"The Void" is a horror film directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kotanski. The gory movie is slated for a March 31 release date in the U.K. (April 7, 2017 in the U.S.), and the short but horrifying trailer will give viewers a glimpse of what they can expect from "The Void."

/Film has released the official synopsis for the movie, which reads, "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. ... from the Executive Producer of The Witch."

In the trailer, a small group of survivors led by Daniel (Poole) must escape a hospital. However, as seen in the video, all of the patients in the hospital are slowly turning into "monsters from hell." "The Void" is already being praised as an "80's throwback done right." The film premiered at Fantastic Fest in 2016 and critics have compared "The Void" to films by John Carpenter and movies based on Clive Barker's work.

A previous /Film review of "The Void" also heaped praise on the film's "practical effects and indescribable monsters." According to the review, "The creatures are impossible to define, their proportions so far from human that they can scarcely be described. Shooting them in constant shadow may have been a budgetary decision, but it is one that works in the film's favor. Every time you see one of these proudly practical monsters, a mountain of sculpted latex and god-kn0ws-what-else, it looks a little different."

With "The Void," Kostanski and Gillespie are "committed to introducing audiences to a unique horror-mythology." The duo claims that the film will "combine the aesthetic attitude of modern horror cinema as it emerged in the 1970s with the splatter and sophisticated practical special effects that ruled the creature features of the 1980s and early '90s," per Empire Online.
