Like crumbs to a begging dog, we are given indications that something monstrous is sharing the building with them. We also learn that the psycho chick has a collection of murdered people squirrelled away in various places. Clever Jack tries logic on her, but that doesn’t seem to help. What a surprise.
Seizing the opportunity to hit his captor with a board, Larry clobbers her, but does he finish her off? Of course not, if he did we wouldn’t get to see her having sex with Max. Larry ends up back in chains, and the psycho kills a few passersby when she’s not busy torturing him (he takes his lumps but it’s the psychological torture that is most grotesque).
Eventually we learn that Psycho Wig Lady had a tough childhood and has been unlucky in love. Do we care? Not really, by this point we’re convinced the whole film is just a psycho acting psycho, with no other point. Can Larry get out of this? Will we ever know his real name? Or hers?
After about an hour and a half, Dead Enders ends. A search for director Paul C. Hemmes results in a few hits, but I’ve yet to find anything about this film. There are no special features (or special anything). If, after having read this, you want to see the film, I couldn’t suggest where to get a copy. Maybe it’s just a mean trick the distributor is playing on me.
Bottom Line: Would I buy/rent/stream Dead Enders? I’m going to be nice and just say “no.” If you want to see it, good luck.
