It Ends

IT ENDS premiered at SXSW 2026, and is the debut feature from Alex Ullom (who wrote, directed, and edited the film). It follows a friend group of graduates who go on a late night drive, but accidentally turn onto a never-ending, two-lane hellscape surrounded by -untold horrors and cosmic forces beyond their understanding. Ostensibly a very contemporary, Gen-Z take on Jean-Paul Sartre‘s influential 1944 existentialist play “No Exit.” With Phinehas Yoon, Akira Jackson, Noah Toth and Mitchell Cole.

“Anchored by four genuinely engaging performances and a concept that understands the benefit of not over-explaining itself.” (Roger Ebert.com)

“Writer/Director Alexander Ullom nestles an existential crisis within his genre-bending road trip thriller in his feature debut. What begins as an intense horror movie settles into a meditative rhythm for an inventive slice-of-life metaphor.” (Bloody Disgusting)
