The Endless
Aaron (Aaron Moorhead) and Justin (Justin Benson) are brothers who once lived at Camp Arcadia. Aaron remembers the group as a friendly commune while Justin thinks they were a UFO death cult Now, a mysterious video tape arrives in the mail and they decide to return. Not knowing what to expect, they head to the backwoods of San Diego and are pleasantly surprised to see that they are remembered and welcome back.
But are things the same? There are some strange activities going on here, including a nightly tug-of-war against a rope that ascends into the night sky. Who or what is holding it? Justin has the disturbing feeling that someone is watching him and photographs seem to drop mysteriously from the sky. How can there be two moons? It's explained as an atmospheric phenomenon - two moons bring the truth and three moons signify the ascension, which was Justin's fear to begin with.
Even more disturbing is that some people seem to be stuck in time loops, mostly repeated violent
deaths. Justin is told once the third moon rises he will be trapped there. He has to get his brother and get out... now!
I found this low-budget sci fi/horror film rather interesting and innovative, with ideas I've not seen explored before. There was a definite creepiness factor that left me wondering what was happening. I think if I were there, I'd want to run too. Interesting fact - the actors who play the brothers are also the directors/writers. I would watch this one again, definitely worth a watch. I'll give this film 3.75 Stars.
