‘It Ends’ Is The Gen Z Horror Movie Of The Year

Curry Barker, a comedian and actor who has been in Hollywood for a few years now, was followed by Kane Parsons. The 26-year old Barker is an actor, sketch comedian and director. Obsession tells the story of meek romancer who uses magic novelty toys to get his crush to fall in love. Parsons is 21 years old and directed Backrooms. It’s a feature length adaptation of a creepypasta web series he created about an extradimensional labyrinth that acts as a strange simulacrum to the real world.
The two films, released in May just two weeks apart, broke several commercial records. Obsession, which has made half a billion dollars in revenue, is one of not only the top grossing films for the year but also one of most successful horror movies ever. Backrooms may be the only horror film to surpass Obsession in 2026 but it is also the 5th most lucrative independent feature ever. Parsons was the youngest director of a studio-backed movie, beating Orson Welles.
Baker and Parsons began their careers with YouTube videos, and this has led producers and agents to search the web for the next digital native filmmaker who already had a following, and whose story could become a hugely successful feature. This search continues, but a twentysomething internet-born filmmaker has just released It Ends. The film is a horror movie with an existentialist twist. Alexander Ullom is his name.
The journey of It Ends to the cinema has been a strange one. The film toured the festival circuit throughout 2025, before it was featured on Letterboxd’s VOD platform in December last year. Neon purchased the film’s rights a week after it was released, along with Ullom’s 4 X 4 : The Event. Neon did everything possible to make sure It Ends was a hit in theaters on August 21. On the poster, they highlighted a common producer with Backrooms and announced a Hands on a Hardbody challenge where teams of four competed to stay in the theatre for a marathon 36-hour screening of the movie. Cash incentives were offered to those who stayed. It’s not clear if anyone at Neon thought about how paying for people to see their movie might affect its perception.
The plot of It Ends is simple and Twilight Zone like: three recent graduates reconnect with an older friend during a late night drive, only to end up in a wooded road that never ends. As soon as they pull over, a mob of rabid thugs surrounds them, rushing into their car and attacking them, while simultaneously begging for assistance. The group gradually learns about the situation as they drive. The group learns that they can stop their car safely for 90 seconds until the mob arrives. During this time, not only are they able to stretch out their legs, but they also have the opportunity to search for clues. The occupants of the car wonder idly why they are trapped in traffic. It’s the afterlife. They are being punished. As they drive their Jeep Cherokee that never runs out gas, and has an engine that works longer than expected, the drivers do not feel hungry or tired. They decide to never turn the ignition off and get used to the life of the long road. They do, at least until they decide not to.
The film Before It Ends is a spooky, creepy thriller that introduces the zombie-like crowd and its short, tense jump scares. But it also enjoys an old-fashioned rhythm, with friends arguing. Fisher (Noah Toth), poses an meme-inspired question: Which two of the following would you choose to defend against the two others? Tyler, the HVAC technician driving the car (Mitchell Cole), disapproves the conversation. Day (Akira Jackson), and James (Phinehas Yoon), however, entertain it. You can train gorillas how to shoot a gun. Is it possible to kill a Hawk with just your hands? What is this “normal” adult with the gun? James jokes that “a Chinese man in a mine” is the culprit.
They realize that there is no exit. This long conversation with its ping-pong banter and overlaid dialogue serves a number of functions. It establishes character, and gives the film a cozy, but eerie tone. Ullom’s opening scene clearly hints at the film’s ultimate intention. It embodies generational fears while also offering a way out.
Ullom’s journey to It Ends is as convoluted as the winding roads of his film. Ullom spent much of his time after graduating Florida State University’s film school, during the Pandemic, online hustler for money. He wrote screenplays and memes, got paid for them, while also making sketches. He and Carrie Carusone, Evan Barber and their collaborators were trying to raise money for the first independent film they would make.
The initial $35,000.00 was raised by a collection of random investors. These included a magician who had a large fortune, an investor Ullom encountered in the VR poker room, and even a fan that left a comment about one of his videos on YouTube. Watch the first 10 minutes of the filmed Q&A to hear Ullom’s full story. He speaks with an uncomfortable rapid-fire style, pausing occasionally to apologize for the verbosity. He cast the main characters on Instagram and then used an LED volume screen to shoot the interiors of the cars in 2022. This was done after plasma cutting the Jeep Cherokee, and reassembling the vehicle inside this virtual space.
Ullom determined that the footage was emotionally and structurally insufficient. This is a natural by-product of filming a feature with a budget for a short. Eventually, he was able to secure funds from FSU graduates for post-production and pickups. He then attracted the attention of the production company Snoot Entertainment which helped facilitate the necessary reshoots.
Obsession, which also used a similar VP for car scenes, was not the only production to use reshoots and reworked certain parts. Ullom’s and his team’s spirit of tenacity shines through in the polished film. It embraces the minimalist style without losing tone or depth. It Ends is a film that, despite its strict formal constraints, invests a lot in Ullom’s hilarious, trenchant script and the largely unknown actors who sound and look like seasoned friends.
Ullom, who was inspired by Richard Linklater’s Slacker film, always wanted to make It Ends a more casual movie, where the characters would try to pass time or sort out the horror of their perpetual situation, which he never explained. Their chemistry, however, is continually recontextualized through the various ways in which they deal with the unchanging nature of their environment. This is exemplified by the repetitive and hypnotic road footage. Ullom told Filmmaker that he was more concerned with what happened after the terror. It’s not so much about the fight and how to overcome it as it is about figuring out what you can do about it.
The traditional horrors of the first act eventually change into a hum that spreads like a disease to the different characters. First major twist in film is a titlecard that says “Tyler”, followed by the mileage, which indicates the character refusing to get back into the car after a designated break. Tyler, the most self-assured and mature of the four men, privately informs James that his entire life cannot be lived in 90-second increments. Ullom does not treat Tyler’s choice as a defeatist admission, but instead as a difficult acceptance of reality. The audience knows what he is saying: the inside of a moving car looks as if it were standing still from some angles.
On the Calculation of Volume, a seven-volume series of speculative novels by Danish author Solvej Balle, chronicles the thoughts and movements of an antique book seller named Tara Selter who is stuck in one day. Tara is not bound by space or time, so she can start each new day anywhere, as long as it’s November 18 every morning. Tara, who had already established the rules for her universe by the time the book ended, now begins to control her surroundings by travelling around Europe in pursuit of different seasons.
Tara wonders how she can accept this situation. “I’m not sure I understand it, but that is what’s happening.” You can tolerate a great deal as long as the majority of your worries are not there. I am safe and have nothing to worry about. None of those things that we’ve learned to be afraid of: real-life catastrophes …”
Ullom brings to life the feelings that Balle portrays in It Ends with humor, but also with an understated sadness. The three passengers, after an undetermined amount of time has passed since Tyler left– “Way Later”, as the title card states– have devised a set of rituals that they use to commemorate their day. The three remaining passengers have devised a series of routines to mark their days. They decorate the vehicle with tchotchkes they found abandoned in other vehicles and air out all of their complaints on a set schedule. Day and Fisher have adapted to this new life by creating memes that mock their circumstances and practicing dance moves during their break time.
It Ends, conceived during the pandemic period, is a conversation between the mental isolation and the unoccupied space in the beginning days of COVID. The metaphors in the premise go beyond lockdown. Ullom explains in this same Filmmaker Interview that the concept of being trapped in a small space, on an endless highway with rigidly prescribed breaks is similar to the experience the group will have in today’s job market. All four characters, before they embark on their journey, discuss with quiet resignation the prospects of their careers. James, an entry-level engineering student, outlines a future that involves settling down in a boring Midwestern town with his partner of choice on a six figure salary. He does so with jaded boredom. James believes that his fate has already been decided and would rather be put into a medically-induced coma.
Obsession and backrooms are both popular among Gen Z. While this is not entirely due to sectarianism of a certain generation, they do seem to be able satisfy itch for the Gen Z audience. Obsession is a film that explores the nice guy entitlement to female affection, and how positive intentions are easily twisted into abuse. Backrooms, which is reminiscent of Jorge Luis Borges’s Library of Babel, but in a fluorescent-lit, uncanny office building. It evokes the relative security and abundance of a world of 20th century that only exist on faded photos or VHS tapes. The trend is for heteropessimistic angst and an inability to recreate a past idealized.
Barker and Parsons’ execution is lacking. Barker’s theme-driven attempt at criticizing misogyny and playing up the “crazy girlfriends” clichés to shock or make people laugh, depending on what scene it is, can seem like he wants both. The subtext of Backrooms is slightly more subtle, but it’s still largely confined to a pop psychology framework with some insipidly unrealistic monsters.
It Ends, on the other hand, is a powerfully allegorical work that allows multiple interpretations to be made. These can range from universal or generational. The film charts the post-graduation malaise, and how to make sense of aimlessness, in a manner that is familiar to those who have ever wondered, “What next?” It also addresses this group of young people who are stuck in neutral as their surroundings either attack them, or wear them out. Ullom’s 25 New Faces of Films profile cites the latent attitude of his film as “Gen Z graduates into a dying nation where there is no moral system or values.” He continues: “The future is no longer guaranteed, nor are nuclear families. So enter the world, form your own values, and best of luck.”
The main character of If It Ends is James. His cold exterior hides his unwillingness to accept that the path they are on doesn’t have any inherent meaning. James treats every new bit of information as a possible skeleton-key to escape their nightmare. He views their current situation as a puzzle that must be solved. James lashes out and makes a prayer to the road to get the car back to normal after Day and Fisher take the keys off the ignition. Even the rationalists in the group are forced to believe in unseeable things by the universe.
Ullom says It Ends was born out of a difficult mental health period that was marked by “ego death,” “a state prolonged dissociative depressive disorder” and a “juvenile argument between him and his friends at the age of 18.” This was when everything came into sharp focus. He says, “I wanted a reason for me to stay around, and in that moment I just thought, “I’m going to hang around to chat with people. Conversation is the one time when I am actually there.”

MS NOW Anchor Breaks Down in Emotional Final Sign-Off

Alex Witt, a veteran MS NOW host who has been with the network for almost 30 years, broke down into tears in an emotional goodbye after signing off.
Alex Witt Reports is a three-hour afternoon program that Witt launched in 2011 after joining the network as a 65 year old in 1999. In her long career, Witt covered everything from the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Afghanistan to the 9/11 terror attacks, COVID-19 and royal weddings, as well as Hurricane Katrina.
According to Variety, Witt will host various daytime programs for the remainder of the year. Her weekend time slot will now be taken by The Assignment, hosted by Antonia Hylton, starting next Saturday. Hylton, a former NBC journalist, called Witt a legend and “the Mayor of MS NOW”.
On Sunday during her last show, guests and panelists paid their respects to Witt. She said at one stage, “Let’s get on with it before I cry, today I am wearing waterproof mascara.”
The host said: “Let’s move on to our final moments, as there’s an awesome line in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off that says, ‘Life is pretty fast.'” You could miss something if you never stop to look around.
She continued, “With that in mind I would like to take some time with you all to reflect on the stories and the people that have allowed me to cover, in most cases, the rough version of history over the past 27 years.”
Witt began crying as she expressed her gratitude to Nick Kovijanic, her executive producer of “forever”.
The host, fighting back tears, said “Oooh I knew this would be difficult to achieve.” As producers displayed a picture of Witt and Kovijanic as she spoke on the screen, You’re a champion, Nick. You have fought on my behalf, for this show, and our team… you’ve always been there to steer me through this. “I promise to continue looking in that direction.”
She then invited the “her village”, which she called the crew, to the MS NOW studio to be with her.
A visibly emotional Witt concluded the program by saying, “It’s been a great privilege earning your trust in delivering news.” Thank you for being loyal and keeping me in the anchor chair doing what I love all these years. “Thank you.”
Her daughter Caroline and son Charlie were also thanked for their “understanding and embracing the various ways that my weekend hours affected you.” “I’ll always be proud of you both, and I love you until the end of my days.”

Zoe Is The Manhunter

In this week’s episode of “Lanterns,” we learn the identity of the Manhunter. This doesn’t mean that our brave Green Lanterns and Green Interns are any closer to capturing the intergalactic antagonist. What a painful journey they have to take in order to reach that epiphany!
John’s nudity is a big draw for Will. Meanwhile, Hal and the Guardians get more aggressive with their plan to replace him. Yep. Here are the highlights from Episode 4.
After last week’s flashback, we go back to 2016 and Hal’s trip to Sinestro. Hal, demoralized by his experience with John’s death, admits that John was indeed Hal’s backup. Sinestro tells Hal he will have to kill John. Hal immediately refutes this idea, “because I am not evil.” Hal is about to fly when Sinestro offers some valuable information regarding the unique characteristics of Manhunters, which do not change even when they shapeshift. He warns Hal to not make the same mistakes with John as Hal made with Sinestro.
John returns to Rushville and buys a scope for his rifle. He then climbs up a tower of water to see Will’s land. Hal soon joins John. John believes that a helicopter arrives at the compound every day around the same time, and that there is a secret structure hidden on the property. The men discuss the Manhunter and come to the conclusion that it is Will Macon’s mysterious donor. John tells the sheriff that there is an interplanetary war-criminal hiding in Rushville, and the technical term for him is “Manhunter”. They also warn her to call John before the deadline. She claims she doesn’t really know who the Manhunter is, but that she will join in if John does not call by the deadline. Alien’s are about to destroy my city. “Finding him will stop the aliens, right?” She asks. She agrees when Hal replies “probably” — but warns that they only have a single shot.
They go to the hotel to pass some time. Laura Guardianney shows up in John’s bedroom because he did not check-in with her. Laura Guardianney tells John that Hal was not having space sex as he claimed: He was instead “violating” his oath by seeing Sinestro. She announces that Jordan’s actions “have accelerated the inevitable” and orders John to recitiate the Green Lantern Oath when Hal hands him the Ring during training. John will become the Lantern of Sector 2814 when he says these words.
John balks a little, and the Guardian instantly switches into “I-should’ve-known-you-were-as-weak-as-your-dad” guilt-trip mode. Hal had criticized John for being uncreative and weak in his reports. John says, “He’s too old and tired and his time’s up.” He adds that Hal did not work hard for the position, but he has. The ring has always belonged to me. “That a**hole is just keeping warm.” The Guardian seems pleased. She says, “Then get it John Stewart” before she disappears.
John then knocks at Hal’s front door. He suggests that they tunnel into the compound and gives Hal a map he drew. Hal is amazed. “Yeah,” John deadpans, “I’m creative.”
Hal gives John the drill and a ring that night outside Macon’s house. John doesn’t say the oath. They talk while the machine is working about Hal’s mother dying of cancer and how his father “fearless” — or at least that was what he wanted others to believe. As they make their way into a building full of high-tech weapons and Hal asks for his ring, Hal accidentally triggers a pressure sensor. This activates Macon’s soldiers, who enter the building and deploy black smoke, rendering Hal and John blind and inactivating the ring. The pair are captured.
The ring was placed on Will Macon’s desk. Will tells Zoe that John was an artist, in one of the greatest non-sequiturs ever. Will, upon hearing John’s confirmation that John is an artist, drops his robe and requests John to sketch him naked. Hal says, “I have seen some sh*t. I’ve been on a planet that has sentient tentacles.” This is strange, yes? John nods. “Yeah.” (HA!)
Will tells Zoe to stay. He knows for sure that John and Zoe slept together. Will tells Hal that he shouldn’t be worried unless Lanterns plan to attack Hal’s boss. This mystery man: is he really a boss? Benefactor? Savior? Will answers yes to everything above because the person in question has cured him of cancer. He and Zoe actually met because she was his nurse. Hal says, “Now that you mention him as if he were a God,” “I do, don’t I?” Will speaks.
In exchange for his protection, he explains that this is why the town has been doing well. “Crops grow, children thrive and the hospital was empty. Hal is refusing to go, but Will insists. Will threatens to kill John, and then asks Kerry to hide her package. She arrests Hal, John, and Hal for trespass. Will gives her the sketch and the ring as she leaves.
Kerry tells the group that they wasted their only chance and says Zoe had alerted them to what was happening. Kerry yells, then tells them that they’re close to discovering the identity of Will’s benefactor. They should stop being stupid and instead wait until she commands. She gives John the gun because Will will surely send his henchmen. Hal, what about him? She mocksly says that he can defend himself using his “superhero abilities”.
Zoe is the one who shows up in John’s bedroom. Macon sent you? He asks with a gun aimed at her chest. She claims she arrived on her own. He kisses her and lowers his weapon. In the aftermath, it gets very hot, and she laughs about how “it was better not in my truck.” He says that everyone, including Hal and her, is probably lying to him. She says, “It’s amazing how everything changes when I share what I know with you.” I can’t. He refuses to go. She leaves the motel and, as she pulls her truck away, a beam of red light from above shatters the molecules in the car.
Hal is immediately on scene. He flies up and grabs the weaponized Satellite, bringing it to the Parking Lot. He then creates a huge, green protective bubble to surround the entire structure. John believes that this is a too simple solution. The satellite belonged to Hector Hammond’s company, which owns a slaughterhouse nearby. Hal, who is driving them to the slaughterhouse asks John how he’s doing after his last hookup was vaporized. The younger man replies, “I am handling it.” Hal says that death comes with the job and that Hal should avoid “real relationships” from now on. For their safety, keep people away. “Lonely, f**king job.”
After that depressing feeling, they walk into an ultra-high-tech building where the employees don’t even seem to be aware of their presence — when addressed directly. John and Hal arrive at Hammond’s desk, where the man asks for John’s address. He then threatens to destroy it if John is not still alive by the end of the encounter. Hector claims to have heard all their discussions at the motel and replays John’s conversation with the Guardian for everyone present. Awkward!
Hal does not believe Hammond when he says that he is the Manhunter. Hal asks Hammond to tell him what colour Abin Sur is. He explains that Abin, the pilot of Hal’s ring who brought Hammond back on Earth after he died and gave Hal Hal’s ring was Abin. Hammond says he doesn’t remember. Hal refers to him as a “smokescreen, or a decoy.” Hal uses the information Sinestro provided about Manhunter heart flaws (which are undetectable when they’re alive but crystallize once dead) to scare him into confessing that he is human. Hal makes Hammond stop counting down to blowing the Stewart home up. They then discover that Hector Hammond was really Hector Gutierrez. The Manhunter had offered him tech in return for a false front to aid his family and community. Hammond replies, “Isn’t it obvious?” when Hal asks who the Manhunter really is. Will Macon.
John is irritated when he tells Hal in the car that he’s going to return the ring and that he hasn’t taken the oath. Hal is a lot less angry when he says “Honestly, I’d have done the same thing.” John was expecting him to be. Hal acknowledges that visiting Sinestro was a breach of vow, but John should not believe what the Guardians say. John then says that the Manhunter is Will Macon as Hector had claimed. Hal instructs John to contact Antaan’s hit squad, and arrange for them to meet him in the café. John follows Hal’s instructions.
Hal replies a few moments later, “I truly did forgive you.” I thought you would be honest.” Hal recalls asking John why he wasn’t upset more about Zoe and thinking he was a stoney guy. But when he noticed how passionate he became at the thought of losing his parents, he understood. You’re not upset, because you’re aware that Zoe’s alive. It’s not clear to me how she got out, unless it’s because she is a Manhunter. “I can’t tell how long you have known me.”
John does not deny the truth, but says that he was not sure if Zoe is what they were hunting. He adds, “I had a gut feeling.” He apologizes for calling Hal old and exhausted.
Hal looks at him, and then says, “I am sorry for the rental.” He laughs and jumps from the car. It crashes into a post moments later.
It’s now your turn. What do you think about the episode? Comment in the comment section!
