As we move deeper into 2026, we have no shortage of horror movies being released. We all know about the wild story of the megahit <\/a>Obsession and the linear space horror of Backrooms. Lately, everyone\u2019s been buzzing about the near-perfectly scored Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma<\/a>. But now, there\u2019s a new entry to talk about with a sky-high Rotten Tomatoes score.<\/p>\n The film is It Ends, a low-budget horror film that, in some ways, moves beyond the genre. It currently has a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, and that\u2019s with five dozen critic reviews in, meaning that score is going to be pretty sticky at this point.<\/p>\n A 95% means that as it stands, It Ends has now passed up Obsession itself. In fact, it is now tied with Camp Miasma, which has dropped from a 99% to a 95% score recently, as the highest-scored horror movies of 2026.<\/p>\n That has now altered the breakdown of the overall list of 2026 for major releases, with It Ends landing that tie.<\/p>\n It Ends is definitely not gory\/jump-scare horror, but more existential horror. The central concept is that a group of friends take a wrong turn and end up on a road in the woods that simply goes on forever, and it\u2019s not clear if they can ever leave it. I am wondering about obvious questions like what happens when they run out of gas or if they go try to walk through the woods, but that\u2019s probably answered in the film. It reminds me a bit of FROM and the looped road that causes passersby to never leave a town, but no monsters here, it seems. Well, maybe not.<\/p>\n What are critics saying about it? Here are a few:<\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure I expect any enormous breakout megahit success here, but clearly this is a film to watch for both horror fans and those who may discover it transcends that genre.<\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong>on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong>Herokiller series<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
