Critics Consensus

Smartly driven by its magnetic young ensemble and mounting sense of dread, It Ends twists a perpetual road trip into an existential nightmare.

Audience Says

An interesting premise does not a movie make, and the best part about It Ends is that it does.

It Ends will silently pose the questions through James and his friends' harrowing journey. But its up to each audience member to find the meaning themselves.

Ullom hasn’t made the horror movie that its marketing might suggest, but he has created something more interesting than most low-budget debuts in the genre.

It Ends creeps up on you, works its way into your bones. It feels for stretches like little is happening, and you’re lulled by its rhythms, the steady drone of tires on infinite asphalt.

In terms of the writing, it was remarkably restrained. I really liked that. It is very smart about the human tendency to impute everything.

As opposed to Backrooms, I think this is much more intellectually and emotionally probing, even if it doesn't necessarily reveal all that much about why exactly this is happening.

A fabulously inventive micro-budget horror thriller...An excellent example of a talented filmmaker (debut writer/director Alexander Ullom) squeezing as much as possible from a great idea with very limited production values.

While It was interesting to watch all the way to the end it transforms what seems to be a normal road trip into an existential nightmare.

most people won't be able to appreciate this film. it's about life, how we all have a path and decisions to make along the way. the journey matters, our attitudes and appreciating all that comes our way. it's not really horror, but like life this film does have a few scares

I’m not a big horror/scary movie fan, so I didn’t have high expectations - but this was good. Definitely worth seeing even if you don’t usually like genre.

This movie drags & drags & drags & drags & drags. If the point is to make the viewer feel like they’re also on this never ending road, then they succeeded. The first half is promising & had potential & then it all just turns boring & lazy. Maybe it could’ve worked better as a short film. The actors did a good job though.
