Watch John Dies at the End For Free

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."John Dies at the End" (R - 2012 - US)Sub-Genre: Gore/ComedyMy Score: 6.9Cast=7 Acting=7 Plot=5 Ending=9 Story=7 Scare=4 Jump=7 F/X=6 Gore=9 Funny=8 A new street drug that sends its users across time and dimensions has one drawback: some people return as no longer human. Can two college dropouts save humankind from this silent, otherworldly invasion? "Do you ever wonder why you sometimes see a single shoe lying alongside the road?" There are a lot of elements in this movie...I could easily call this a Sci-Fi movie, too. It's extremely busy, but I liked this quite a bit!! I could right a book about this movie and I wouldn't cover everything that's in it. I'm just going to recommend you give it a look, but you might watch it again in the next 24 hours.

Despite having picked up a box set of writer/director Don Coscarelli's Phantasm films I have somehow never got round to opening the collection.Taking part in a film festival being held on IMDb's Film Festival board,I noticed that the latest project that Coscarelli has made was on the viewing list,which led to me getting ready to see John die at the end.The plot:Meeting up with newspaper reporter Arnie Blondestone, David Wong begins to tell Blondestone the events which led to him getting psychic powers. Days earlier:Finding themselves going up against a women who can transform into snakes,Wong and his friend John Cheese decide to contact TV infomercial psychic Albert Marconi,who kills the snakes by casting a spell over the phone.Going to watch Cheese perform in a band,Wong runs into drug dealer Robert Marley,who calms that he has a new drug that has given him psychic powers,which Marley displays by telling Wong about the dream he had last night.Dismissing Marley's "party tricks" Wong gets a call later that night from a terrified-sounding Cheese. Entering Cheese's house,Wong finds a syringe filled with a black tar colour liquid that appears to be alive.Kicking Cheese out of his drugged up state,Wong soon discovers that Marley's "new drug" claims have offered up a dimension time jumping high.View on the film:Going on IMDb a few minutes after seeing the film,I was sorry to find out that Angus Scrimm has just died,with Scrimm giving a good,creepy performance as Father Shellnut. Joining Scrimm, Chase Williamson & Rob Mayes each give terrific performances as Cheese and Wong,thanks to Williamson & Mayes giving the duo a strong bond which stays firm as it coiled by weirdness,as co-producer Paul Giamatti chews the scenery as Arnie Blondestone.Pulling the pulp from David Wong's graphic novels,the screenplay by co-editor/ (along with Donald Milne) writer/director Don Coscarelli scrambles time travelling Sci-Fi,vicious critter splatter Horror,and supernatural mystery.Keeping the meet between Wong and Blondestone as the foundation, Coscarelli builds vast quirky mountains which go from a psychic dog to the guys entering an alternative ghost world.As Coscarelli offers a sweet nod to his earlier work in the final page, Coscarelli struggles to unravel all of the threads,with Coscarelli having a sharp eye for unleashing another deliciously quirky thread in Cheese's world,but being unable to join them all together.Splashing the movie with vivid pulp Comic Book colours, Coscarelli and cinematographer Mike Gioulakis blend practical effects with CGI alt worlds.Cracking open Wong's head, Coscarelli & Gioulakis cast ultra-stylised,quick-fire tracking shots across the titles and winding camera moves which give the film a strikingly peculiar ,off- beat atmosphere.Whilst the practical gore effects give the film a darkly comedic edge,the CGI effects never fully blend in,due to them looking half-finished,which leads to the large CGI final scenes feeling disconnected from the maze Coscarelli has built,as John dies at the end.

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.

Was boring and disturbing. Had watched it w/ a male friend of mine who liked it. I found it to be very sexist. Pay attention to the role of the dude's eventual girl friend and the two women who follow that guy around. All the important roles are held by men and the women who did make it into this terrible movie are only there because they are nice to look at. Felt so degrading watching this. The worst was when the two guys went into that other world and there was a population of women led by a man (of course). They were all topless with their faces covered. Are you serious? Very disturbing. If you are a women, watch this if you want to hate men. If you are a man, watch this if you hate women, you will thoroughly enjoy this.
