William Bibbiani TheWrap 1h
It’s profoundly troubling and all the more powerful for its simplicity. Go to Full Review Lindsey Bahr Associated Press 5h
2.5/4
It’s a neat concept that wears a little thin after a while, but it’s a movie that shows promise not only in Ullom’s ability to create a sustained, ominous mood, but in his eye for casting a group of talented and essentially unknown actors. Go to Full Review Alissa Wilkinson New York Times 6h
It Ends, on the other hand, is about something less individually horrifying, more systemically ghastly: finally taking the on-ramp to adulthood, only to discover that what you’ve worked for your whole life, until now, is unblinking, unchanging monotony. Go to Full Review Andrea Chase Killer Movie Reviews 5h
4/5
The premise is esoteric, but the execution is psychologically rich and compelling thanks to performances from the four leads that delve rich emotional depths and entirely recognizable human foibles. Go to Full Review Matt Goldberg Commentary Track (Ghost.io) 8h
4/5
Alex Ullom takes a simple premise and pushes it to maximum effect in his captivating thriller. Go to Full Review Michael Nordine Movie Brief 9h
3/4
Forms a recursive loop alongside Exit 8 and Backrooms in its portrayal of a uniquely nightmarish dread: the growing awareness that the liminal space you’re in appears to go on forever with no offramp in sight. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Bill S @Rhubarbman 1h I saw this at the Regal Mystery Movie and the audience booed at the end. Paper thin characters, a lack of scares, and the refusal to answer any of the film's mysteries make for a dull watch. I can't understand why the critics scores are so high, watching this movie is a chore. See more Doug 1h one of the worst movies ever produced. I wanted the car to drive off a cliff. absolutely not scary or anything completely terrible. I would have given it zero stars if I could. See more jesse v 2h take the concept of Pacific drive the video game, take out all the supernatural aspects, add in characters from Until Dawn, add memes, and that's it. the movie is a giant metaphor that could have had less environment shots and a faster paced ending. The actors were outstanding though. See more Read all reviews
