The Empty Man will be launched for us in 2020, with unlimited access to topics such as supernatural thrills and horror. David Prior is the person who writes, directs and edits the entire story. The plot is inspired by the graphic of the same name created by Cullen Bunn and Vanessa R. Del Rey. You should know that this movie has already been shot in 2017. Although, when the test screening took place, they got very poor scores.
We have also seen that the publishers of 20th Century Studios also lost confidence in their business prospects. Well, when the movie was finally released in 2020, after many re-editing and careful consideration, the critics were still dissatisfied. The reaction to the whole movie was mixed. Later, when the story was published on the home media, its critic scores improved a lot, and it even gained a fanatical following.
As for the plot, we see that the spotlight is shared by four friends named Greg, as well as Fiona and Ruth and Paul. The timeline is set in 1995 in the Ula Valley in Bhutan. They all go hiking in the mountains. Paul thought someone was calling him, and when he started investigating the voice, he fell into the gap. Later, Greg found him, but Paul’s state is beyond words. He was crying and shaking on his knees, looking down at the huge strange, inhuman skeleton embedded in the cave wall.

Empty Man-Plot
Now, Greg was about to touch Paul, and he whispered to him that if Paul touched him, he would also die. Greg must hesitate a little, but put his hand on Paul and dragged him out of the gap. Soon, a blizzard hit this place, so all four of them hid in an empty house. Apart from Paul, the group discussed whether their friends were really pretending to be something. This is because Paul was diagnosed with depression and even tried to commit suicide in the past. The next day, Lucy was chased by the soul of the creature in the crevice. On the same night, Paul whispered a few words to Ruth while slowly being possessed by his soul.
He disappeared the next day. When the others tried to find Paul, he was in the snow beside the bridge they crossed. We witnessed that after seeing the body, Ruthie became dazed and lost control of her senses. She stabbed Greg and slit Fiona’s throat, then threw their bodies onto the cliff. Before jumping off the cliff, Ruthie shared a brief look with Paul, who is now The Empty Man. This is how we got the protagonist of the story, which led to various terrible events and myths about the empty people around the residents living near the forest. Well, some people have had some trouble understanding the ending of this movie. That’s why we are here to explain all this for you.

Empty ending explanation
Let’s assume that you have watched the entire movie and just have questions about the ending. Therefore, at the last moment, we see that Paul is dying after the pressure of being an “empty man.” During this period, James found Amanda in Paul’s ward. This is why the cult needs a new container to carry the spirit. This is when Amanda tells the truth. As it happens, James is actually a tulpa, which means that it is a potential new container for spiritual dwelling.
He will also be able to provide a blank slate, because all his memories and personal relationships are actually fabricated by her and the cult. This is done to ensure that the connection between the deity and his pain and loss will never disappear. He was completely disintegrated by the news and couldn’t believe it. All along, members of the cult brought him to the dimension of his transformation. Before becoming the new empty man, he killed Paul.
