Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Madilyn Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

jbenante-388-963917 I absolutely loved Bubba-Ho-Tep, and that movie may have spoiled me in comparison to this one.The movie is weird. VERY weird. I usually love that. In this case, I enjoyed the Weird, but I didn't love it.Performances were good, as were special effects - for the most part. Plot was somewhat hard to follow, but I suspect that was by choice and not by accident.The bottom line is that, while I would not dissuade anyone from watching this movie, I can't heartily recommend it either. For me, it's a movie that I enjoyed well enough watching once, but would not really want to watch again. Whereas I could watch Bubba-Ho-Tep a dozen times and never tire of it.

NateWatchesCoolMovies It's almost impossible for me to describe Don Coscarelli's John Dies At The End without either giving too much away, sounding ridiculous or just confusing the reader. It is a ridiculous film, in the sense that Buckaroo Banzai or Bill & Ted are, a completely batshit, near stream of consciousness horror hoot that somehow just makes sense on its own terms and in it's own world. It all kicks off when best buds Dave (Chase Williamson) and trouble magnet John (Rob Mayes, pretty much a late 20's version of Rob Lowe) decide to try a dubious wonder-drug amusingly nicknamed 'soy sauce', a narcotic known for its space/time/dimension altering powers, and pretty much a surefire way to descend into hellish but very funny chaos where nothing makes sense and the story takes a dime store turn into bizarre schlock worthy of a Troma special. Among the delightful surprises in store for them are time travel, a meat monster, an ominous rastafarian stranger named Robert Marley (think they're so clever, don't they), aliens, dildos that materialize out of nowhere and all kinds of weirdness exploding from a seemingly endless grab bag of retro looking special effects. Poor Dave rushes to find John before they're hopelessly cornered by the forces of….. whatever lol, aided by his adorable amputee girlfriend (Fabienne Theresse) and a cop named "Detective Morgan Freeman", who isn't played by Morgan Freeman, before you ask. Somehow the film finds time for a brief appearance by Clancy Brown, playing some sort of super sonic Ghostbuster crossed with David Blaine (he's actually great) and an overarching subplot in which Dave recounts all this hullabaloo to a skeptical journalist, played by none other than Paul Giamatti, whose reactions upon eventually coming face to face with the results of soy sauce are priceless. Did I do a good job describing it? Who knows.. I'm not even sure the film itself does a good job of describing it, but it sure has fun trying and I sure did watching it too. If Mystery Science Theatre tried to put on an X Files episode while loaded up on whatever William Hurt took in Altered States, it might look something like this. Director Coscarelli is most famous for Phantasm and Bubba Ho Tep (a personal favorite), so if you've seen those then you'll have some kind of diving board of an idea as to what this one's all about. Only, here he flips the diving board upside down, throws it into space and abandons any usual drawing board for something that gets pretty off the wall, even for him. I say bring it on.

Elvan-Lady I'm familiar with David Wong's works from Cracked.com, and knew he was a decent writer. This wasn't quite what I expected, and I now I'm not sure WHAT I was expecting.It's a wild trip from start to finish, and I feel like there's more questions than answers. Not the ones that make you ponder, but the ones that make you want more and want some sort of closure. Or maybe a sequel.I'm definitely picking up the book, though - maybe I'll be able to figure out some of the things that the movie didn't explain.Definitely a lot more dick jokes than you see in most movies, that's for sure.

stegor John Dies At the End ... Or not ... Since this is a spoiler free zone ... Contains likable characters, an implausible plot, plus more than a modicum of laughs.Played straight throughout, despite risible effects, the acting deserves an award.Some great one liners, easily missed, and genuine moments of lateral thinking.Quintessentially quirky, at times erratic, with tenuous twists which raise a smile.Not for the kiddies or movie mavens - Nor for those dependant on logic. But anyone prone to accept the improbable could certainly find this film rewarding.It's different. Low budget. Yet somehow endearing. Worth watching for Bark Lee alone.
