...its conspiratorial, extremely online subtext is perfectly suited to at-home viewing, even as its widescreen style demands theatrical scale.

Remarkably ambitious and challenging. The Empty Man defies categorization. An exceptional directorial debut.

A truly surreal and strange piece of work, anchored by some top-notch craft elements, but weakened a bit by a bloated running time and a conclusion that likely left the few people who saw it in theaters more annoyed than thrilled.

Rated: 2.5/4

Horror Movie Club Podcast

After an exciting 22 minute opening sequence, the film falls into a dull, investigative structure with brief but effective moments of horror peppered throughout. It nets out to an enjoyable ride.

Rated: 3/5

The Empty Man is ambiguous by design. Prior’s approach to the material is slightly experimental, but he’s always confident to ask the most intriguing questions.

The beauty of The Empty Man really lies within the first 20-minutes. Once over, it feels disconnected from the rest of the film, which morphs into a mediocre, and sometimes predictable, early 2000s horror.

The first hour was your run of the mill horror-thriller. It kept me entertained, had some good disturbing imagery and interesting characters. The last hour and 15 minutes was a completely different film. It felt like a mix between The Adjustment Bureau and The Box. The storyline delved into the occult, brainwashing, alternate realities- not typically my genre of choice. I wish they'd kept the theme and style of the first hour through the entirety of the film.

It was good and a little weird. I liked it and still scared at some times.

It was empty, man. Not really sure what more can be said. The acting was good, but the story was forgettable. The first fifteen minutes will have you thinking you entered the wrong theater room. Unfortunately, the first fifteen minutes are the best in the film.
