THE ENDLESS

The cult recruitment is spreading for the Lovecraftian thriller The Endless (read our review) as Arrow Films & Arrow Video reveal their plans for Benson and Moorhead’s movie in the UK.  The swirling vortex sky art by Brandon Schaefer is recreated on the quad poster as well as the Blu-ray.  Set a date for seeing it in the cinema and on Digital HD from June 29th, while the physical media manifests on July 2nd.

“When brothers Justin (Benson) and Aaron (Moorhead), former members of a “crazy UFO death cult”, receive a mysterious videotape in the mail, they find an eerie calling card from their past inviting them back to attend an event called “The Ascension”.

Despite Justin’s initial apprehension, the two agree to return for one day. At first, their old cult friends seem warm and welcoming, but things soon begin to turn strange and the two brothers find themselves drawn ever more into a vortex of bizarre rituals, strange messages, unseeable forces and sinister supernatural secrets that threaten to tear apart the very fabric of reality.”
