The Endless (2017)

The Endless (2017) — a slow-burning, mind-bending blend of drama, fantasy, and horror. When two adult brothers revisit the UFO death cult they fled as children after a mysterious videotape resurfaces, they expect to confront old wounds. What they find instead is an eerie, increasingly inexplicable reality: strange phenomena around the camp, hints of time and causality bending, and a charismatic community preparing for a looming event. Viewing experience: expect a tense, intimate character piece that gradually shifts into unnerving science‑fiction horror. The film leans on atmosphere and mounting dread more than jump scares—quiet, off‑kilter scenes, ambiguous clues, and surreal moments build a puzzle that rewards close attention. At its heart is the brothers’ fraught relationship and the emotional stakes of faith, memory, and belonging; these human elements make the cosmic oddities feel grounded and unsettling. The result is thoughtful, eerie, and often surprising—perfect for viewers who like slow-burn mysteries (think Coherence or low‑budget cosmic horror) that end on ambiguous, thought-provoking notes rather than neat answers.
