This week on The Deadlights Podcast, we’re diving into The Void (2016) — a low-budget cosmic horror that punches WAY above its weight. We explore how filmmakers Jeremy Gillespie & Steven Kostanski pulled off some of the decade’s most memorable practical effects, all while navigating an ambitious indie production filled with creatures, cults, and cosmic terror.
We break down the film’s Lovecraftian dread, the story behind its creation, and how Astron-6 transformed limited resources into a full-blown practical FX showcase. If you're a fan of handcrafted monsters, oppressive atmosphere, and films born from pure passion… this episode is for you.
