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.
How can a single movie contain all this awesome craziness?
[It] eventually finds its own rhythm and meaningful chaos.
Nobody cares about John.
Audience Reviews for John Dies at the End
The complete mess of a plot tries at every cost to be a smart-ass comedy filled with an offbeat humor that, apart from a very few inspired moments, is simply embarrassing - as we can see, for instance, from an awful aracnicide joke in the movie's ridiculous last hour.

This is a very hard film to describe to anyone, but it's beloved by the internet right now, and I could not be happier. Adapted from a graphic novel of the same name, this amazing film defies logic, death, supernatural elements, and life in general, to bring a really rare and interesting story about two friends directly thrown into the darkness of the world. The main problem in the film is that the universe that has been created by the graphic novel isn't pared down enough to make a film. The entire scope is miniscule compared to what happens, and there are more unexplained questions left behind than anything else. We're not sure exactly what the other side is, how ghosts communicate with us, or what really happens to John (Mayes) and Dave (Williamson). On its own its definitely a psychedelic and feral kind of film, with its sharpened fangs, but there are just too many questions left unanswered and not enough juice to make it longer, so it suffers extensively for these faux pas.

| Roger North: | Do the bees know that they make the honey for you? Or do their work tirelessly because they think it is their own choice? |
| John: | We were chosen by the soy sauce. |
| Sergeant McElroy: | I think stuff is very real and not real at the same time. |
| Dave: | You've obviously been blessed with supernatural gifts. What better way to use them than to fish for free beer at parties? |
