The Empty Man

In Missouri, former cop and widower James Lasombra (James Badge Dale) investigates his neighbor’s missing teen daughter, who leaves a bloody message: “The Empty Man made me do it.”

The trail leads James to a supernatural figure known as “the Empty Man” and a cult that worships him — believing he can be summoned. As James delves deeper, his perception of reality and truth begins to shift.

Released by 20th Century during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Empty Man was initially discarded by its studio but later gained a dedicated cult following on streaming and home video.
