Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

lojitsu 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.

MartinHafer "John Dies at the End" is not a film for everyone. It's incredibly strange, practically impossible to describe and has no conventional plot elements. It's really like combining "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey", "Men in Black" an "Evil Dead" film and lots of LSD. It's incredibly strange and trippy...and something conventional film viewers probably won't enjoy. As for me, I enjoyed it once I stopped trying to understand it!The story is a bizarro tale of Dave and his friend, John and their weird lives once they try a weird drug they dub 'soy sauce'. Once it's in their systems, they get caught up in a weird battle between parallel worlds and none of it makes the least bit of sense. What follows is one weird CGI explosion after another--and I do recommend you try it if you have a high capacity for the strange. I would try to say more...but this film truly defies description though it does look like the filmmakers possibly intended to make sequels.

Fortune_Sparkles I love SciFi but this seemed to be a movie more about drugs and trippin. It was hard to follow. I understand that this is based on a book and maybe the Director/Producer(s) had a hard time translating the book into a movie. Now, I never read the book so I have nothing to compare it to but for me it was just a bunch of non-sense happening.I understand it was suppose to be two losers who get a hold of a new drug that is on the street one uses it willingly the other by accident. Afterward, a bunch of strange stuff happens. Some of it seems to be alternate dimensions while other stuff possibly alien. Really, who knows. It was to random and drug induced for me to follow.However, the acting and the cinematography were both good. Clearly, the movie was meant to appeal to young men; especially those that use drugs.If you're a high young guy, you're gonna love this movie; everyone else,not so much.

poe426 PHANTASM I-IV were all entertaining in a mind-boggling, time-bending, inter-dimensional kind of way. Like JOHN DIES AT THE END. Don Coscarelli seems to be in his element, here, and he dishes up body-snatching alien invaders from another dimension by the score. Being totally unfamiliar with the book upon which this movie was based, I have absolutely no preconceived notions about what the movie "should've" been: I know only that it's great fun in the spirit of the PHANTASM films and that the lead does an incredible job- the movie wouldn't've been half as good without him (OR his sidekick). The cameo by Angus Scrimm as a creepy clergyman was a nice little touch, too, but it was Paul Giamatti's jaw-dropping reaction to seeing into the Other Realm that really stood out in a movie laden with solid performances. The inclusion of Practical Effects was also greatly appreciated: the cold-cuts composite creature was as funny as it was unsettling and greatly ENHANCES the film. I couldn't stop laughing when Dave asks his "dead" friend, John, who he's talking to on a phone: "Where are you? In Heaven...?"
