Well, Reviews here are all raving which always makes me very cautious but "End of the line" definitely is not a stinker. To put a major spoiler ahead... If you throw the basic idea of "Believers", the creepy subway setting of "Midnight meat train" and some maniac killer cult plus some demon creatures in a blender you are sure to get very close to this movie. Most of "End of the line" is build on slow suspense starting with some mysterious suicides and hallucinations, then a bunch of people getting stranded in a stopped subway with some lunatic Armageddon cult and of course then everybody running from the nice Christians trying to save their souls with some pretty ugly crucifix-daggers. The setting in the dark subway tunnels works fine, the cult and its belief are unveiled slowly and for my taste way overacted and the gore is minimal, yet this is far more a horror movie than "Believers". And here comes the little problem... the effects are bad! Someone here stated that the FX are way better than in "Midnight meat train" which to me was visually stunning while this one has bad blood splatter (although no fake CGI like in MMT) and finally some really bad creature Effects.

I liked the movie for its slow pacing and the cold dark realization in the end. But compared to "Believers" this one falls flat because of the fake acting of the cult members and the cheesy creature FX in the finale. This moment of realization should be the ultimate horror of "everything you know is wrong" and is destroyed by some ridiculous demons that look like in a theater play with red light bulbs in their eyes.

So really... whoever compares the obviously tight budget FX of "End of the line" with Kitamuras impressive gore FX and high class cinematography in Midnight Meat train must be high. The movie is way too serious for such trashy acting and FX and suffers from an equally cheesy and semi-funny feeling like Maurice Devereaux' previous movie "Slashers". I have seen far worse but "End of the line" barely manages to reach an average level.

I really want to see what Maurice Devereaux will come up with in the future. He's got a lot of great ideas in this film and I'd like to see what he's capable of with a good set of actors and a decent budget. I really enjoyed this; it's got so much heart and does all the right things but, as it stands, it falls a bit short of its potential. It's a great low-budget horror film but it tries to be more than that and doesn't quite make it.

The storyline and plot are both excellent and, while not wholly original, are miles ahead of the cookie cutter garbage that passes for "horror" these days. This is definitely a "horror" film in every sense of the word - plenty of scares, a supernatural undercurrent, impending doom and a strong religious theme. A special note should be given to the atmosphere in this film. Even with low production values, the director created an apocalyptic world that felt like it was closing in on you. The results are pretty horrifying.

Basically, a group of people on a late night subway train find themselves stranded when the power goes out. As the passengers wait, a prominent cult leader contacts his followers and tells them that the rapture is imminent. He orders them to "save" (translation: kill with crucifix daggers and sabres) all the non-believers around them.

Many cultists are on the train and begin slaying people but a group of passengers manage to get away and find refuge in a nearby service point. Cell phones, radios and TVs are all of no use and we find out later that the cult leader has taken over a TV station and is broadcasting the mayhem going on in the city and around the world.

From the start there are scenes that are designed to make you jump and lots of strange occurrences that begin to make sense as the movie progresses. Unless you're really perceptive, I doubt you'll get everything on a first viewing, probably because you'll be busy trying not to sh!t your pants during the first 15 minutes.

All this mystery would be fine if this was a more straightforward movie but I still had questions after watching it a second time. Not major questions just little things that nag me as I write this review. The ending was good, though, and I think I got it. The director did say that he wanted to leave it open so that people would discuss the movie and he definitely succeeded.

If you can put up with the amateur acting and are willing to invest some thought into it, this is a great little horror movie.

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. :-)
