Welcome to the infinite highway.
The existential horror thriller It Endsinvites you to enter an endless path, while presenting a fresh perspective on the time loop genre.
According to its official synopsis: “A group of teenagers goes out for a nighttime ride. Piled into a Jeep, they end up entering an endless two-lane hell, surrounded by untold horrors and inexplicable cosmic forces.”
After going out to look for food late at night, the group of friends becomes trapped on an endless highway, stalked by otherworldly horrors. Confined to their Jeep Cherokee, they must decide whether to accept their fate or try to escape.
The four characters are played by new actors unknown to the mainstream audience: Phinehas Law (Smoking Tigers), Akira Jackson (Urban Flesh Eaters), Noah Toth (Senior Prank) y Mitchell Cole (Against the Spread).
