An anxious shut-in moves into a haunted apartment following a nervous breakdown in “Night’s End.” What sounds like a recipe for disaster proves to be just that. A trailer for Jennifer Reeder’s latest sees Ken (Geno Walker, “Chicago Fire”) struggling to sleep and trying to make a name for himself online, where he posts videos focused on long life tips, management tips, and divorced dad tips.
Ken opens up about his creepy new home to his subscribers. “Some folks have commented that maybe my apartment is haunted,” he says. A loved one jokingly asks if there are “are there any weird bloodstains on the floor or blood-curdling screams in the hallways,” and some folks online are convinced that “it’s all just a big hoax.” But Ken maintains that “it’s really happening. None of it is fake,” he insists.
Reeder’s most recent feature, 2019’s “Knives and Skin,” screened at the Berlinale.
When we asked her advice for other women directors, she told us, “Find your squad, put in the work, tell the stories that are missing. You got this.”
“Night’s End” premieres on Shudder March 31. Check out the trailer to see exactly what’s going on inside Ken’s home.
