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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Utterly the most pointless film in modern memory.

Much more potential. This movie relied on some white trash crack heads to be the pinnacle of the movie, the concept pretty much reaching a climax with a few deranged characters. Of course in the plot it’s justified why they’d be so crazy. But overall the use of special effects was decent and I think they could’ve had a much much better payout for the slow burn and build up. Wouldn’t watch again and wouldn’t recommend. But a few points for cinematography, the acting and the initial concept. This movie could have easily been better if they just decided to give the audience the juice instead being so artsy fartsy.

The movie is extremely boring and kinda pointless. It builds up expectations, and keeps building, until it just ends and leaves you wonder why did you waste your time with this.

Really creepy and disturbing! Way better than more mainstream movies like 'Disclosure Day'.

Litteraly felt like a huge filler episode. There was no attempt in the horror aspect. 2 hours of boring building up for a nothing burger.
