End of the Line (2007)

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Some movies are bad but still manage to entertain you in a weird way. They say, those are so bad they're good. This one is not the case. Right from the start I had to make a special effort not to turn it off and finish it. The editing was spastic, the movie just jumped all over the place, showing random people and forgetting them instantly. They sort of introduced the main character, but later it turns out there is no main character. They set up a mystery with starting scenes which have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the rest of the movie. Everything besides gore and creature effects in this felt like a high school production. So, basically the first 20 minutes are just filler, these scenes establish nothing. Add around 40 mins of run-hack'n'slash around and we're almost done. If the movie's poster was what grabbed your attention I have bad news for you - you will be disappointed. It ends with nothing, meeting the viewer's expectations that are gone by that point. There's nothing special to say about this movie, except for probably the acting, most of which ranges from bad to over the top fun. There's even a "character" whose whole motivation is sex, he attempts multiple rapes during the movie and even at the brink of death gets very rapey. Overall, this is very forgettable. I can't really figure out why are there so many good reviews of this. Since I still want to say something good about this movie, I can surely say that some of the gore effects were well done (even though not being very creative) and the creature effects were pretty neat especially for a low budget horror, too bad they are in the movie for 20 seconds.

Brilliantly crafted, thrilling, and thought provoking,It contains an interesting message: beware of religious fanatics, beware of those zealous followers of the occult, who kill in the name of their divine. The movie can definitely be regarded as an allegory about the church, judging from the cross-shaped weapons used by the religious group.The core of the movie is smartly wrapped in gory graphics and an intense story. Stabbing, decapitating, cutting a baby out of a pregnant woman... all those scenes are literally bloody powerful.The end of the movie is quite intriguing. From every religious fanatic's body, a demon crept out in the style of ALIEN. Beautiful! Devil's inside every religious fanatic.

Karen is a nurse at a psychiatric hospital whose been having nightmares of jump scares recently(and yeah, those do make a lot of appearances in this... but it does build a proper atmosphere, and is a very tense ride). On her way home, the subway train she's on stops suddenly, and she and a group of other regular people find themselves chased by a cult(who are genuinely and effectively creepy, throughout; they make this, in part, a zombie flick) out for blood, who claim that judgment day is coming(and that death is the better fate). Is this just a band of mad believers, or could they actually be right? This keeps it vague enough that you continue to ask yourself that question throughout, right up until the great ending. It goes into themes about faith(without it saying that it's completely good or bad), religious fanaticism(how far will they go?), hypocrisy, status and the like. This is somewhat exploitative(with some truly brutal gore, and extremely disturbing sequences, if these are moderate in amount), and it gets quite cheesy(the killers all use crosses that function as knives, and one of them, a middle-aged guy no less, wields a friggin' sword). It doesn't overstay its welcome, and keeps to a solid pace, and it gets going quickly whilst at the same time developing the characters, all of whom are sufficiently likable and credible(no one is really obnoxious, albeit one member of the murdering lot is truly despicable... but we love to hate him, and it really works). The FX vary, however most are excellent(a couple of designs and choices are questionable). This is at its best in the first 20 minutes or so, and if you find yourself not happy with the change after about that period of time, you might not like the rest of this. It does feel like the two portions of it don't completely fit together. The hour and a half do pass like nothing, and it has positive surprises along the way. Dialog tends to be fine, if there are a handful of lines that are... strange. Acting is so-so. There's a reason those on this cast aren't "names". There is some sexuality and a little strong language in this. I recommend this to fans of dark Gothic horror. 7/10

I just watched this movie and I immediately knew it was going to be awesome when it made me scream like a little school girl in the first 5 minutes of the film. OUT LOUD! I am a huge horror buff and not much even makes me yelp! It was a pleasant surprise, as most of the crap my brother brings over for me to watch usually doesn't make much sense or is just too out there to enjoy. But End of the Line is a great Canadian horror flick. Who needs zombies when you have religious fanatics trying to save non-believers with a razor sharp crucifix, sending them to the Almighty!? Sounds corny, but why not? How many hard core religious followers would kill in the name of their God if they were told the Apocylpse was coming? Not too far fetched to believe. And stuck in a subway during the whole thing!? The artwork on the DVD cover was right, "does what Jaws did for the ocean". I'll probably poop if I am ever caught down in a subway system after dark in a big city after seeing this. If you like horror movies, give End of the Line a shot. The acting at times is a small amount cheesy, but the story is great, so are the monsters and many of the unexpected awesome scares that a true horror fan will appreciate!
