It Ends: The Road Trip Where Destination Is Never Reached
22 Jul
Summary
- The film explores the fear of endless permanence in environmental settings.
- It is part of a trifecta of Gen-Z horror movies released this summer.
- The movie is set to premiere in New York and Los Angeles on August 21.
Alex Ullom's directorial debut, It Ends, questions the nature of endlessness, contrasting with "What if inside went on forever?" The film depicts a single, unending road trip, exploring how long one could endure being confined with friends. This movie is the third in a trio of Gen-Z horror releases this summer.
The common thread in these films is the fear of permanence – the dread that a change is irreversible. While some explore magical mischief, It Ends grounds this fear in an environmental context. A notable aspect of the film is the characters' self-aware humor and ironic detachment, even as they face an inescapable situation.
It Ends is scheduled to be released in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on August 21, with a subsequent nationwide rollout planned. The film taps into a contemporary anxiety about uncontrollable and unending circumstances.
