Some will find the darkly funny, genre-bending incoherence of John Dies at the End charming; some will feel its zany antics and gore lead to an unsatisfying payoff.

Despite its astronomical body count, John Dies at the End never takes itself too seriously, and neither should you. Mar 14, 2013 | Rating: 2.5/4

Director Don Coscarelli isn't especially smooth or coherent, and he leans on weird for weird's sake. Mar 8, 2013 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

The stakes don't seem all that high, despite claims of world-ending consequences. If what you want is schlocky fun, then John Dies at the End should deliver. If you want something more, then you may want to look elsewhere afterwards. Feb 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
