John Dies at the End

Critics Consensus

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.

Movie Info

It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't. -- (C) Official Site

Audience Reviews for John Dies at the End

  • Aug 27, 2017
    Fun, horror-comedy-B-movie with above-average plot that keeps you on your toes!
    Letitia L Super Reviewer
  • Oct 08, 2016
    Hands down one of the worst films I've ever seen.
    Stephen S Super Reviewer

    Remember 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.

    John 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.
