John Dies at The End

dfdffEureka! Entertainment have announced the home video release of JOHN DIES AT THE END, the frenetic, freaky and action packed new film from Don Coscarelli, director of Bubba HoTep and Phantasm, based on the cult novel of the same name by author David Wong.

There’s a new drug on the streets. Soy sauce promises users an out of body experience like no other as they drift across time and experience other dimensions. When slacker friends John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down a job between them, try the drug they can see for the first time a horde of demons populating the globe, hiding in plain sight among normal human beings. What follows is a dark and hilarious adventure like no other as they battle the invaders and the stage is set for a gripping thrill ride as they attempt to save the world from this otherworldly invasion.

Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can’t.
