The saving grace of John Dies at the End is undoubtedly its manic storytelling: the energy and pacing of scenes give the movie the impression of being told on the spot (which is of course what the framing device intends).

Gonzo freakiness in such doses that cult status is practically ensured.

I stopped taking notes when the woman disintegrated into a ball of writhing snakes.

Despite its astronomical body count, John Dies at the End never takes itself too seriously, and neither should you.

Director Don Coscarelli isn't especially smooth or coherent, and he leans on weird for weird's sake.

A confusing plot to begin with, the adaptation of the novel is a certified mess, attempting to provide blow-by-blow illustrations of scenes from the source book, and lifting most of the narration and dialogue verbatim.

Oct 16, 2015Remember how you ignored Donny Darko, and the Evil Dead (The Big Lebowski too) movies until they became cult classics? Well, it's time to step up your game and get on board with a film before it has it's perpetual booth at comic con. Original, hilarious, trippy, thought provoking and well done.Anthony V Super Reviewer

Oct 03, 2015John Dies at the End is one of those delightfully weird movies. Yes, it lacks here and there in various aspects (e.g. plot) but none of that detracts from the fun. While I found it to be a notch below classics such as Repo Man, still it is undeniably a good time.Robert B Super Reviewer
