The first must-see film of the year.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

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.

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.

I wasn't really expecting much from this one, but it made me jump out of my seat in the first five minutes, so it I decided to pay attention and was glad I did. End of the Line has a fairly been-there-done-that plot for the most part. Religious fanatics run amok and sinister things happening in a subway is not exactly new ground for horror films, but, unlike many of its ilk, End of the Line, chose to throw in one subtle theme that, for me, made it all worthwhile.The character of Mike is the one to watch. When we are first introduced to Mike in the subway, he is holding Carl Sagan's "The Demon Haunted World", which is a book (one of my favorites) about using skeptical and critical thinking skills to help weed through this world of half-truths and wacky beliefs, which in this film are represented by a religious cult hell-bent on "saving" everyone. Later in the film Mike tells Karen that she shouldn't be afraid of ghosts (or the like), because they would serve as proof of the afterlife. The final scene drives that point home when Karen is surrounded by a horde of you-get-what-you-pay-for demons and reacts in an unexpected manner.Ultimately, this movies isn't so much anti-religion as it is a statement about forming beliefs based on evidentiary fact not prophecy or popular opinion. I recommend End of the Line for anyone who doesn't mind substituting budget for substance. Also, it has plenty of blood for you gore hounds out there. I should mention that, if you are devoutly religious, that you probably should not watch this one; it will make you all grumpy and defensive. P.S. I have a feeling there are even more less-obvious thematic elements which I might have missed that may warrant a 2nd viewing.

What a horribly acted no plot piece of trash waste of time. I would be willing to bet those that rated this movie as good are involved in the film. Other than a few hot girls in the movie it is not worth watching. The sound quality is low budget, the acting is low budget, the video quality is low budget.Those generic low budget horror movies for pre-teen kids are better than this piece of garbage.Honestly, do not waste your time. You would think they would have accidentally hired at least one good actor for this movie but nope they are all terrible.
