The riveting prologue of an otherwise-polarizing failure set the bar too high way too early

Horror always tends to split opinion among fans and critics, but very rarely does the former offer higher marks to a scary movie than the latter. That turned out to be the case with The Empty Man, though, which was ironically fitting given that the film suffered through a production that could generously be described as torturous.

Even though shooting took place in late 2016, it wouldn’t be until October 2020 that writer and director David Prior’s supernatural mystery was sent out into the wilderness to die a slow and painful death – earning just $5 million at the box office on a $16 million budget, and that was after surviving a rushed editing process that saw the filmmaker forced to cobble together a rapid-fire assembly cut in order to meet tax-friendly deadlines.
