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.

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.

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.

3/5

Before steering things down the road to nowhere, Ullom’s script offers some sparky dialogue between what is an inevitably sketchily drawn but relatable foursome.

4/5

The real danger, Ullom suggests, isn't physical but existential - this is not about how to survive life's endless endurance test, but why bother - and his conclusions push towards the profound.

B+

It wonderfully rides this line between opaqueness and lucidity. It doesn't hold your hand or provide much world building, yet the film's motives and themes are clear.
