Two brothers return to the cult they fled from years ago to discover that the group’s beliefs may be more sane than they once thought…
Reviews:
” …a masterful offering of unearthly visuals, intense time travel theories, and clever suggestions of creatures too vast and strange to comprehend. It makes wonderful use of sound design and gives the audience precisely what they need and nothing more. Simply put, it’s absolutely magnificent.” Jonathan Barkan, Dread Central
” …the supernatural, science fiction, and comedic aspects aren’t the ends, just the means. They allow Moorhead and Benson (the latter once again credited as screenwriter) to take their micro-scale scenario and enlarge it on a macro level in order to expose human truths via their impact. The Endless isn’t about the device being used as much as the evolution of the characters caught within its machinations — much like their brilliant film Spring before it.” Jared Mobarak, The Film Stage
“The Endless is a masterfully crafted genre hybrid that solidifies Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as two of the most interesting and uniquely voiced directors working today. For God’s sake, watch no trailers and read nothing else about it. Just go in cold and ready yourself for one of the best movie-going experiences of the year.” Adam Patterson, Film Pulse
“2017 has already given us some great titles in genre filmmaking, and The Endless is certainly another amazing achievement in that respect. Benson and Moorhead have outdone themselves with a thoroughly engrossing, intelligent, and shocking blend of cult and the occult.” Rob Trench, Talk Film Society
“Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead aren’t making movies to entertain at base value. Life is this scary, ever-threatening beast that offers no real answers, and their films address the beauty of unpredictability head-on […] Few filmmakers today execute on low-fi genre puzzlement with such deafening power, and that’s no mistake.” Matt Donato, We Got This Covered
