From Jeremy Gillespie and Steve Kostanski; the duo behind the horror comedy Father’s Day comes one of the most anticipated horror releases of the year, The Void. There is a new trailer out on Yahoo Video that offers insights into a world that is compared to that of horror master, John Carpenter’s.

Check out the new trailer below:

The film stars Aaron Poole (The Conspiracy) as a police officer who brings a severely injured man to a local short-staffed hospital as mysterious cloaked figures close in and surround the building. Soon strange things begin to happen and the hospital begins to seem more like Hell than a safe haven. Evoking both Carpenter’s classics like The Thing, Assault on Precinct 13 and In the Mouth of Madness, as well as the nightmarish world of H.P. Lovecraft, The Void seems destined to be a modern horror classic. The film also stars Katherine Munro (Resurrection) and Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim vs. The World).

Selected for multiple horror festivals including Fantastic Fest, Sitges Film Festival and the London Film Festival, The Void opens in theaters on April 7th. Check out more on the movie here.

Official synopsis:

When police officer Carter (Aaron Poole) discovers a blood-soaked man limping down a deserted road, he rushes him to a local hospital with a barebones, night shift staff. As cloaked, cult-like figures surround the building, the patients and staff inside start to turn ravenously insane. Trying to protect the survivors, Carter leads them into the depths of the hospital where they discover a gateway to immense evil.
