20th Century Studios’ “The Empty Man” is a supernatural horror film based on a popular series of Boom! Studios graphic novels.

Directed by David Prior from a screen story and screenplay by David Prior based on the graphic novel by Cullen Bunn, “The Empty Man” stars James Badge Dale, Marin Ireland, Stephen Root, Ron Canada, Robert Aramayo, Joel Courtney and Sasha Frolova.

This movie was one of the most creative I've seen in a very long time. Cinematography was about as good as it gets. Best way I can describe it without giving away anything: I see tons of movies in this genre, so I have a good grasp of the 5 or 6 "model plots" all of these movies follow. This movie has a completely different structure in the plot; kept me *very* engaged the entire time.

All of them including Slenderman look up to Zalgo: Demonic king and maybe even god of Creepypasta. He's bent on destruction and corruption and has been known to infect comics and illustrations with his corruption. Take a Garfield comic for instance, it can look innocent til there's splashes of blood and blackened eyes and the light background even fades. This affect can be present in that Creepypasta clip of Mickey Mouse, Squidwards Suicide, and i even think he's responsible for those Creepypastas for My Little Pony, Smile, Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory

This trailer doesn't do the movie justice *at all*. One of the better horror movies I've seen in years. Some people argue that lovecraftian horror is un-filmable by it's very nature, but I think this film pulls it off pretty well, which is super impressive to me because pretty much every other movie I've seen that tries to take a stab at this style/genre of horror usually fail miserably. It's not perfect by any stretch, but it is well worth your time if you like slow tension building horror films.

Instead of being a trailer for a really solid Cosmic Horror film, it looks like a Teens VS Boogie Man movie...which couldn't be further from the truth. An exercise in how NOT to produce a trailer.

[@cryoboy]

I just saw the movie and couldn't agree more. Not only the trailer (focusing entirely on the urban myth thing on the bridge that is just a really minor and largely irrelevant part) but also naming the movie The Empty Man. Why would you want your amazing lovecraftian mindfuck movie to be associated with trash like Slender or Byebye Man? Should've called it Pontifex, Tulpa, The Transmission or whatever.

@@zekelanham9828 Sure, the title fits in w/ the end for James. So then the original story is aptly named. I have to agree w/ the other poster who said it sounds just like Slender, Bye Bye and Candy Man, and they made the trailer look just like it too. That movie has been made too many times, but I suppose that's why these movie grinder people portrayed it that way. They knew they'd get a bunch of kids banking on an old and tired favourite. It's so much better than that though. I've seen so many reviews where someone went in expecting that, and got a really pleasant surprise that it was a real movie they would think about for days.

[@sa6oturboto]

Amazing movie! No other words to describe it. Amazing through and through. You'll not be disappointed if you love deep, though provoking themes with a lot of nuance and ambiguity. You need to get your brain moving and engage at all times to understand what's happening. The prologue alone is a movie within the movie. I was hooked immediately. The cinematography and sound design was spot on. Very eerie atmosphere and tone. Color grading was pitch perfect. I'm giving this a 7.5 out of 10 for the sheer boldness on display here. It's not for everyone, but if you're the type of person who enjoys strange movies, then give this a shot.

GUYS ITS THE BEST HORROR THRILLER MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. MOVIE IS DEFINITELY WORTH TO WATCH. DONT LET ANYONE LET RUIN THIS FOR YOU.ITS 10 OUT OF 10 RECOMMENDED

[@pale927]

You're fuckin high.

[@runningbear3476]

I watched this movie over the weekend..wasn't expecting much..but I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked it.. The trailer doesn't do it justice.. I loved the overall tone of the movie.. I loved the original opening...loved the eerie chanting... It's definitely worth a watch.

[@redding4540]

if you liked this one, check out the movie "in the the mouth of madness". i think the writer of this movie may be inspired by it. either that or he copied it.

[@rofflesvanwagon]

@@redding4540 how is this anything like in the mouth of madness? Because Sutter cane created the character in that movie and the kids made the one in this? That's the only Parallel, and that's stretching things pretty far. This is nothing like a john carpenter movie.

[@redding4540]

@@rofflesvanwagon stretching it far? not really. i didn't say the writer for this movie copied the entire "mouth of madness" but he surely took some elements from it. Amanda and few others wrote a script to create James Lasombra into human being. Is this purely coincidental? I don't think so.

[@rofflesvanwagon]

@@redding4540 I'd agree if that was the only movie where the main character is "made" in some way, but its far from it, there are so many. Your point is null/void.

The most scariest thing about The empty man is: empty theaters.

[@brendanmilburn9067]

Guys, if you read this, I highly recommend you all read the comic book this movie is adapting. It's a fantastic blend of detective thriller and disturbing gory horror. I hope the movie is just hiding the good stuff and is actually pretty accurate to the badass comic. But there's already one bad change, that cliche urban legend summoning ritual 3 day rule bullshit, wasn't in the comic. In the comic The Empty Man just happens one day and was at first considered a horrible pandemic level virus that makes people kill themselves until our detective main characters uncovered a more sinister and supernatural truth to The Empty Man.

[@ajawalker2290]

I don't get it. I still believe that it is gonna bomb hard nevertheless.

[@seankaufman588]

Will the empty man film be creepy and scary? Will it be like candyman or nightmare on elm street? Is the empty man more like Freddy or the slender man? Will it get good reviews? Will it be worth bro see a matinee in the theater?

[@JoshuaRibot]

This is one of the most mis-marketed movies i’ve ever seen; SO freaking good!

[@mackinblack]

Chris Stuckman sent me here...

[@lonael6699]

One of the best psychological horror movies I've ever watched, definitely worth watching from first second till the last one. It's one of those movies where you cannot skipa single second or else you'll the miss the whole movie, it was done so creatively and the horror element wasn't mainly focused on jump scares, it was mostly psychological and that type of horror is way more terrifying. Highly recommend 9/10!

[@EricJae.]

Besides pacing issues I would give this movie a 9/10

this movie deserves so much more recognition, these type of horror movies always leave me thinking about them for weeks/months. not for everybody but give it a try if you want to watch something a little different.

[@macabree5856]

It's not for everyone. Only for certain kind of individuals. Maybe those who are higher minded or have a different kind of intellectual capacity. Just look at the comments. Majority calling it "sh*tty" or bad movie. Sad because this film is an incredible horror theme. It really brings up interesting themes and is strong in material.

I think I started snoozing after the first "booo I am scary" moment of the trailer.... so generic. I am really becoming immune. Horror movies need to get creative. I mean everything is obvious scary. The old films, classics work better for me. Because they start in an environment that is like any other. Everything being obviously dark and gooey is just hitting the yawn factor for me.
