Dunno if anyone has caught this yet?

It's the new movie from Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Hotep) based on Cracked writer Jason Pargin's novel.

The movie is about two slacker types, Dave and John, who become demon fighters after taking a mind-bending drug called Soy Sauce that gives them special powers to take out creatures from another dimension.

For a low budget flick I thought the movie was tons of funs - lots of Coscarelli's usual whacked out visual flair and black humour. And some pretty wicked props...would love John's Bible Belter bat...

I don't know if it's in select theaters yet.but a few people I know have seen it online. The books were awesome! After reading the book I had to make this:

Now I need to make that Bible Belter!

Oh,nice close-ups of the Belter! Is it a baseball bat in the film or a billy club? It looks kinda skinny in the one shot in his hand.

Apparently they could not get the dog in the movie to react properly to the name Molly, so they kept his real name (Bark Lee).

A couple of the characters have been morphed into one, also. The character of Amy in the movie is closer to Jennifer Lopez from the book.

Las Vegas and a lot of other bits and pieces from the book are skipped.

Ha, I watched this last night too, didn't even know there was a thread. Low budget shows quite a bit, a lot of themes not developed enough vs. the book, and some of the acting and direction/editing...er, 'quirky' and 'flair' would be kinda, um, kind words. Funny though!

I did not know that was David Wong's real name.

re: John Dies At The End (Post-release)

I thought it was brilliant. Kind of like a acid trip version of "Bill and Ted's excellent adventure"

Quirky, funny, odd and some pretty decent acting.
