The Endless is a 2017 American science fiction horror film directed, produced by and starring Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.

Co-starring Callie Hernandez, Tate Ellington, Lew Temple, and James Jordan, the film tells the story of two brothers (Benson and Moorhead) who visit an alleged cult to which they formerly belonged.

Brothers Justin and Aaron Smith receive a video cassette from Camp Arcadia, a group they belonged to as young children.

The two's recollection of events differ; while Aaron recalls them as a harmless and friendly commune, Justin thinks the group was a UFO death cult.

Fed up with their inability to make friends or find good jobs since leaving Camp Arcadia, Aaron and Justin decide to return for just one day.

As they partake in various activities, Aaron grows increasingly fond of the camp, and convinces Justin to stay an additional day.

Justin finds Aaron, and on their way back to the camp, the brothers pass various monoliths and structures depicting the entity as interpreted by different cultures.

He reasons that death at the hands of the entity (considered a sacred ritual by the cult) is better than a life of menial jobs and no friends.

The website's critical consensus reads, "The Endless benefits from its grounded approach to an increasingly bizarre story, elevated by believable performances by filmmakers Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.

[9] Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, stating, "If you have a good idea, a strong cast, a smart script, and directorial chops, you don't need a lot of money to make a compelling movie.
