... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreA 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."
... View MoreI think director Don Coscarelli must have been impressed by Lady Gaga's meat dress to come up with that creature made of left over steaks and sausage. I wouldn't have made the connection on my own, but other reviewers made mention of Coscarelli's film "Bubba Ho-Tep", in which Elvis Presley impersonates an Elvis Presley impersonator. If you can wrap your head around that concept, you might be ready for "John Dies at the End". But don't expect John to die at the end because everything in the picture is misdirection and nonsense, almost to the point of overload. I enjoy this kind of quirky stuff actually, but when it comes at you non stop it gets kind of overbearing. I thought the snakes were pretty colorful however, and the song about a camel holocaust got my attention. If I had to guess though, the stuff in the movie never actually happened, because, well, you figure it out. Still, one great takeaway I'll remember a long time was the brilliance of this singular concept - "Time is an ocean, not a garden hose."

View MoreA-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.
... View MoreThis is easily one of the best movies I ever saw in 2015. It's intelligent , with extremely well-written dialogue, as well as memorable characters, amazing production values, skillful directing and editing, beautiful special effects, and very solid acting from actors who, despite not being overwhelming famous, are still highly talented and do very well to create an atmosphere in this film.My only complaint with this film is sometimes it gets too bizarre and trippy, almost as if you had to consume cannabis or LSD to fully appreciate the weirdness of it.Overall, a very good film on every level, highly underrated, and definitely one I would recommend to all, particularly those who appreciate surreal and thought-provoking films.8/10
... View MoreThis film delivered right from the confusing start to the pure joy of the ending (credits started to roll and they kept adding more to the movie as if they didn't want it to end, I certainly didn't want it to) Like a Kool Aid Acid Test refresher course in science fiction and horror, its B-Movie madness but with triple A acting.Having never read the book it was all new to me and I must admit to even now scratching my head about how some of it tied together. But who cares? Its not high budget, its not glossy Hollywood but it certainly was made by people who care about film, about treating the audience as if they deserve something better than an identikit investment project.The acting deserves a big mention, I didn't recognise anyone apart from of course Paul Giametti and Glynn Turman but there wasn't a dud in the whole cast.Too many times I find movies these days with characters who I don't like or care for but this film was acted with devotion and an unbelievable dedication to making sure that the audience would enjoy every second.Much respect for the big chance taken in making this movie and for putting so much care and attention into it.I've given it a ten as film making like this should be respected and encouraged whenever possible. Its far from perfect but at the same time, in its genre, it is a king.
