The Endless is an exciting puzzle film that is visually surprising and assumes an intelligent audience, and it also serves as proof to all aspiring filmmakers that big visions need not be stifled by limited resources. Awaiting the brothers, however, is the realization that their cult friends might not have been so crazy after all, and the more time they spend on the compound, the less likely it is they’ll ever be able to leave it again. After receiving a video message inviting them back to the compound, they decide to take a brief trip and finally get closure on that early chapter of their lives. In Endless (written, as always, by Benson), the pair star as brothers who fled a death cult years ago, but who have had trouble assimilating into society since breaking free. The directing duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson have been two of the most exciting filmmakers in the genre space for years now, and their latest offering, The Endless, is both an outstanding original film and a nod to their previous work that will reward longtime fans.
Scary movies from 2017 to 2018 movie#
Krasinski’s movie is the popcorn horror spectacle of the year, and for that we honor it. And little details like using large leaves to serve food and making board-game pieces out of soft materials to prevent noise made the world-building feel complete. Recent films like Don’t Breathe and Hush have used sensory deprivation horror to great effect, but A Quiet Place brings that technique into a full-on monster movie. And yet! Krasinski and Emily Blunt star in this creature feature about a family of four (with one on the way) trying to survive in a new world overrun by sound-sensitive monsters. When production started two years ago on the John Krasinksi–written and –directed scary movie A Quiet Place, none of us were predicting it would go on to be one of the highest earning and most critically praised horror films of the year. On top of all of that, this was a year when the best sequels and remakes and adaptations made statements just as bold as the experimental indies, and below you’ll find them in Vulture’s ten best horror films of 2018. And the women in front of the camera reigned supreme as impeccably styled witches, hard-boiled scientist explorers, cam girls, powerful mothers, monster killers, and more. Annihilation turned the internal war of the self into a beautiful monster, and Halloween ended up being a studio-funded slasher about the long-term effects of abuse. Luca Guadagnino made Suspiria into a bloody ballet. An anniversary getaway for two married women goes deadly wrong in What Keeps You Alive. And now we get to say it again in 2018: It’s been a great year for horror! And year-over-year, we see the genre getting a little more queer, a little less white, and little less bound by patriarchal structures, as the subversion of old genre clichés - beloved as they are - becomes more the rule than the exception.
