J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 03/05/2020
Unfortunately the filmmakers introduce a sci-fi element in the second half that deflates much of the interpersonal tension and shifts the focus from the subtleties of mind control to the vagaries of time and space. Go to Full Review

The biggest lesson of The Endless is how we can allow our lives to loop around in one crappy cycle until we cop out. Go to Full Review

2/5
Despite an imaginative concept, the narrative feels surprisingly bland, even when the pieces begin to fall into place - and when there's no quick punchline to fall back on, the film suffers. Go to Full Review
Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite 07/09/2024
4.5/5
In trademark Benson-Moorhead fashion, the film is a genre-fluid experience that boldly chooses not to be bound by horror restrictions, instead allowing its viewers to relate to the emotion that hits home the hardest. Go to Full Review

This independent film is a unique balance between Lovecraftian world building, the intimacies of family dynamics, and the horrors of the personal limitations. Go to Full Review

I felt like it was very confusing about the whole history behind the boys... but I do feel like there is some great production value in there. Go to Full Review

Ally N @aj1019x 12h it was SO good. the themes of brotherhood, the unknown, trauma. the way you’re left with questions at the end, and want to dive deeper into the universe these men have created for us on-screen. some scenes reminded me of "Midsommar", how even in broad daylight they can still have you on the edge of your seat. Would definitely re-watch. See more Al W @Coachal 2d Complete waste of your time. Rotten tomato professional reviewers must need to acknowledge their unique talents by digging down into crap that is insipid and boring and invent some remarkable significance. Stay away from this putrid flick. See more @deedee6741 Dec 20 This movie was genuinely terrible. Whole movie was a snooze fest and full of unnecessary dialogue and yapping. Literally just skipped through half the movie and the plot is all over the place and completely incomplete and unclear even after finishing the movie. After reading the reviews I thought I was going to be in for a treat and it was such a big dissappointment that I had to go out of my way to write this review. See more Nathan S Nov 2 Wow, this film is a journey. Incredibly gripping and detail dripping. I love the low budget feel yet that doesn’t compromise the twists and reveals. Must see See more Francesca B Oct 28 Such a boring film. Pretentious critic crap. Film school nonsense See more Gabriel T @GabrielFagundes Oct 22 Interesting how it could create an eerie atmosphere that makes your heart accelerate using the unexplainable. It didn't even needed to show monster or gory scenes, only the suggestion was needed See more Read all reviews
