  "account": "It Ends is a horror film that taps into the sense of futility felt by a younger generation. The film follows four friends who are driven by a GPS system to a road that seemingly has no end. They are unable to stop and solve their problems, as they are surrounded by violent strangers. The characters are emotionally drained, with none of their basic human desires intact. They are unable to eat, sleep, or experience sexuality. The film explores the idea that despite their lack of hope, they still have a car to rely on. The characters' emotional states reflect the monotony and despair they face on their journey. The film's message is that life may feel pointless, but at least the horror movies are great.",
