Violet Lucca Film Comment Magazine 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). Jun 28, 2013 Full Review James White Empire Magazine Gonzo freakiness in such doses that cult status is practically ensured. Rated: 3/5 Mar 17, 2013 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post I stopped taking notes when the woman disintegrated into a ball of writhing snakes. Rated: 1.5/4 Mar 15, 2013 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews I wouldn't count on the title giving you a leg up on the film's outcome. Rated: C Jul 30, 2023 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See This could, and maybe should, have been something we'd rave about and line up to see at midnight screenings for years to come. Rated: C- Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com The best way to describe the whole ordeal is cheap. Rated: 1/5 Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Steven G Even though it was released 2013, it has 80s vibe all over. Loved it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Mike H Just chill and see it for what it is. It’s entertaining, it’s clever, and the narration is goofy and cool. Not for everyone probably, but I enjoyed its madness. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Andy B Magnificently weird, goofy and extremely confusing in an enjoyable way, it makes little sense but keeps you hooked just wondering what's going to happen next. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Rob I read the book a couple days ago and decided to watch the movie. Was not disappointed. Movies are never like the books bc they're different mediums but this movie did the book poetic justice. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Terry S Quirky and really kind of funny--A really unique experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review terry b This was a great movie with a lot of laughs. Its not a mainstream crowd pleaser. If your willing to keep an open mind and not take this so seriously. Then you should find it ptetty funny at just about every twist and turn. Idk ehy this ismt rated higher. I got it and I guess many just didnt or they where looking at it through rhe eyes of s movie critic that takes themselves and this movie far to seriously. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
