Review of The Endless (2017) by Tryasummersault — 23 Jun 2018
8.4/10 Once again the incredibly talented and innovative duo of Moorhead/Benson make a very captivating and perplexing spectacle full of ominous imagery and flabbergasting mind boggling conclusions. When I saw their first great film; "Resolution" a few years back, I was absolutely blown away by its unique and foreboding nature, and I was constantly wondering about the ambiguous yet fantastic ending it left us with.
I had a feeling from the first trailer this was going to somehow connect, and thankfully this film ties Resolution in flawlessly and honestly I consider this a sequel that answers some massive questions.
Its imagination and creative unraveling of a insanely brilliant and mysterious tale is incredibly intriguing. The visuals and set pieces are astoundingly well done and set such a clever tone that's doused in suspense and wonder throughout.
It's abundantly clear these guys can make amazing films on lower humble budgets and it speaks volumes about their talent as writers/filmmakers. While it does leave us with another ending that could go either way, I'm holding out hope for another entry into this highly entertaining and thrilling universe.
While I wouldn't classify these films as horror's, I would call them more existential sci/fi/thrillers that get you thinking and pondering.
