  "account": "It Ends, the latest indie-horror-thriller, will be released in select theaters on August 21 and enters wide release on August 28. Written, directed, and edited by newcomer Alexander Ullom, the film follows a group of four friends on a car trip that quickly becomes an existential journey on a never-ending road. The song \"Road to Nowhere\" by Talking Heads serves as an apt metaphor for the film's theme, as the characters grapple with questions about their past, present, and future while trapped on this road to nowhere.",
  "summary": "It Ends, the latest indie-horror-thriller-that-could, is both creepy and amusing thanks to its likable cast and filmmaker Alexander Ullom’s ability to exploit minimal resources to maximum effect.",
