Review: It Ends (2025)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog..
This time I’m reviewing a film that Rod Sterling would
royally appreciate. It’s a film about some friends who get stuck in their car
on a road that never seems to end. Freaky stuff.
Friends on a late-night food run become trapped on an
infinite highway with otherworldly terrors lurking beyond. Confined in their
car, they must decide whether to accept their fate or attempt escape.
Rod Sterling made his career coming up with freaky what if
senarios and exploring them in his timeless anthology series The Twilight Zone
and even now, thanks to its popularity we find on occasion filmmakers jumping
into Sterling’s shoes and bringing us interesting tales of psychological terror
that allow us to question our perceptions of reality. This is one of those
films and on what appears to be a rather shoestring budget these filmmakers
came up with something interesting.
Don’t expect a bunch of special FX or CGI monsters, this is
about the human mind and how it reacts to extraordinary situations, if you are
expecting anything flashy you will be
disappointed. This film is mostly just a bunch of people driving and eventually
falling apart mentally.rhere are strange people in the woods that attack the
car if it stops for too long. Eventually they start seeing broken down cars on
the road, so this has happened to others, possibly the insane people in the
woods. Did these people give up driving? What is the reason all this is
happening? Do these questions even get answered? Sorry…spoilers! Nope nope
nope…gotta watch the movie.
I really enjoyed this film. I like having material that gets
you rhinking rather than just being a passive viewer. That is the charm of
these types of films.
So, here is the important question…Does this film live up to
the legacy of Rod Sterling? I rate this film STERKINGRIFFIC!
