The Void
Practical effects made on Kickstarter money, doing an unembarrassed Carpenter impression.
Practical effects funded partly on Kickstarter, doing an unembarrassed Carpenter impression, and the creatures are worth the ticket.
A deputy brings an injured man to a nearly empty hospital. People in white robes with a single black triangle surround the building. Something is in the basement.
Steven Kostanski and Jeremy Gillespie built every creature in latex and foam because they could not afford anything else, and the film is essentially a delivery system for those designs. They are excellent: wet, asymmetrical, and lit badly on purpose.
The debt to Prince of Darkness, The Beyond and Hellraiser is total and unhidden.
The plot does not survive contact and the acting is uneven. Nobody watching this is here for either.
The last act goes full cosmic and the budget cannot quite reach, which is almost part of the charm.

Adjacent
Possum
A disgraced puppeteer returns to his childhood home carrying a bag he cannot get rid of.
Huesera: The Bone Woman
Mexican, and the best pregnancy horror since Rosemary's Baby. The joint-cracking sound design is the thing.
Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell
A plane crash, an alien blob, and the single most striking red sky in Japanese genre film. Tarantino borrowed it.
Resolution
Two friends in a cabin while something rewrites the story around them. Benson and Moorhead's first film.
Messiah of Evil
A California coastal town waiting for a blood moon, made by the writers of American Graffiti, and it looks like nothing else.
Night of the Bloody Apes
A luchadora, a heart transplant from a gorilla, and real open-heart surgery footage spliced in.
