Critics Consensus

The Endless benefits from its grounded approach to an increasingly bizarre story, elevated by believable performances by filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

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.

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

Rated: 3.5/4

One Room With A View

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.

Rated: 2/5

Cinema Elite

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

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

Rated: A

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.

This movie had way too many plot holes and added plot. To top it off it was the worst acting and writing i have ever seen. Do not recommend unless you want to waste 2hrs of your life.

I’m glad I watched RESOLUTION yesterday while it was still fresh in my mind. I had so many questions at the end of RESOLUTION that were mostly resolved by the end of THE ENDLESS. These films created an intriguing , eerie, sci-fi story. Now I’m wondering how SOMETHING IN THE DIRT fits into these two films.

The Endless truly is endless. It takes you on a wild ride into thee unknown. An abyss of mystery, paranormal activity, darkness, destruction, and strong will. It's a powerful, touching, and enticing movie that will keep you attached in wonder at the events and mysteries that lie around every corner. It is a wonderful movie. Original, other than ordinary, different, off topic, and just what movie goers need a story with a bright imagination. I highly recommend you watch this movie.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
