Not since “Drag Me To Hell” has a horror film been so descriptive in the title. Don Coscarelli (“Bubba Ho-Tep”, “Phantasm”) is back and he brings the strange with him. Nobody has ever said that Coscarelli is a consummate filmmaker but he always brings great concepts and very entertaining films to the screen. “John Dies at the End” has something to do with drugs and out of body experiences and it feels vaguely like the trip fest that was Adrian Lyne’s “Jacob’s Ladder” back in 1990. This may just be one of those films that we don’t want to know too much about when we see it for the first time. I know I’ll be seeing this one.
“John Dies at the End” is written and directed by Don Coscarelli based on the novel by David Wong. It stars Chase Williamson, Paul Giamatti and Clancy Brown. It opens sometime in 2012.
