4.0 out of 5 stars Religious fundamentalism gone terribly wrong, May 26, 2009

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: End of the Line (DVD)

Just finished watching this little indie again, and I have to say that I enjoyed it more the 2nd time around. I'll try to keep this short and sweet:

Synopsis

The film centers on a group of commuters that get stranded in an isolated subway network and are pursued by the members of a religious group trying to "save" them. Unfortunately, this means taking a crucifix dagger to the back and/or chest as the members believe the end of the world has come and that the only way to protect the souls of the innocent is to send them straight to god themselves.

Thoughts

The atmosphere was dark and brooding
There were some really excellent gore sequences
The acting was believable
The demons were unique and creepy
I appreciated the commentary regarding the danger of religious fundamentalism and how blind faith and/or brainwashing can (and in the past have) lead to problems

My only major complaint was the limited appearances by the demons. But after watching the film the 2nd time, I was glad that the on screen portrayal of the demons was limited as this would have undoubtedly reduced the impact of the ending

This movie would make a strong addition to any genre fans library

8/10

Enjoy

E. Romero

3.0 out of 5 stars Uneven but satisfying horror, May 23, 2009

Horror Buff "tigerfannc" (Hickory, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: End of the Line (DVD)

Religious zealots following the orders of a fanatical pastor to kill in order to save souls is not a new theme, but the presentation here is rather unique. While the city erupts in violence after the order to begin murdering the sinful citizenry, our story centers around a handful of passengers in the subway trying to outwit or outrun believers who have received the call (via cell phones) to carry out the murderous plot. There is plenty of blood, a bit of suspense, and the apperance of demons, who could have added to the film if they were written into more scenes. The characters have just enough depth for us to have more than a passing interest, and there are few moments of absolute stupidity that often burden horror films. There is an aura of dread and realism that does make the flick engrossing, though it suffers from a slow beginning and an ending that I did not find satisfying at all. However, the journey is an engrossing one as the pace picks up, and there is adequate balance between suspense, drama, and a supernatural element that keeps the viewer involved.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly enjoyable..., August 21, 2009

Low-Ranking Reviewer "tell it like it is" (US of A) - See all my reviews

This review is from: End of the Line (DVD)

...considering it started out so badly for me. Some cheap scares at the beginning, cheap/sparse looking sets(especially the train compartments), the over-sexed young couple cliche, religious nuts on the loose plot-line, etc. All this conspired against the movie and made me want to shut it off early on, but i couldn't cause it was a rental and my gf wanted to see it through.

And i'm glad i did. Cause somewhere along the way, as the survivors gathered together and united against the zealots, i actually began to care or like them. This is very rare in horror films for me cause usually i find characters in horror films tend to be annoying to the point where i just end up rooting for the killer or monster to dispose of them in a gory fashion. Or, i only see them as a means to further the plot or action. Or, i usually care for only the lead performer(s).

Not so with this low-budget gem. I actually wanted to see most, if not all of them, make it through. I wanted that Asian chick to get here revenge on her attacker, the 'over-sexed' young couple mentioned earlier to escape their predicament, the two railway workers, the two leads, the tough guy trying to lead the group...i wanted, or wouldn't have mind, if most of the people survived this film and was glued to the screen to see who would and how. Bad news, not all of them make it. But i'll let you watch it to see who makes it and who doesn't.

I can't persuade you to watch this movie cause of the scenery, action, or effects(although it is rather bloody) since it's a low budget horror. But it does have some nice atmosphere, chills, and creepiness-factor that some horror films today severely lack. And it has something most horror films today don't have- a group of people you may actually like, care about, identify with, or root for.

Btw, the dvd had a few extras but i had to return the rental disc before i could access them. I really would have liked to check out the commentary though to see what went through the director's mind when putting this film together. Worth a watch and definitely recommended as a rental.
