John Dies at the End
“Just so you know... they're sorry for anything that's about to happen.”
Premium Crap. CrapScore 70, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An unfamiliar drug opens the door to other dimensions, leaving two underqualified friends to address the consequences. Meat monsters and broken reality make excellent conversation starters. The deliberately wandering story is also the main obstacle, so expect an unruly collection of strange incidents rather than a tidy supernatural investigation.

Slant finds entertainingly unbounded ideas in the film but criticises the slack adaptation and lack of formal coherence; the source reviews the film, not the novel. Full review text consulted on 2026-11-10.
