This keeps it vague enough that you continue to ask yourself that question throughout, right up until the great ending. "End of the Line" is a triumph for the genre.

It goes into themes about faith(without it saying that it's completely good or bad), religious fanaticism(how far will they go? and further more why in the hell are IMDb users giving this anything above a 2? It does feel like the two portions of it don't completely fit together. The winner has to survive the terror by being resourceful. The plot wouldn't seem so intensely button-pushing if we hadn't been inundated (especially in the wake of 9/11) with a rash of films that failingly attempt to rationalize and justify contemptible actions (on both sides) in the midst of warfare and natural disaster; Devereaux's 'monsters' are members of an expansive (and apparently global) religious sect, led by a Jim Jones type foretelling the impending apocalypse. Legend has it that the lady of the Lake seduces a man and then drowns him to avenge her brutal death. Was this review helpful? They believe aliens have arrived there then. I'm also glad that the demon effects were used sparingly; Devereaux knows that real live crazy people can be much scarier. Sounds corny, but why not? 6 out of 10 found this helpful. 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. In this unsettling and creepy thriller, Karen (Ilona Elkin), a young nurse who works in a psychiatric ward, boards the last subway train of the night only to have it stop suddenly in the ...

As those around her are brutally murdered, Karen and a handful of survivors must face supernatural forces, homicidal religious cult members, as well as their own fears and suspicions of Armageddon, in order to survive. 12 out of 21 found this helpful.

But like Romero, Devereaux isn't content with Happy Endings, and leaves us on an admirably ambiguous note that would do Dante Aligheri proud. On a remote Irish farm, five people become unwilling participants in an experiment that goes nightmarishly wrong.
The special effects were not-surprisingly excellent; look for a nasty half-decapitation as a great example. Armed with crucifix daggers, strong belief, and Sunday Smiles, these zealots are the stuff of nightmares (proving once again what George Romero established in "Night of the Living Dead"--what a zombie does to a person is nothing compared to what the human survivors do to themselves). Karen is a nurse at a psychiatric hospital whose been having nightmares of jump scares recently(and yeah, those do make a lot of appearances in this... but it does build a proper atmosphere, and is a very tense ride).
