In John Dies at the End, it’s all about the Soy Sauce, a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. 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 (Rob Mayes) and David (Chase Williamson), 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.
Adapted from David Wong’s audacious trans-genre horror novel, John Dies at the End is written and directed by Don Coscarelli (Bubba Ho-Tep, Phantasm), and stars Clancy Brown, Glynn Turman and Paul Giamatti.
“A PUNK ROCK GHOSTBUSTERS BY WAY OF H.P. LOVECRAFT. Its best moments are exhilarating. The film has enough trippy and original ideas for ten movies.” Nathan Rabin, A.V. Club
“Filled with crazy, wild imagery that will delight genre fans, it sets a tone that falls somewhere between Ghostbusters and the work of William S. Burroughs. Fun, gross, playful and constantly finding ways to delight and startle.” Drew McWeeny, HITFIX
The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Avenue NE, in the Nob Hill area.
