I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Brilliantly crafted, thrilling, and thought provoking,It contains an interesting message: beware of religious fanatics, beware of those zealous followers of the occult, who kill in the name of their divine. The movie can definitely be regarded as an allegory about the church, judging from the cross-shaped weapons used by the religious group.The core of the movie is smartly wrapped in gory graphics and an intense story. Stabbing, decapitating, cutting a baby out of a pregnant woman... all those scenes are literally bloody powerful.The end of the movie is quite intriguing. From every religious fanatic's body, a demon crept out in the style of ALIEN. Beautiful! Devil's inside every religious fanatic.

... that's the nature/character of this horrorThe film is more than pleased than disappointed. Total time of film tape is 1 hour 34 minutes 42 seconds, which is the topic (not pulled the rubber ...) Sometimes even very not for the faint of heart, there is a terrible, bloody moments that may affect the psyche, especially if the viewer is not enough experience in the genre of horror. The only pity is that the basis of all the terrible events closely involved some sick in the head believing that the Bible does not even read, filled with heresy and stupid statements that contradict the very belief in God. Although they can then believe in the scenario of some other god... It is expected that I see a bunch of nonsense and stupidity, but here it is almost there. There are some flaws in the script is not insignificant. The basic idea may seem silly at first glance. But it primarily makes the original horror film of all others. And it's not important enough. Then the story of its dynamism and bloody gloomy atmosphere able to drive the viewer into the troubled state of fear that more is based on an internal alarm. Not too terrible fear, but enough to feel all the gloom of the situation and the circumstances of which were the main characters. In general, the plot is rather weak, but keeps at a viewing; and rather grim situation, his ability to subtly impress the viewer. Also liked the musical additions episodes. Features highlight the music, which is very clearly complements all the gloomy atmosphere at the time when the two young men talking to each other, while the tape - 00: 50: 07-1: 00: 57. The music is very grim in the topic - an obvious plus that adds eeriness film and the situation in which they find themselves. A lot of flaws, but the low-budget movie. Realization of this film is not sufficient, pretty weak. But it is not enough to not be able to feel or get his share of horror. Especially if in the film there is such gloomy atmosphere ...gloomy, creepy, dark, ominous ... that is the nature/character of this horror movie

I'm a sucker for horror movies and watch about every one I can get near of. That usually leads to a lot of bad movie-watching. So I consider myself fairly educated in the ways of horror movies.This movie was such a surprise to me. I had expected the typical people-going-crazy formula, but I found that there was more than that. It was interesting because of the religious reason for the craziness. I have a degree in religious studies and I found this formula very accurate.Another great thing about this movie is that you feel sympathy with all the "good" characters and really hope that everyone gets out alive. Even through we all know that this rarely happens in horror movies.The movie's atmosphere makes the movie work very well. No, it's not the world's greatest script and the direction is surely not perfect, men it works and is entertaining until the very end.I really recommend this film to every horror fan.

Maurice Devereaux's End of the Line possesses the kind of raw ambition that reminds me of why I love horror films in the first place. It's an original and highly imaginative effort, even more so when you realize the director had to finance the film out of his own pocket. It hasn't received too much attention, but I think it's a low budget treat that deserves to be seen. That, combined with certain story aspects that are ripe for discussion, has led me to recommend this to many people since my initial viewing.Taking place in a subway, the story involves several members of a large religious cult who simultaneously receive notice via pagers that it's Judgment Day. This gives them the go ahead to bring out their special daggers and "save" all the nonbelievers by way of murder. Karen (Ilona Elkin) is a psychiatric nurse who gets caught up in the mayhem when her ride home from work turns into a fight for survival. I bought the Canadian DVD blindly back in November 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed the film. The director's prior effort, Slashers, was a most cheesy affair. This, on the other hand, is quite serious. The film can be rather unnerving, especially if you find fanatical cult members to be disturbing sorts. I'm a big fan of religion themed horror in general. Throw in apocalyptic scenarios and you have my attention entirely.I didn't catch it the first time around, but note the emphasis on muffins throughout the film. It has been theorized that perhaps something in the muffins was causing hallucinations, thus setting everything into motion. This theory seems to receive further support if you watch the beginning of the film carefully. There's a telling scar on Karen's shoulder. Little things like this, which I didn't even catch onto until I'd read other opinions on the film, are elements that I greatly appreciate when it comes to filmmaking. Hints that keep you guessing, but don't beat you over the head... these really enrich the viewing experience.As far as the ending is concerned, I think it goes out on a particularly strong note. The earlier conversation about smiling in the face of proof comes to mind, but the final image still feels like a punch in the gut. The strength of the finale is carried over into the end credits thanks to the eerie song which plays over them. Say what you will, but this piece of music strikes a chord with me. It's flat-out haunting, yet beautiful at the same time. I'm glad the DVD included the full soundtrack as an extra, as it's nice being able to listen to it on it's own.End of the Line is not a perfect film. There is some poor acting which stands out a bit more on repeat viewings, the bald maintenance worker being the worst offender. Some of the gore and attack sequences aren't as well staged as I'd like either. Regardless, I feel that the film rises above a few spotty performances and low budget pitfalls. Far above. Devereaux has done the genre proud.
