During the last two years, isolation and its many horrors have haunted everyone. Naturally, genre filmmakers are best equipped to see the creative potential in pandemic fears — and its limitations. In her latest feature, prolific horror auteur Jennifer Reeder makes mighty use of both, crafting an inventive ghost story for the video call era. Arriving at a dramatically zany conclusion, “Night’s End” follows the unraveling of an aimless divorcé through his misguided attempts at establishing a YouTube presence. Taking place entirely within the confines of his dreary bachelor pad, Though the film falters under the confines of a small budget and Covid-safe crews, thanks to Reeder’s ingenuity and love of classic horror, she strong arms it over the finish line to an enjoyably wacky finale.

A last minute addition to Frightfest’s 2022 Glasgow Film Festival line-up and now available on Shudder, Night’s End is an occult thriller with a heavy dose of humour. It centres on Ken (Geno Walker), an agoraphobic alcoholic who is trying to get his life back together and start his own YouTube channel providing marketing tips. When a stuffed bird falls off a shelf behind him during an online conversation with a friend, Ken recounts a story about his flat being haunted, and the friend suggests that there’s a much bigger audience interested in that – but turning to an exorcist to address the situation leads to danger. It’s the latest work by Jennifer Reeder, whom I spoke to previously about her festival hit Knives And Skin, so I reconnected with her to discuss it and began by asking about the...

Do you ever just want the night to end, but the night’s end seems to never come? This is the epitome of Jennifer Reeder’s apt Night’s End. The Knives and Skin director, with writer Brett Neveu, craft a film about one man’s horrific night. But what is, at first, a frightening, introspective, and isolated ghost story, takes an unfortunate nose dive. The audience is suddenly content and relieved at the night’s end, more so than even the protagonist.
A horror film needs to nail the atmosphere, and Reeder nails that spookiness immediately as she directs Christopher Rejano’s camera to move slowly towards a door. Like a spirit floating just above the ground and lingering outside in the hopes of being let in. It creaks as it opens into a dimly lit, newly occupied apartment. The unemployed divorced father who lives there, Ken (Geno Walker), is found counting down from 10. Then,...

About halfway through director Jennifer Reeder and writer Brett Neveu’s Night’s End, a character explains to Ken Barber (Geno Walker) that the ghost haunting his apartment may in fact be haunted herself. Colin Albertson (Lawrence Grimm), the occult author whose book inspired Ken to create a “spirit jar” in hopes of exorcising his unwanted guest, details research into the ghost’s identity which would point to her own mother becoming a demonic presence desperate to torture her child’s trapped soul in a “ghost loop.” While that’s a whole lot of over-the-top nonsense on its surface, the act itself proves a metaphorical interpretation of Ken’s own destructive cycle. His divorced father moved cities for a fresh start only to find himself suffering from a reclusive lifestyle of fear and regret.

Jennifer Reeder, director of the highly-regarded Knives + Skin, is back behind the camera for Night’s End, a film that feels very apt given the past few years – featuring a character who spends his time online, working from home (aren’t we all?). With the film’s plot playing out in a series of Zoom-like calls, given the lead characters apparent agoraphobia.
The film tells the story of Ken Barber, an anxious shut-in, who moves into a new apartment. He spends his time making self-help YouTube videos and experimenting in amateur taxidermy. However, Ken’s life is turned upside down by the apparent haunting of his new home. Eventually he contacts Colin Albertson, a paranormal author, to perform an exorcism which quickly takes a horrific turn…...

People often make comparisons between Jennifer Reeder’s work and that of David Lynch, and when they do so, they usually go on to talk about characters or setting. There’s a particular kind of slow tracking shot, however, at which both those directors excel, whilst others struggle in vain to capture it. It’s used at key points in this film, inside a shared building, creeping up towards the door of a flat. A simple enough movement, but it will send a shudder down your spine.
Ken (Geno Walker) hasn’t left the flat for some time. We learn from his online conversations with his friends and his ex-wife Kelsey (Kate Arrington) that he has become agoraphobic; he has also had a serious drinking problem and has struggled to cope with many aspects of day to day life. He’s trying to get back on track now, making arrangements...

Jennifer Reeder is an artist and filmmaker who received an Mfa from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Reeder wrote and directed Knives and Skin (2019), a surreal murder mystery about a missing teenager, which is reminiscent of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. Her films tend to have a focus on themes of trauma, relationships, and coping mechanisms. Her new horror film, Night’s End, tells the story of a haunting and is a compelling exploration of mental illness and isolation. The film stars Geno Walker as Ken Barber, who is divorced and living alone in an apartment. He never leaves the house and frequently talks with his ex-wife and his best friend on video chat. Ken follows a strict routine and has some unusual hobbies, which he hopes will help him control his severe anxiety and insomnia. When he begins to believe he is being haunted by the spirit...

Jennifer Reeder’s bonafides as a horror director — particularly one attuned to the terrifying travails of the female teenage experience, a la her breakout “Knives and Skin” — are unimpeachable, but she’s never been eager to do the same thing twice. When it came time to tackle her next feature film, Reeder was searching for something new, and a little scary: putting her own stamp on a story about not just a man, but the kind of man too often unable to express his own fears.
In the Shudder-produced “Night’s End,” written by Brett Neveu, Reeder found exactly what she was looking for, a fresh injection of perspective and theme that the genre needs now.
“I had been looking for a script with an adult male as a lead, partially because I had an idea of what I could do through a kind of feminist lens with a particular kind of male lead,...

"It's really happening. None of it is fake." Shudder has unveiled the official trailer for an indie horror film titled Night's End, the latest from director Jennifer Reeder. It's playing on Shudder at the end of March. An anxious shut-in moves into a haunted apartment, hiring a stranger to perform an exorcism which quickly takes a horrific turn. Pretty vague description. This seems to be another pandemic thriller, focusing on one man alone in his apartment while everyone else connects with him digitally. A realistic take on Zoom horror with "what if this was really happening to him?" The film stars Geno Walker, with Michael Shannon, Kate Arrington, Daniel Kyri, Theo Germaine, Lawrence Grimm, Morgan S. Reesh, and also Felonious Munk. This looks quite creepy! Some nice horror vibes. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Jennifer Reeder's Night's End, direct from YouTube: In Night's End, an anxious shut-in...
