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.

Not bad for a directorial debut, great first act and I get the concept but still not enough to have me want to watch it again or recommend it.

This journey was a beautiful illustration of the fact that we are all existing in different variations of reality. The idea that we all get to the same place is highlighted by the fact that some will continue searching, and some will decide to just be at peace with where they are, and most people are somewhere on that infinite road trying to decide when its right to stop looking outward and start looking within.

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.
