Writing about this assortment of films reminded me of two tried and true realities of film festing: no amount of pre-festival hype can compensate for the film itself (case in point: as high as I am on Julia Ducournau's " Alpha," it pains me to see it receive a muted response) and there will always be at least one or two films I'll go into knowing nothing about and will walk away with it being one of favorite films of the year.

Two directorial debuts at this year’s Chicago Critics Film Festival share an existential synergy in offering terrifying variations on the road trip movie. Alexander Ullom’s It Ends follows four recent college grads, James (Phinehas Yoon), Tyler (Mitchell Cole), Fisher (Noah Toth), and Day (Akira Jackson) who embark on a late-night drive together before they go their separate ways.
