Jeff's Really Short Reviews Presents: THE ENDLESS (2017)

I've mentioned many times that our introduction to the writing/directing team of Moorehead and Benson were first brought to our attention by our patron saint Bill Oberst Jr who had the pleasure of playing a creepy Frenchman in their film RESOLUTION. I've also debated and reveled in the new wave of cerebral horror Benson/Moorehead were a part of and gave, them especially, my hopes that they would bring us more. I was extremely excited when their next big project, SPRING, was announced, and definitely did not let now. Once a sequel to RESOLUTION was announced I waited with anticipation for what I knew was going to be thrilling and mind bending on a level that only story tellers like them could manage, and they did.

THE ENDLESS takes us into the heart of two young survivors (played by Benson and Moorehead) of what may have been a death cult as they decide to go back and visit after escaping. Their lives haven't gotten much better since leaving, so why not? Once there the film turns into exactly what you expect as thing go from ok to downright creepy. There are few writers and directors in the independent world that can weave a tail as engrossing as Benson/Moorehead and still keep it on the edge of horror. THE ENDLESS is another winner on both the psychological and entertainment front.

As with all things Moorehead and Benson, THE ENDLESS comes highly recommended by the Creepercast. Although already suggested, definitely check out RESOLUTION first since there are important elements of THE ENDLESS that calls back to it. At last look both were available on NetFlix.
