupid I said the way they did the movie was stupid
I'm glad it's not getting a sequel. Cosmic horror excels when things aren't explained fully. It thrives on the possibilities and limits of our imagination... The "what if's". Plus if u give any cosmic horror entity an identity and a sense of tangibility, it loses the fundamental element that makes it so horrifying.
The only creature that can be personificated is Nyarlathotep,because he can assume any form!
I think it's possible to make sequels or prequels or maybe spin offs. The trick is to either not answer any questions or answer questions that eventually leads to more questions. Like cutting off a hydras head. Itll make people understand more but still feel like they're in the dark.
IMHO the movie desperately needs a sequel. I aggree about keeping most/all about the cosmic horrors ambiguous, but the story of the main protagonist and his love interest is literally left unfinished, thus the movie has no ending at all. In a sequel/spin-off I want to either see their story being concluded while leaving the Void still as mysterious as possible or the Void itself being explored lightly, but *just* enought to give us a somewhat-adequate guess as to what happens to them.
Rich is that you?
@@themarty2769 That's the point of the movie: the end is not the end. That was literally what the doctor was trying to accomplish: for the end to be just the beginning.
The Void was a better Silent Hill movie than the actual Silent Hill films.
MadamFoogie Agreed, and I can also add this was better than what Hellraiser did, especially to the continuity of that franchise, even though it's clearly inspired by it in many regards. I just don't get how this is so underrated and how it was so under my radar. It's a great concept and it has potential to be better if they don't follow the failing tropes of the classics (or what they've done in the VVitch). They got something going with the Void for sure.
The Void is a secret Warhammer 40K Film set before the birth of Slaanesh (each point of the triangle being the first three Chaos Gods; Khorne, Nurgle, and Tzeentch).
bruh....
LeviathanSpeaks1469 hahaha i’ll have to make my husband watch it then!
What heresy is this? There’s no such thing as chaos and further talk of such things will merit a visit from the inquisition. Praise the EMPRAH
Everyone knows Triangles are evil... I spent endless hours of my youth tracking them down playing Legend of Zelda.
Frickin pervert Gannon hiding that Triforce all over Hyrule
every time i watch this video this comment gives me a good laugh. thanks
Just to add to the theory that Powell's shenanigans have affected the entire town/world:
When Carter picks up James, he specifically tells dispatch to call ahead to the hospital. Primarily to give Allison a chance to prepare for an encounter with her estranged husband, but also so they can prepare a gurney for James. Yet, when he arrives, the hospital staff was completely unaware of the situation, and they said no one called ahead...
Guess it could have just been his radio, which was permanently static after reality started to get warped.
You know, you have a point there Robb. So are you suggesting the dispatch could have colluded with Dr. Powell? You know Robb, one thing The Void never tells us is how many of the town's residents are a part of this cult and how long has the cult been in existence in the town. Even the doctor doesn't give us any backstory on that or how many people have fallen under his influence.
@@kammorris5902 it's the fact there was no dispatch to begin with. He was talking to the entity and it got him to go deeper into danger
When you said that Carter’s car was moved farther away and foundflix said that reality was bending. I thought they just moved the car
I agree. I figured the cultists just moved the car soas to lure someone further away from the hospital. There were dozens of cultists, and it doesn't take that many people to move a car.
But why the car goes back to the original place when they close the other dimension?
I just watched it probably watch again
I know I'm late to the comment but he has the keys on him so they couldn't have moved it
@@psicogames5509 good point there buddy !
One of my favorite cosmic horror stories of recent times.
It's striking how often the term Void is used to refer to cosmic horror. It's the source of cosmic horror in the Warcraft series, in Hellboy, and others. I like it, it lends a kind of unifying terror to the concept of cosmic horror. Right up there with terms like 'eldritch' and 'lovecraftian.'
You should do an ending explained on Donnie Darko because a lot of people don't like it because they don't really understand the ending to it
It would be good timing too because they are releasing a 4k version
sasukefangirl4lyfe That is literally not at all what happens it's all about dimensions and dead people and it's very confusing
theres been SO MANY explanation videos to Donnie Darko already....
Good idea. Donnie Darko is one of the most complex and confusing movies ever.
It's about a tangent universe that split when he lived. To save the original universe he must travel thirty wormhole with the artifact. This will work end the tangent universe while saving the original...if he doesn't the both collide and end each other.....Donnie must die to save us in this reality. Now Fringe, that needs explained lol
Man, cosmic horror is great. Lovecraft was a great author
He was a pretty cool man, but you know what was cooler than him? His cat. In fact, his cat was so cool, he had a really cool name too.

no one cares
@@thebruheternal3654 ...so was 98% of America back then you fuckin idiot..stop crying
@@thebruheternal3654 he still did far better works than any of his critics.
I really appreciated the use of practical effects in this film, they were super horrifying and well done.
marsh hospital. did no one catch this Lovecraft reference?
You mean because of the Marsh-family in shadow over Innsmouth? I am pretty sure, there were more lovecraft-references in the movie.
Bruce Wayne the tentacle monsters seem like a lovecraftian thing
Also the name of Carter.
yup
i didnt know of the reference but as i watched the movie i thought of lovecraft
Looks like it has some VERY heavy Lovecraftian influences... may have to check this out.
You should do it. Its a pretty solid movie, with great special effects and some interesting concepts.
Freelancer117 I agree, this is Cthulhu Mythos inspired. Basically elder signs and rituals necronomicon esque. Oh and tentacles.
+Bruce Wayne there's nothing solid about this movie other than the effects. Terrible pacing, characters, and the worst editing i have ever seen in my life.
Have you only seen 5 movies in your life? The editing was a little bit sloppy, but its not the worst. The characters are very genreric and uninteresting (i agree with you on that), but in horror movies like this, the characters are often very underdeveloped. You cant compare a low budget-movie with some horror masterpiece like the Shining, or so. Also the story of the Void had some interesting concepts to deliver.
+Bruce Wayne interesting concepts but none of them worked. this could have been an amazing movie if they could have afforded some script rewrites
I thought it was odd, how the doc kept going on about 'natures futility' and maybe to prove his point he not only repeats his daughters birth then death, but also the protags, so he was either
A: still trying to convince him or
B: he didnt realize that his objective was just as Ironically Futile as "natures futility"
Who watches these cause horror movies are interesting but you're too scared to actually watch them?
pussy
Reaper2307 definetly not me :
Nah this actually seems like something interesting unlike most of this 💩 that's come up in the horror genre in the last few years. But there are some gems like as above so below, it follows, cabin in the woods. I thought get out was great too. But I'm definitely checking this out never heard of this until I saw this video

"but you know what's inside? MORE tentacles" 😆🤣
This was that movie I was going to play in the background while playing computer games, and literally having to stop the game, rewind. 0-60 in the first 5 seconds. So good
The Void: If John Carpenter made a Silent Hill movie... this would be it.
detubeme Yup. Good idea!!
No he would have made a movie that made sense this mivie tries to be unique by taking the fundamentals of lovecraft horror of the unknown but fails on 2 points first is that the unknown is givin such little info on its not interesting and not horrific....its power is never even pushed past making weak ass monsters and possibly shifting reality slightly....second are the auful characters everyone acts stupid incompetant impulsive and overall unlikeable. They make soooo many odd choices and dont take simple problem solving into account such as the car the guns and the fact that the cultist only have knives...im so confused why people like this movie i am left frustrated by the characters and lame attempts at creating cosmic horror....only redeaming factor are the great effects but those are few and far between
Hey, jake. Make a film yourself, do it better. I have literally read everything Lovecraft ever wrote, and his characters gripped with terror tend to make really dumb decisions that they regret later or someone chastises after they die. They are terrified, not thinking clearly and pay for it. It's so common that in one of his essays and a number of correspondonce Lovecraft actually considers this to be a running joke of sorts. If you are going to discuss Lovecraft, his themes, and his influence here, you damn well better know what the fuck you are on about, lowercase jake.
I think you just insulted John Carpenter.
detubeme: If John Carpenter made silent hill but Kojima was actually H.P Lovecraft.
Honestly, I wish that in movies like this that someone or something just approaches the psycho cult leader after his big transformation, and asks, "now what?" Just asks him what he/she intends to do now, or even more so, if this is truly everything that they had expected and wanted. because, there are still a lot of issues with this whole plan brought before us.
1: Powel can now exist forever, but is the creature he's become really something that he wants to exist as? What does he feel now in this new body? Can he feel? Won't he get bored eventually with his eternal life, since there's not much to do in this new dimension?
2: Is it really worth living forever if this is the reality that he has to live in? The dimension that he got his powers from is not very pleasing to look at. It's grey, dismal, and kinda gross, with God knows what running around. There's no color, no light, nothing but barren, hostile landscape forever. What would be the point in living forever if this was all you had to look forward to till the end of time, and beyond?
3: He didn't really resurrect his daughter. No matter what he wants to say, the thing he brought back doesn't look like her, sound like her, or act like her. he essentially just made a brand new creature. Even if it is her soul trapped in that thing, that just makes it worse, and even more pointless. Why resurrect her, if she isn't even the same girl he lost? He'll never see her real face again, hear her real voice, or do any of the things that she enjoyed ever again. It all just seems like a waste of time.
So pretty much, him becoming this thing, doesn't seem like it was worth it to me. It looks like he probably should have read the fine print before signing himself over to these dark forces.
You should watch the Entity story arc of the webseries Atop the Fourth Wall. The protagonist, Linkara, is facing against an Entity that wants to absorb all living beings into its being, so everything and all of reality can be it. But Linkara sends it down an existential spiral resulting in it committing suicide, by simply asking "And then what are you gonna do? When everything is a part of you what are you going to do next? What is your purpose when your purpose has been fulfilled?"
Sorry that one year late, but look at it this way...
As you can see "the thing" influences minds to do its biddings. What if.. Richard was still being manipulated by the thing thinking everything is okey, making him believe the child is a child! Making him see "unreal" reality, and while hes under "its" command, he can summon more of these creatures, take over and eventually, maybe even summon IT! I think this movie have heavy Cthulhu references, when hes trying to command weaker souls while beeing in The Void and thus making them summon him to make him stronger, giving sacrifices to bring its things in our world.. I dont know, but thats just my tought!
@Alexander Luster practical take. I like it
First, his mind was probably corrupted by the Void. As such, it changes the way he views the relationship with his daughter. Second of all, even if there isn't anything in the void. Souls within the void still have each other, and that's something.
Sorry for being 2 yrs late but I wouldn't doubt him seei.g that thing as her daughter since s father's love for her daughter is EMENCE N HUGE unconditional love for her something that most likely you haven't experienced which makes it impossible for you to understand (not hating) and also him being a monster himself and his way of thinking his mind all corrupted manipulated and just plain messed up.
This about him loving his daughter even after becoming that thing with him being a monster himself wouldn't make it hard for him to look at her and her little girl. I mean s baby girl to his dad will always be her baby girl. I wouldn't wrap my head around it so much and go crazy trying to think about all these things when it's already messed up anyways and the answers you looking for basically answer themselves.
He's some sort of demon already on the Darkside he doesn't care about anything he just knows he has his baby girl again forever and being a demon he won't mind being in hell since he will fit right in .
No joke.
The questions speak for themselves if you know about demonology actually doesn't take much to understand but still.
Well yeah this is what I'm saying long story short.
The Void in Mythology is also known as Chaos or the end of the beginning and the Beginning of the end. Also in simple terms its a reset of everything.
Ginnungagap.
It also calls you kiddo.
Chaos is just the darkness , before the Lord created the light everything is dark. The end will not be a chaos , but a new Jerusalem
The emporer shall stamp out this chaos
This is Dead Space with out the space.
agreed
Yes
So it is just... Dead?
Gods Father Alt title, Dead Space but it’s entirely on earth.
Dead Earth?

Tedesco you get it! Same thought

WHENEVER HE WARNS OF SPOILERS YOU KNOW ITS WORTH WATCHING.
11 out of 10-FoundFlix
It’s literally a video explaining the entire movie and ending. Imagine needing a spoiler alert
The Kid looks like a young Matt Damon in my opinion
SourSlush-Z I thought he looked vaguely like some celebrity
Me too! :D
I just remembered who else uses a black pyramid as their sigil....Nyarlathotep!!!!
Oh yeah!
And Arkhan the Black. Fantasy character
Also, King Amenemhat III built his Black Pyramid during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. Real scary character.
The Crawling Chaos...
I love you...
Matthias Thulman what makes him such a scary character? I’ve started reading about him and he seems like kinda just a bland pharaoh. No real military conquests. Helped build a very useful canal. Built a couple pyramids. Am I missing something?
@@alexbaum2204 If you mean Nyar, it's cause he's one of the very few "Elder evils" in Lovecraft that actually enjoys directly messing with Humanity - rather than in the mostly distant / hands-off way seen by the others. He's also known to create and use many Avatars, and is said to use "1000 Masks" (meaning forms / ways of appearing) to emphasize that point. In the Persona game series, Nyarlathotep takes the place as the Ultimate Evil / Master Villain of the entire series, though he was temporarily defeated and banished back to the depths of the Collective Unconscious realm he typically resides in, back in Persona-2. He retains all of his Lovecraftian wickedness though, and his use of the 1000 faceless masks (forms). // The Pharaoh that Mattias mentions is, I think another one of those Forms that he uses (at least in Lovecraft books themselves). He basically just really, really, powerful / evil / fearsome - and as a Villain, that makes him awesome :-)
Loved this movie, its absolutely fantastic. Personally I never thought that Powell himself was quite as in control as you described here - I understood it in such a way that the void had used his desires as a medium for its own intentions. From the moment on that he had grasped the void, he himself had ceased to be. Not that that matters when it comes to the films enjoyment in any way of course. ^^
I think you're right, especially with him using a triangle whereas the pyramid at the end is actually not a pyramid (triangle) but an octahedron (diamond)
@@veldin25 Oh that's actually a great detail, I never considered that, thanks for pointing it out - it really fits in quite nicely!
Almost sure this guy didn't actually watched the movie and just read the imdb sinopsis or the like, I'm 90% sure that in the movie "the father" and "the kid" had actual names
So this is dead space + hellraiser + The thing..... AWESOME!
Plus the evil within
@tlessmo the doctor after his transformation talked and looked like Frank from Hellraiser,the creatures would give cenobites hardons esp Dr Channard
from beyond
Necromorphs for the go!
Lovecraft folks

The rest is just a recap.
John Garrison "Ending Explained + more mysteries explored"
I love how all he does is horror, thriller, and sci-fi movies. It’s great for me since these are my favourite genres
You know this has got to be the absolute best review for someone who has no interest in watching this movie since he basically explained everything. I really like the way he reviews these movies.
who knew that the Canadians had such a mind
Waldo X watch “Cube”
Michael Cauterucci dont watch the sequels tho
Yo!!! We finally found Waldo y'all!!
Do you mind?
lol CRONENBERG BITCH
I fairly certain the ending shots were intented as a direct homage to Lucio Fulci's The Beyond's ending where the 2 main characters are trapped in the Hell dimension (a vast wasteland littered with bodies).
I liked the movie but did anyone else get a heavy Sam neil in Event Horizon from the Dr. near the end?
Well both concepts are similar Event Horizon was definitely inspired by lovecraft to a degree
Definitely got that from the moment the Doctor called the Deputy, from the Morgue. Also saw its influence from Prince of Darkness and The Thing, both John Carpenter movies. But yea, Event Horizon was the most obvious.
I saw the Doctor as more of a Frank from Hellraiser. His voice and cadence are similar and he even has a "come to daddy"-esque line at the end: "that's a good boy"
The Yautja 360 good eye seeing the homage to prince of darkness. a underrated john carpenter movie. i loved that the movie ended on a down note.
100 % with you on that. And the fact that "the future could not be changed" since the ancient entity's arrival was inevitable.
The Void isn't evil , it's just misunderstood ...
Tanya37red lol
Y'all bigots for thinking it's evil!
The pyramid isnt evil just casu its black
HERESY
The entire movie was just an extended intro for Bleed by Messugah.
Haaa! Love it!
Bill cipher has really done lots of bad stuff.
This is gravity falls in real life/if they didn't beat bill cipher
Yeah
180th like!
Gravity falls episode 2000
Death approaches
Lovecraft definitely influenced this film. elements from the call of Cthulhu and At the mountains of madness
Red Hook and The Shadow Over Innsmouth, as well as a couple of others that a lesser known. Really it is almost an amalgam of his more visceral works. Love it.
I watched this with a 105 degree fever and genuinely thought I had a terrifying fever dream lol
This movie not getting a sequel or another movie somehow connected to it's universe is a very big mistake imo.
Best lovecraftian horror i've seen in a while, and I would love to see the ideas in it explored further, rather than remade in another movie by an entirely different writer and director.
LuchaOr This movie sucked balls
@@gambitwilson8623 Nah, but you did.
Isn't it kinda the point that it's supposed to be unexplored?
Lovecraftian inspiration is generally unresolved, as it depicts us as unknowing beings,surrounded by horrifying unseen creatures, that if seen/understood cause madness.
@@Przemko27Z Yes
Am I the only one who watches so they dont have to be pay but want to know the plot
There's a thing called legally questionable streaming you know.
CRAZYJONESY Xx I don't have the patience to watch movies lol. So a good 15 minutes to know what happens is totally something I can do while working or cleaning lol

this one..
fucking traumatized me.
I absolutely loved it.

THIS? Scared you? Holy hell grow a pair mate. Lol
Devon Graham is it worth watching
ToxinTrav 0 NO!!
Free Man this movie was breathtakingly garbage!
This seems like a Cthulhu mythos inspired movie.
Final hunter 97 not really Cthulhu tho
You dont say?
Haha its pretty blatant lovecraftian influence. Not Cthulhu though, more like shadow over innsmouth a little bit
Yeah no shit
The usage of xenophobia(fear of the unknown) in stories was indeed brought to life through the works of Lovecraft. Really can't get enough of these kind of concepts :)
Julian Goedhals He literally got his ideas from world mythology
"I reject my humanity carter"
Wryyyy
Ok doppio
Diooooooooo
I've played and love Bloodborne and Dark Souls, a series of games that never explain much and leave you with tidbits of info you have to peace together as you play so I have no problem with a vague story.
Jackson Scott well, they didn't really create the mythos. It was heavily lovecraftian. So if you know some stuff about Lovecraft then you might have enjoyed the movie more! They could have made what was going on more explicit though.
TheLukeylala also, bloodborne was heavily inspired by Lovecraftian works (how the environment looks in certain sections, how certain enemies look, etc)
Anthony C especially the cult of menses, trapping themselves in the nighmare to open their eyes and awaken the deep ones, its classic lovecraft
I got you but there is no reason to believe any of this is tied to lovecraft in any way whatsoever. If they came out and referenced even a SMALL dose of lovecraft i would totally be on board. But as it stands this seems like their own creation and where lovecraft is 50/50 on the known and the unknown, this movie is more like 20/80. Sometimes knowing too little or being left to think on the story yourself too much can ruin the experience. I don't want to do their lore for them.
Is bloodeborne and darksouls your first experiences with media that don't just spoon feed you everything??
Here is some info about the end for those who didn't get most of it.
The Void is by default one of the parallel Dimensions of the Earth with a different timeline, the self claimed God in the end was teleported to another location, since he serves a darker entity that is older than the Universe itself. The concept is about something that is older than everything else, far beyond God, immortality, Aliens and superior interdimensional Beings. And that Being is sitting in the top the Black Pyramid you saw at the End. What will happen?? well that Thing will devour Planet Earth, all the Humans and our Dimension.
Why and how did Allison and Carter survive?? They actually did die in the Void, both, but they were reborn in the Void Dimension still in a human Vessel?? Why?? I think Powell wants them to be part of the major event and witness the superior Entity take over the Earth.
Alejandro Nunez Well, they're going to need whatever killed the bastard in "The Dunwich Horror".
Alejandro Nunez so basically the cod zombies story line in blops 3
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
Alejandro Nunez Powell being sentimental😐😆😆
lol you're just making this up but stating it so matter of factly. You should preface by saying this is your theory.
The Void is genuinely my favorite horror movie to come out in ten years, other then “We are Still Here”(2015). I love this movie so, so much.
This movie had such hellraiser 2 vibes
Gjallarhorn is better, it has solar burn rather than void burn😂

Hello fellow guardians!
Parminder Singh Thorn is the goat🐑
What if this entire ritual was made to revive or call upon a great one from lovecraftian mythos? Perhaps like chtulu or nyarlhotep. It kinda reminds me of bloodborne, where mortals tried to abuse the blood and power of the old ones, some deciding to use their blood, and some deciding to gain knowledge and insight to transcend
Look, the movie's plot development isn't the best, but it's the vagueness and fast pace that gives it its own unique charm. I'm not one to be spoon fed everything in a film. I actually enjoy leaving questions unanswered.
Please do TUSK, I'm gonna keep asking

"Tusk" ... what in the hell do you say about it? Kevin Smith! Certainly didn't leave you in a party mood, especially that very last scene. Michal Parks and Justin Long were terrific. Does anyone remember a movie in the early 70's called "Ssssss" with Strother Martin? Martin was a scientist trying to find a serum to turn humans into snakes? Why snakes, I do not know. He must have been a herpetologist. It is very reminiscent of that. Had the same icky feel.
I remember Ssssss, weird movie!
and all the scientist's failed experiments ended up in the carnival
oh fuck no! that fucking movie fucked me up for life
10:45 Its a reference to one of John Carpenters movies "The Prince of Darkness" that came out like 30 years ago that has pretty much the same ending.
The ending scene is an homage to the film The Beyond
Fun fact, Yes, triangles have had evil implications, but they also have had very religious symbolism as well. Specifically, the holy trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Don't you know that the bad always outweighs the good in today's society?
Don’t forget the tri force
"Holy Ghost! This is not an episode of Scooby Doo."
Sorry... couldn't help myself.
The star of David is just two intersected triangles, one pointing up and one pointing down.
@@asdneffy Yes, but completely different connotation. More, as above, so below.
Hands down one of my favorite horror movies in years, ive watched it multiple times and would be SO HAPPY for a sequel.
Who watches this even if you havent watched the movie?😂
Edit:1k likes holy macaroni (keep this a friendly chat)
Label XD same
Label XD lol
Same tho
Label XD same
Label XD it's not good. It looks great but the acting is so bad you just can't take it seriously
The noise this "baby" makes is still nothing compared to the noise the baby in Eraserhead makes. Skin crawling!!
introduces last character cliff:
Me: oh yeah, he's gonna die
I don't give a shit what anyone says, this movie was by far the best horror i've seen in a while
dwarfdigger135 yea thats your opinion, youre allowed to have one lol
Mc FruityBooty it was ass to me
Mavis 22 oh yes another opinion
i guess ill give my opinion aswell i didnt like it
I'm jumping in also with my opinion ... I absolutely hated it. And, unfortunately, I hate it even more after this scene by scene dissection. The storyline is way too vague to be able to piece together all the in's and out's, and how's, and why's of the Dr.'s life after death theory = a better life after death, when we can obviously see that's not the case. And, where was the concept of "the void" derived from? How did the Dr. discover it? From the one page with a triangle found in a book in his desk? Who were his white-sheeted followers? The connection between characters is never fully explained. I thought it looked cheaply made, acting was atrocious, the pivotal scenes in the basement were so dark that I wondered what in the hell was everyone fighting. I am tired of hearing it being compared to "The Thing" (yeah right ... it had tentacles!), "Hellraiser", and "Lovecraftian". The end scene of the policeman and the Dr. together falling into the triangle proved what? Where did the Dr. go? It shows only the husband and wife hand-in-hand in a blatant, no apology full on steal from Fulci's "The Beyond".
Zethrael of Teldrassil so to summarize your needlessly long comment, you didn't like it because it was too vague and wanted you to think and used mystery real Lovecraft material not simplistic enough. Along with nit picky bullshit about acting etc.
oh those Canadians
Waldo X
I FOUND Waldo!!!!
I want to like but it’s a 69 so i can’t 😔
Aren't you a Canadian yourself?
So this is what those damn Canadians are up to.
Someone needs to be shot for this
We need a pre-sequel telling what the father and son went through before getting to the hospital!
WELCOME TO WEIRDMAGEDDON!
Bolderox buy gold
Bolderox HEH NOICE
This gave me a Hellraiser feeling & i liked it.
Sort of a hodge podge of Hellraiser/The Thing/Event Horizon
"large moving pyramid"
Necrons???
Xenos.....
The Void... DRAGON???

If I had a dollar for every time I was attacked by a stomach tentical monster 😂😂😂😂

Excelent review for an excelent film. I only would like to point out that the name Carter might also be a nice reference or tribute to Randolph Carter, the dreamer and main character of lovecraft's oniric saga The Dream-quest of Unknown Kadath. Also the Void dimension resembles the available descriptions for The Plateau of Leng, a cold arid land where different dimensions converge and inhabitated by prehistoric semi-human horrors. Finally, the floating pyramid and other buildings of The Void follow lovecraftian concepts for alien architecture, wich is also a remarcable detail of the movie. Good job and thank you!
The triangle is the alchemical symbol for fire. 🔥
tactics ogre saga's magic spells, especiafically fire.
I'm surprised no one noticed it's all a big reference to the Illuminati
Who watches these because they are too scared to watch the actual movie but still thinks horror is interesting??😂😂
sammie mae lol me
Cobra fuck off:))
sammie mae Exactly
sammie mae thats why i love these videos

This is the foul work of tzeentch. I believe the Ordo Malleus needs to see this and may the Emperor be with them.
The Emperor protects brother!
Burn everything!
Foul heresy
The Emperor Protects.
Wait what
As someone who has a lot of visual seizure triggers your videos allow me to enjoy to plots and stories of movies that I normally would never get to enjoy because of the visual effects used in them. I want to thank you personally for that. Not only for that but also for the movies I normally couldn't handle due to PTSD triggers etc that I get to appreciate the story telling and cinematography of without being triggered into a full fledged episode. As a high risk patient pretty much stuck inside due to the pandemic I really want to say thank you for having a massive backlog of videos for me to watch and enjoy as I'm trapped inside. You've really genuinely made a difference for me.
The very ending kinda reminds me of the ending of "The Beyond"
By Lucio Fulci
Me too.
This movie really freakin’ confused me (and having taken my ambien before I watched it didn’t help), so this video *really* helped me understand it. I’m very glad you make these videos to help me understand so many I have issues following
Such a wonderful movie! Very well done, from a cosmic horror standpoint. Just enough detail to keep you interested, and just "Void" to keep you guessing. It can be almost impossible to adapt cosmic horror to the screen, but these folks did a fantastic job. On almost no budget. Well played, sirs.
Pls make more of these ending explains. They're really good
The Pyramids look like the ones in Kung Pow Enter the Fist. I think i seen Betty in the background.
But, the questions are:
1. Does your finger point?
2. Do your nipples look like milk duds?
and 3. Are you bleeding? Making you the victor?
Destiny 2 new dlc has a new enemy entity known as the pyramids, and the first time you are able to see it it has this same crazy lovecraft size and an awesome score that makes you feel so small
The first half to 2/3 are great and then it just falls apart. The last part just goes on and on.
It felt very John Carpenterish. Very Prince of Darkness vibe.
Average Joe exactly!!! It makes no sense whatsoever. So much potential in the beginning
If everyone else had turned to the Void in the end, that would leave Kim and the teenage boy to repopulate the Earth.
or a threesome with the beth monster for groovy effect.
Jichuu Limario wtf? Lol. WTF?
I love how in a series called ending explained Chris still believes in giving us a spoiler warning
NAIVE WEAKLING! You must feel the power of the void! -Evil Tree, Exdeath
Please do _Primer (2004)_ soon!
Life-Row-Toll. Primer . Best low budget movie ever !!
Life-Row-Toll As far as I can tell when they went into the time machine they dropped themselves out of time, and then popped back into it, leaving the original version of themselves and separating into a different entity.
Or they traveled into an alternate timeline
That movie was fucking insane. I had to chug Melatonin just to get some sleep because I couldn't stop trying to figure it out.
Azide hell yea , I started using drugs heavily after that movie. Mostly peyote.
soulerflare7 That's kinda fucked.. I prefer to look at that stuff in an intellectual light, not tripping balls.
10:32 “The most horrible sound EVER”
More like it sounded like that guy from vine who dressed up as spider saying “it is Wednesday my dudes, AaAaAaAaAaAahhhHhhHH”
Some of foundflix videos are great but it seems these "Explained" videos have just become summaries of the movie
Torres75 that's the best part
if this really a lovecraftian don't expect sequel.
his story is confusing as fuck and always end with mysteries.
Greetings from 2019...This is clearly a prequal for the darkness from Destiny, It's okay, the traveler will protect us.
I honestly love how the cultists look. Simple but memorable
Squid games copped their style!!!
@@alienduderules6883eh kinda
gee didn't know Canada has a dark side, and having a reference or more but the reference that I knew quickly is the thing both versions of the film, it had that creature affect on it and you don't know what it is or where it came from and also the trust issue among people.
Indy Larsen if you like dark Canadian films check out Pontypool
Also, if you like lil wayne go check out his music
Guess you haven't run across David Cronenberg.
Daniel Allen check out lil wayne
His videos always make me fall asleep. They’re so interesting, but I get so sleepy.🤣
You should do that movie called The Rapture. It's from the 90's I think, and I believe it stars Mimi Rogers.
Nathan Lee James that based off the book or no???
