In theaters this weekend is It Ends, an impressive debut from writer and director Alexander Ullom. An excellent example of what can be accomplished with low-budget, DIY filmmaking, I discussed the story’s origins, Ullom’s influences, and more in our recent interview:
“Some wrong turns last forever.
A group of recent grads head out on a late night drive for grub, hoping to enjoy one final hangout before their paths diverge. Instead, they accidentally turn onto a never-ending, two-lane hellscape surrounded by untold horrors and cosmic forces beyond their understanding. Cramped together inside a Jeep Cherokee and with the miles stretching infinitely ahead, they face a choice: embrace their new existence or fight to escape it.“
