Quick Hit

The Empty Man unfolds like an occult spiral—moody, sprawling, and never wastes a scare.

Full Take

The Empty Man leans hard into occult horror energy, and David Prior keeps the tone moody without letting the movie drift. The best parts are the confidence and control: it takes its time, sets the trap, then slams the door. It may not be for everybody, but it definitely has teeth.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
