The Endless

**”The Endless,” directed by the talented duo Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson, is a film that dances on the fine line between reality and the surreal, pulling you in with the eerie gravity of its cult-centered narrative. At its core, the story follows two brothers, played by none other than Moorhead and Benson themselves, who venture back to a cult they escaped from years ago. Honestly, the whole setup has this mind-bending quality that keeps you guessing—are the beliefs they once scoffed at truly as insane as they thought?

With a runtime of 112 minutes, this 2017 gem lingers in the realm of sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and drama, so you know it’s going to be a wild ride. At first glance, the brothers’ return feels like a reunion filled with nostalgia, but as they delve deeper, they uncover layers of the cult’s beliefs that challenge their previous convictions… It’s like peeling back the layers of an onion—tears, revelations, and a whole lot of complexity.

One of the standout aspects of “The Endless” is how it beautifully intertwines with themes of brotherhood and existential dread. As they navigate the cult’s surrounding mysteries, we see the brothers not just face external threats, but also grapple with the internal turmoil of their own relationship. This dynamic pulls you in, making you root for them while you find yourself questioning… everything.

The film has a rating of 6.5, which may not sound stellar, but trust me, there’s something about its haunting atmosphere and cleverly crafted narrative that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll. Callie Hernandez, Tate Ellington, and Shane Brady deliver solid performances, adding depth and tension to an already gripping plot.

If you’re up for something that mixes thought-provoking storytelling with a dose of the uncanny, “The Endless” is certainly worth your time on Peacock. Just prepare yourself for a journey that leaves you both satisfied and… a little unsettled, because in this twisted tale, reality is just a suggestion, and sanity is a fragile notion.
