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.

Audience Says

An interesting premise does not a movie make, and the best part about It Ends is that it does.

3/5

While the eternal nature of the road in It Ends seems to be a curse, the open-ended nature of its discussion of purpose may turn out to be its biggest blessing.

3.5/4

"It Ends," the phenomenal feature debut from writer-director Alexander Ullom, is an incision into a raw nerve.

For a movie about people going nowhere, It Ends has quite a bit to say about moving on.

They don’t make badges of valor for making it through the day, but if it could, IT ENDS would break off a piece of the crown for everyone who’s made it through.

4/5

The outwardly mundane is a portal to horror in film-maker Alexander Ullom’s deeply disturbing debut.

Its lean runtime and Twilight Zone-like ambiguity make it one of the more effective entries in the current wave of Gen-Z horror.

While It was interesting to watch all the way to the end it transforms what seems to be a normal road trip into an existential nightmare.

most people won't be able to appreciate this film. it's about life, how we all have a path and decisions to make along the way. the journey matters, our attitudes and appreciating all that comes our way. it's not really horror, but like life this film does have a few scares

I’m not a big horror/scary movie fan, so I didn’t have high expectations - but this was good. Definitely worth seeing even if you don’t usually like genre.

This movie drags & drags & drags & drags & drags. If the point is to make the viewer feel like they’re also on this never ending road, then they succeeded. The first half is promising & had potential & then it all just turns boring & lazy. Maybe it could’ve worked better as a short film. The actors did a good job though.

This is fascinating and heartbreaking. A haunting meditation on existentialism and mortality
