After a group of teens from a small Midwestern town begin to mysteriously disappear, the locals believe it is the work of an urban legend known as The Empty Man. As a retired cop investigates and struggles to make sense of the stories, he discovers a secretive group and their attempts to summon a horrific, mystical entity, and soon his life -- and the lives of those close to him -- are in grave danger.

Anecdotes
One of the last films from Fox that was made before they were acquired by Disney. The film was quietly dumped into theaters and made so little money that even a home video release on DVD was deemed non-profitable.

Gaffes
The film is set in the US but was largely shot in South Africa and the overseas shooting is inadvertently revealed when the protagonist looks at a blank VHS tape. It's an E-180; videotapes of that format used in America would begin with "T" (e.g. T-180). The E prefix stands for "European" and is used for PAL/SECAM systems; the T prefix stands for "Television" and is used for NTSC systems.

James Lasombra: Yeah, no.

Générique farfelu
The 20th Century Fox logo makes a surprise return in the opening of the film.

Hidden cosmic horror

It's easy to see why people would dislike this. It really comes down to taste, not anything wrong with the movie.

I haven't read the graphic novels, so I'm only going to base anything I say off the movie. And I really found this to be a good blend of real myths, real philosophies, real cults, and horror tropes.

Yes, it might come across as borrowing from anything and everything, but that actually fits one of the philosophies discussed by the cult: everything is connected and is the same.

I enjoyed the score; it underpinned how scenes should be interpreted without TELLING you how to feel like many tense movies do. The lighting and camerawork helped play out the story, and the set design gave a grimeyness that made the evil seem more ancient. Good dialogue and good acting. Definitely a slow burn that takes you were you need to be.

A little bit Call of Cthulhu, a little bit Wicker Man, a little Vanilla Sky. Just a little bit of a lot of somewhat cerebral horrors. Not a fast-paced jumpscare teen slasher flick by any means.
