Night's End is a clear Covid project about a shut in who communicates with concerned friends via Skype. Our lead is played quite well by Geno Walker. He is a depressed, down on his luck man living by himself trying to start a YouTube channel about being divorced, yard work and more. When spooky happenings occur in his apartment he gets noticed and has to push the envelope.
The film is is fairly slow paced but had me interested enough to know what was happening. Problem is that the script doesn't have anywhere to go other than predictable places you expect. You will call the ending with plenty of time to spare.
The acting outside of our main character in the last 20 minutes of the movie is among the worst I have seen in a long time. There are "scary" parts that got an audible laugh out of me and one character screams like he was auditioning for Trolls 2.
Also the restrained budget this movie clearly has also is a big problem. You kind of know what WON'T happen because it would cost too much money. I also think this is an issue for the performances as it almost feels rushed.
So a weak script , no money and bad performances come together to make one of the worst endings in a horror film this year. This is definitely a skip.
