Reviews from Letterboxd

1. Sean Fennessey – ★★★★☆
   “The first ‘Where did this come from?’ surprise I’ve seen in a year… it feels like the sort of small miracle that’s been rubbed out of the Hollywood system of late.”

2. SilentDawn – ★★★★½
   “Did you know that the brain can itch? That uncomfortable realization is the result of a chemical imbalance and intense anxiety. The Empty Man is riddled with this detail… an evocative and mysterious global cosmic narrative.”

3. jack – ★★★★½
   “One of the most frightening things about reality is that we exist without answers. The Empty Man is one of the few horror films to peer deep into the void and see nothing staring back.”

4. Late Movie Reviews – ★★★☆☆
   “Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The movie looked nice. The performances were good. The first 22 minutes are really really fun.”

5. Chris – ★½☆☆☆
   “Aptly named because it certainly left me feeling empty… this scatter-brained merging of occult mystery, cosmic horror, and police procedural is so half-baked it might as well be cold.”
