Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Powerful
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... that's the nature/character of this horrorThe film is more than pleased than disappointed. Total time of film tape is 1 hour 34 minutes 42 seconds, which is the topic (not pulled the rubber ...) Sometimes even very not for the faint of heart, there is a terrible, bloody moments that may affect the psyche, especially if the viewer is not enough experience in the genre of horror. The only pity is that the basis of all the terrible events closely involved some sick in the head believing that the Bible does not even read, filled with heresy and stupid statements that contradict the very belief in God. Although they can then believe in the scenario of some other god... It is expected that I see a bunch of nonsense and stupidity, but here it is almost there. There are some flaws in the script is not insignificant. The basic idea may seem silly at first glance. But it primarily makes the original horror film of all others. And it's not important enough. Then the story of its dynamism and bloody gloomy atmosphere able to drive the viewer into the troubled state of fear that more is based on an internal alarm. Not too terrible fear, but enough to feel all the gloom of the situation and the circumstances of which were the main characters. In general, the plot is rather weak, but keeps at a viewing; and rather grim situation, his ability to subtly impress the viewer. Also liked the musical additions episodes. Features highlight the music, which is very clearly complements all the gloomy atmosphere at the time when the two young men talking to each other, while the tape - 00: 50: 07-1: 00: 57. The music is very grim in the topic - an obvious plus that adds eeriness film and the situation in which they find themselves. A lot of flaws, but the low-budget movie. Realization of this film is not sufficient, pretty weak. But it is not enough to not be able to feel or get his share of horror. Especially if in the film there is such gloomy atmosphere ...gloomy, creepy, dark, ominous ... that is the nature/character of this horror movie
There's just a lot that's inherently spooky about subway tunnels, isn't there? Writer / producer / director Maurice Devereaux certainly realizes this, in this above average modern horror film that gets a lot of mileage out of its very atmospheric settings. In this day and age, any horror film that can creep out a longtime fan of the genre like this viewer is definitely doing its job. Intended by Devereaux as a criticism of religious fanaticism, he actually leaves just enough things in his production ambiguous, and they should get people talking. He scatters some clues about that give one an indication of his own perception of the events that unfold, and leaves such things as the ending open to interpretation.His story gathers together a group of strangers who begin to be preyed upon by a religious group dubbed the Voices of Hope. It seems as if the apocalypse is under way, and now these good folk are determined to "save" other people - by murdering them. The scenario becomes a grim struggle for survival, even as things look more and more bleak as the tale progresses. Among this small group is Karen (Ilona Elkin), a nurse whose bad day is going to turn into a worse night.Devereaux never completely turns his antagonists into cartoon villains, instead treating them as basically human. (There *are* some doubters in the group, after all.) One notable exception is the salacious Patrick, played for maximum disgusting creepiness by Robin Wilcock. You eagerly anticipate the comeuppance of this character. It's true enough that we never get to know our protagonists all that well, but they still come across as likable enough that we don't look forward to seeing them come to bad ends. The pretty Elkin is particularly appealing in the lead. In fact, a lot of the acting in "End of the Line" is better than one might expect to see in this sort of low budget effort.Financed by Devereaux himself (estimated budget at about $200,000 Canadian), this boasts a sufficient amount of splatter to be able to satisfy the gore lovers in the horror film audience. Other visual effects are quite well done, with a lot of the digital stuff done subtly. We do get to see some pretty disturbing visuals and some rather hideous demons. The budget prevents Devereaux from realizing very much of a true apocalyptic vision, but we are shown enough to get the point. He throws in homages to everything from J-horror to Italian horror to "The Shining".This is the kind of thing I'd recommend to horror lovers who are distrustful of most films in the genre being made these days.Eight out of 10.
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
During most of the movie I was thinking "I hope things improve" and they did, but only slightly.I watched this on "The Chiller" network, and based on other reviews I think there must have been quite a bit cut out. Though the gore was as much as a "R" rated movies gets here in the states and the curse words were bleeped, but seems maybe some of the story was deleted as I did not get the ending until I read some of the reviews. Which honestly made me enjoy the movie slightly more.Not sure if I have included a spoiler or not, but if you like horror movies, you might want to watch this with a group of friends so you can discuss the ending. The acting is mostly horrible and plotting seems awfully confusing at times. But I give it an average rating, which is up two stars after I read the other reviews. nice attempt just not clear enough for me. And I generally do not need things spelled out, but this was just not enough for me. :-)
