Four friends on a late-night drive find themselves trapped on an endless road to nowhere.
Recent college graduates Tyler, James, Fisher and Day head out for a bite to eat on one of their last nights together before life inevitably sends them off in different directions. But after missing a turn and circling back only to find a dead end that isn’t marked on Google Maps, the friends realise that they’re stuck on an infinite highway … and that something terrifying is lurking in the dense, dark forest on either side of them. Are they in purgatory? Is it a shared hallucination, or a portal to another dimension?
Using this deceptively simple premise as a jumping-off point for unexpected detours into philosophically knotty places, It Ends is a gen Z movie through and through – deeply unnerving, and speaking directly to a generation whose uncertain future can feel more frightening than any monster.
“It’s Jean-Paul Sartre with a gen Z spin, a hangout horror movie rife with existential anxieties that cinema and television have been wrestling with since their inception.” – Variety
