“CALL OF THE VOID” (2025) Is Beckoning Us With Its Digital Release
When we are young, the stories we hear from our peers and our family are the ones that can terrify us for life, thanks to the greatness that is horror folklore. Horror folklore injects an eerie authenticity into modern horror films, making nightmares feel like inherited curses rather than fleeting frights. When a story taps into centuries-old superstitions, whether it is vengeful spirits, cryptic rituals, or creatures whispered about in the dark. Something about it carries the weight of generations who swore it was real. That primal fear in us all, blurring the line between spooky fiction and something far more unsettling. After all, it’s one thing to be stalked by a masked killer, but it’s another to wonder if the thing watching from the shadows has been there long before you and plans to stay long after.
The horror loving ghouls here at Macabre Daily have received news that there is a new horror movie based on folklore that has us anxiously wanting to see what will unfold. Here is what we have heard and the synopsis:
From The Press Release
“After the tragic death of her brother, Moray retreats to a remote mountain cabin to try and escape her work, her family, and her old life. However, her quiet retreat is quickly diverted by a college band moving into the unit next door and a suspicious professor studying a local phenomenon involving a mysterious hum. She discovers that the Hum is a gateway to something otherworldly, unnameable, and once heard--there is no return. The Hum is a sonic experience that asks the question: How can you escape your own senses?”
“Call of the Void” is a folk horror tale featuring songs from the Appalachian folk songbook performed live by the cast. Horror fans will be treated to a thrill both new and unexpected while drawing from the works of cosmic horror author, H.P. Lovecraft.

It was written and directed by James B. Cox (Hacked, Grey Matter, based on a short story by Stephen King).
