THE ENDLESS (full review at The Reel Word)

The Endless is Justin Benson and Aaron Scott Moorhead’s follow up to 2014s unique body horror romance Spring. The Endless made its Australian debut at the 2017 Melbourne International Film Festival, ahead of a broader release this month.

Benson and Moorhead also take on the leading roles, as Justin and Aaron respectively, two brothers who have escaped from a UFO cult and spent ten years trying to adjust to life outside the compound. They work cleaning jobs, struggle to make friends and Aaron, being too young to remember negative experiences with the cult, is resentful of how tough they have it in ‘normal’ society. Aaron longs for the familiarity and comfort of their former home. So when a mysterious video tape arrives from the cult, Justin relents under pressure and agrees to visit for one day. Upon arrival, they are immediately welcomed at Camp Arcadia and reunited with old friends. The cult subsists on the profits from their popular homebrew, and having obviously not committed suicide, as Justin had claimed, the simple country life of the cult begins to look a lot more appealing to Aaron than their hand-to-mouth existence back home. However the longer the brothers stay at the compound, the more they start to notice strange and inexplicable events.
