The comedian/actor thinks The Void is 'buckets of blood, buckets of fun'

The cast and crew of a little film shot in Sault Ste. Marie received a very pleasant surprise early this morning via Twitter. Mr. Patton Oswalt touted The Void, a horror film featuring gory practical effects rather than CGI, as “buckets of blood, buckets of fun.”

Filmed in the Sault in late 2015, the former Sir James Dunn high school site was one of the production’s primary shooting locations. Written and directed by Jeremy Gillespie and Steven Kostanski, The Void is being called a 1980s throwback nightmarish, tension-filled creature feature by IMDB readers.

Local horror fans are invited to a special screening of The Void at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Apr. 6 at Galaxy Cinemas in the Station Mall. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with star Aaron Poole and producer Casey Walker. Tickets are free and available on a first-come first-served basis at the door the night of the screening.
