It Ends
Directed by Alexander Ullom
A group of recent grads head out on a late night drive for grub, hoping to enjoy one final hangout before their paths diverge. Instead, they accidentally turn onto a never-ending, two-lane hellscape surrounded by untold horrors and cosmic forces beyond their understanding.

60 of 142 · most liked firstCaught IT ENDS at SXSW. What a rad, little sci-fi indie in the vein of PRIMER. An existential dread hangout film about four friends who take a wrong turn down a road that never ends. A clever almost-entirely-in-car anchored by four *great* performances by a cast of young actors. My kind of weird.

neutral · AI labelView post →Enjoyed the movie "It Ends". First time director as far as I know and the acting was great. Chemistry in the script between characters was great. Neon's marketing it as a horror, it's not. It's a movie about the ennui of going to college and discovering there's no jobs waiting for you or future.

neutral · AI labelView post →It Ends was such a great film. Four friends in car on a road that goes on forever. One of those low budget films that relies on a tight premise and perfect execution. It only gets described as horror because genre is marketing, and "horror" is where we dump fun stuff without neat answers.
