Karen, a young psychiatric nurse, boards the last subway train of the night only to have it stop in the middle of the tunnel. Suddenly, her nightmare begins: a mysterious cult has decided that it's the end of the world and the only way to save the souls of the living is to kill them in cold blood. As those around her are brutally murdered, Karen and a handful of survivors must face the homicidal cult, supernatural forces and their own fears of Armageddon in order to survive.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
nysalesman100-1 OMG, I watched this movie because of all the good reviews. Are you guys kidding me? How could you give this anymore than one star? I mean, really? Did you swap some of those little white pills before you wrote those reviews? If so, what the hell was in them?Here's the deal. First it's cheaply made and could have some good thrills if the story bothered to make any sense and it wasn't so darn predictable. Also, I'm tired of these whacko film makers dragging Christians into their cultist films. If you look at all the crazy cults (many of which the Hollywood types subscribe) they are all new age cults. Never has a Christian church (even the whacko ones) ever made their members commit murder or suicide. The morons that wrote this obviously didn't bother to do some basic research. According to the story the Apocalypse is among us and the Christian whacko cult is killing every non-member to save their souls because the devil will rise them up as demons. I have a novel idea, how about at least reading the book of Apocalypse in the bible before doing a movie about it? If they bothered to spend five-minutes reading the very text of which their film is based, then they would have known that it's not the devil that rises the dead but God, and he does it so they can be judged. Nowhere are any of the dead ever risen as demons. For argument sake, lets say the writer was clever and the movie is based on more of a comic book universe with a different bible and different set of rules. Quite honestly I know the film makers aren't' that clever because I saw their piece of crap of a film, but hey, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. So, at the end demons arise from the dead but I thought I saw one climb out of a dead Christian cult body. So, what the heck? Were the Christian cultists the ones who weren't saved or did the demons come from the people they killed? You never know because the film doesn't make it clear. Overall, the movie sucked. Regardless, I'm really sick of theses film makers portraying Christianity and the bible so inaccurately that those that aren't Christian tend to think that these are really our beliefs.
chubbygayguy During most of the movie I was thinking "I hope things improve" and they did, but only slightly.I watched this on "The Chiller" network, and based on other reviews I think there must have been quite a bit cut out. Though the gore was as much as a "R" rated movies gets here in the states and the curse words were bleeped, but seems maybe some of the story was deleted as I did not get the ending until I read some of the reviews. Which honestly made me enjoy the movie slightly more.Not sure if I have included a spoiler or not, but if you like horror movies, you might want to watch this with a group of friends so you can discuss the ending. The acting is mostly horrible and plotting seems awfully confusing at times. But I give it an average rating, which is up two stars after I read the other reviews. nice attempt just not clear enough for me. And I generally do not need things spelled out, but this was just not enough for me. :-)
Cujo108 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.
fedor8 The End of the Cocaine Line that this film's crew shared must have been endless. The film itself felt that way too. (The following is not so much a review as it is a Public Service Announcement. Don't worry about the spoilers: you will not watch this baloney anyway.) Horror fans everywhere, if you wish to salvage whatever little there might be left of your dignity, then avoid this 101 Subway Killers rubbish at all cost. Show some self-respect, frcrissakes, i.e. don't end up like the unconvincing quasi-zombies in EOTL - or their counterparts: the sad creatures who wrote lofty reviews about this mega-turd. I suspect those people must belong to some sort of B-movie cult... Have you prepared your pills? Their own little Armageddon is probably triggered by the release of "EOTL: Part 2".Already during the first couple of minutes, I could sense that pungent stench that leaks out of botched, messy scripts, that odor that reeks of moronic dialogue, dirt-dumb "plot-twists" and practically non-existent characterization. Almost nothing anyone says or does here has an iota of logic, consistency or intelligence.The asinine director promises us demons at the outset, but gives us unconvincing religious fanatics instead, played by rank amateurs who probably mistook this for a horror comedy. When the demons finally make their first appearance - in the last scene - we find out that they're merely greenish Gollums in jump-suits. And what horrible, nightmarish things do they do to their helpless human victims? Well, they wave their arms around like a bunch of desperate, unemployed mimes. Pretty harmless, really. So the Armageddon basically just consists of silly, bald mutants going "boo" in the night?... Nothing to worry about then.Jack Nicholson and the Kubrick estate ought to sue these dilettantes: scenes shamelessly ripped off from "The Shining" abound. The most obvious example is the granny telling the survivors to open the door. The other non-shiny "Shining" moments are offered to us by the desperately unfunny blond killer/rapist. It was an embarrassment to watch. I don't just want my money back, I want at least half of EOTL's reels shoved down the director's alcoholic throat.So... this little sect numbers in the millions, huh... And yet somehow they manage to hide their all-encompassing plans of murder and mayhem from everyone else. Interesting. I never realized that mass-conspiracies could be that easy. Child's play, really.Some of the dumbest, most irrational horror-film survivors infest this garbage. A loon attacks one of them with a knife, yet as soon as the guy starts defending himself, the others stop him - and then proceed to check on the attacker's health! (This was not meant to be funny, believe it or not.) Just one of countless moments of unbridled idiocy.How did the black guy know about the beepers? Just because we (the poor viewers) knew about them doesn't mean that every single character can know what WE know. Duh... Script-writing right out of the kindergarten.You WILL make your fast-forward button bleed.
