Review of John Dies at the End (2013) by Mloy X — 20 Jun 2014
Dave (Chase Williamson): You're gonna die, Arnie. Someday you will face that moment. And at that.
Moment you will face either complete nonexistence, or you will face something even stranger. On an actual day in the future, Arnie, you will be in the unimaginable. It is physically impossible to.
Avoid it.
This was a strange and trippy film; it's really unique, I'll give it that. There is pretty much no rhyme or reason to it but just like some of the characters, once you get a taste of the "Soy sauce" sometimes its just best to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, rather than try to fight it. Chase Williamson's Dave was entertaining enough but I have to admit, I stayed for Paul Giamatti (who plays reporter Arnie Blondestone) because his presence somehow added a bit more credibility to the film. It was also a kick watching Clancy Brown (Dr. Albert Marconi) because he's also such cool, yet underrated actor and watching Doug Jones (.
Roger North ) sans any prosthetics or make up was weirdly interesting as well. Overall, this film wasn't exactly Shakespeare but it was cool to watch once, but what's more important is that it made me want to check out the book ( and that's always good).
