Night's End debuts on Shudder on March 31.
While Night's End is a significant departure from director Jennifer Reeder's acclaimed 2019 neo-noir Knives and Skin, it's still a sound paranormal thriller. Knives and Skin oozes rebellious neon styles while Night's End plays by the book in terms of supernatural storytelling of housebound ghost tales — it becomes evident in a matter of minutes that Reeder's directing someone else's script. Writer Brett Neveu imagines haunted-house cinema in a more populated renter's environment by adhering to all the no-no rules of horror characters summoning evil. Reeder, meanwhile, is here to guide audiences through that vision step by step, which gets the job done. It's nothing revolutionary, but shows a steady hand from Reeder. And as someone who's ever-curious about how horror will continue to evolve with technology, Night's End scratches that itch of livestream nightmares and the stupidity of click-seekers.
Geno Walker stars as "anxious shut-in" Ken Barber, which is the film's workaround as a pandemic project with minimal cast interactions. Ken lost his family, lives alone, and only engages with companions Terry (Felonious Munk) and Kelsey (Kate Arrington) — and Kelsey's husband Isaac, played by Michael Shannon — via Zoom chats. Otherwise, Walker is by himself in most scenes as Isaac starts a YouTube channel and tries to become famous by engaging with uber-popular user Dark Corners (Daniel Kyri) and their haunting compilation videos. That's when Ken starts interacting with occult specialist Colin Albertson (Lawrence Grimm) and breaks every horror movie bylaw, from reading Latin passages aloud to using ritualistic objects with strange markings.
Night's End is somewhat predictable as Ken investigates the gruesome history of his apartment, complete with a previous murderous tenant. What starts with an odd occurrence as an object falls off Ken's wall in the background of one of his vlogs becomes a haunted-house exploration in tighter corners. Ken researches the "Wellwoods" and tries to learn what spirits could be inhabiting his domain, as Kelsey and Terry urge him to get popular enough to score a crossover segment with Dark Corners. There's nothing unexpected here for horror fans, but Reeder's direction keeps the intricacies of Night's End moving forward at a fine clip.

At Night's End's best, director Jennifer Reeder is able to brighten Ken's apartment routine with warm pink lighting and be more than just another coming-of-middle-age story with apparitions. At its worst, Night's End exists as an easily digestible if less filling menu option for horror fans. Geno Walker delivers a strong-enough leading performance ...
