The Cosmic Horror of THE ENDLESS (Lovecraftian Reality Warper, Time Domes + Ending) EXPLAINED
3,525Hey guys whats happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’re going to be exploring The Endless, the 2017 supernatural horror, written, directed by and starring Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.
In a genre saturated with overtly explicit horror tropes and a dependence on jump scares, "The Endless" is a compelling, complex, and thoughtful exploration of Lovecraftian cosmic horror that manages to intrigue, unsettle, and mystify, in a film that's just as much about the human condition as it is about otherworldly terrors.
The film follows two brothers, Aaron and Justin, who return to the UFO death cult they escaped from a decade earlier, only to find that the group's bizarre beliefs about an unseen entity might hold more truth than they initially thought. As their differing objectives and motivations clash, we see the pair go through a harrowing experience that pushes them to the limit, with a Lovecraftian monster threatening to upend their world.
In this video, we’re going to explore the story, the weird Lovecraftian monster at the crux of the film, in addition to the ending.
