End of the Line, 2007

Well, this was an absolute treat. Not only did we have special guests (Sarah and Marcus) but this was a quality horror! Very early on there is an extremely scary moment where all 4 of leapt out of our seats. To be fair, the boys managed to just be quietly surprised but Sar and I actually screamed out loud and nearly poured our drinks all over the sofa! If you are religious, this will be doubly scary as it's basically about a religious group who have been ordered to 'save' everyone before the end of the world. There is a very, very scary old lady who does some unthinkably nasty things but all the time has this manic grin as she sings her religious songs – very distrubing. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

SECOND OPINION: This film does not tread lightly. This film does not pull it's punches and will leave you feeling sickened more than once. It's all set in a subway, which as we learned in The Midnight Meat Train, can be a very dangerous and scary place. This particular night, all the members of a religious cult have been summoned to rise up and kill the innocents before the world ends. As Rachel says, the creepy thing is, the cultists are happy about their job, since they believe they're saving people. Brutally murdering with a cheery hymn and a smile is not something you'll forget in a hurry.

Turns out, the most shocking thing in the movie (and it's the most shocking thing I've seen in a horror film) has a strong, moral justification by the end of the film. I raised this point with our guests but they held to the opinion that it was sick, regardless. Ah well. The conversation, however, went something like this...

"Did you enjoy it?"

"God no! It was terrifying!"

"So will you be joining us for Friday Horror Night again?"

"Oh yes, absolutely!!!"
