Critics Consensus

Some will find the darkly funny, genre-bending incoherence of John Dies at the End charming; some will feel its zany antics and gore lead to an unsatisfying payoff.

The saving grace of John Dies at the End is undoubtedly its manic storytelling: the energy and pacing of scenes give the movie the impression of being told on the spot (which is of course what the framing device intends).

Gonzo freakiness in such doses that cult status is practically ensured.

I stopped taking notes when the woman disintegrated into a ball of writhing snakes.

I wouldn't count on the title giving you a leg up on the film's outcome.

This could, and maybe should, have been something we'd rave about and line up to see at midnight screenings for years to come.

The best way to describe the whole ordeal is cheap.

I think this is a must see if: - you appreciate movie making over the story - you appreciate witty humor - you are open to a bit of extravagance If so… you’ll watch it more than one time!

Another day, another movie others have rated poorly, and I cannot comprehend why. I'm not much into sci-fi, yet this movie's blend of sci-fi, horror, thriller, and comedy work. I definitely recommend this.

I gotta say that I was surprised by this film, the flick legit freaked me out. It literally was going all over the place, but I can honestly say I was shockingly entertained.
