Film School: Why Our Critic Justin Tanner Recommends This Classic! ‘The Endless’ (2017)
Brothers Justin and Aaron (played by the filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead) escaped from a U.F.O. Death cult ten years ago, and their lives have been stagnating ever since.
Loveless, sexless and seemingly without prospects for a future, they fumble about in a daze, cleaning houses for pennies and longing for a life outside the grim reality they find themselves in.
Luckily (or not) the arrival of a mysterious video tape offers a possible escape from their malaise.
But it also entails returning to the scene of their earlier trauma: Camp Aurora, the commune in the remote California woods where something huge and unknowable lurks just out of sight.
Directors Benson and Moorhead, whose impressive filmography includes the Lovecraftian romance “Spring,” the druggy, time-traveling epic “Synchronic” and the mind-bending, cosmic-horror “Something in the Dirt”, have concocted here a unique and utterly believable vision of hell where a distant, punishing God (not unlike the Catholic version I grew up with), treats his followers like a bratty kid burning insects with a magnifying glass:
Believe in him and enjoy the fruits of a rich and lovely life. Deny him and face the visceral consequences of eternal damnation.
With minimal violence and a series of confounding visions that only hint at the unimaginable cruelties lurking in the periphery, “The Endless” is a tightly written, slow burn nightmare of unrelenting dread that turns the idea of immortality into an unspeakable horror. ~Justin Tanner
