The 80’s were the perfect time for horror films. The combination of practical effects, gore and budding CGI slowly making its way into the mainstream, albeit in a tiny capacity at the time, meant that there was plenty to exploit in the fears of the public in a time of political tension and the advent of some fear-mongering articles beginning to show up in newspapers. It feels like since then, we’ve been struggling in vain to recreate the formula that gripped audiences some thirty years ago.
The latest trailer for The Void looks set to drag us back into that era of horror, even if it must do it whilst we’re kicking and screaming in fear.
The trailer shows us all the aspects that you could want from a horror film; Creepy cult? Check. Paranormal phenomena? Check. Weird and creepy abominations that are vaguely reminiscent of humans, but are bastardised monstrosities? Double check!
If you’re a fan of the genre, The Void will almost certainly scratch that deep-seated itch which has been gnawing at you since your first found out Freddy was coming for you.
The Void is out in cinemas March 31st!
