Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead Investigate if ‘The Endless’ Death Cult is Real
Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson are absolutely phenomenal filmmakers and storytellers, which is why we were so excited to have them be part of our VHS Viral from last year. Whether you’re a fan of the film or not, they are the duo behind the awesome indies Resolution and Spring, the latter which is an incredible Lovecraftian genre film that debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Next up for the duo is The Endless, a new indie that they both star in and co-direct. While plot details were originally kepy under wraps, EW learned, “The film follows two brothers who return to the death cult from which they fled a decade ago, to find that there might be some truth to the group’s otherworldly beliefs.”
Also starring are Tate Ellington (Sinister 2), Callie Hernandez (Alien: Covenant), Lew Temple (31), James Jordan, Kira Powell, Emily Montague, Peter Cilella, Vinny Curran, Shane Brady, and Peter Cilella.
The film is produced by David Lawson with Thomas R. Burke and Leal Naim from Love & Death Productions, and Robert E. Pfaff and Frederick A Pfaff of Pfaff & Pfaff Productions. XYZ Films will be arranging distribution.
Spring composer Jimmy LaValle, from the solo musical project The Album Leaf, is scoring The Endless, adds the site.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
