Based on 1 rating
A group of recent grads head out on a late night drive for grub, hoping to enjoy one final hangout before their paths diverge. Instead, they accidentally turn onto a never-ending, two-lane hellscape surrounded by untold horrors and cosmic forces beyond their understanding. Cramped together inside a Jeep Cherokee and with the miles stretching infinitely ahead, they face a choice: embrace their new existence or fight to escape it.
Each kind of scare is rated out of 10. Hover over a score, or use the info button, to see what it means.
1.0 out of 10,Mild
Blood, injuries and body horror shown on screen. Violence that happens off-screen barely counts.
Gore 1.0 is mild (1-2 on the scale):
10.0 out of 10,Extreme
Unsettling images, atmosphere and things that feel wrong. Not sudden shocks (Jumpscares) or waiting for something to happen (Suspense).
Creepy 10.0 is extreme (9-10 on the scale):
4.0 out of 10,Moderate
Sudden shocks designed to make you jump, usually a fast movement or a loud noise. Not slow-building dread (Suspense).
Jumpscares 4.0 is moderate (3-4 on the scale):
10.0 out of 10,Extreme
Tension and dread while you wait for something to happen. Not the scare itself when it arrives (Jumpscares or Gore).
Suspense 10.0 is extreme (9-10 on the scale):
10.0 out of 10,Extreme
Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
Psychological 10.0 is extreme (9-10 on the scale):
A film doesn't need to do every kind of horror to be scary, so the overall score only uses its three strongest categories. Any of those three scoring 3 or lower counts as zero and takes off another 0.5.
It Ends is number 2 of 74 rated films on the Scare Scale, with an overall score of 10.0 out of 10.
