JOHN DIES AT THE END Midnight

From the novel by David Wong comes this instant cult favorite that has been thrilling audiences at festivals around the world. John and Dave are problem solvers – and it’s all thanks to drugs. After taking “Soy Sauce,” the two are able to see formerly-hidden monsters and demons that have invaded our dimension. Like a pair of low-rent Ghostbusters, they do battle with the supernatural. Everything from Burroughs-esque bugs to re-animated meat zombies are thrown at them in the shadow world revealed by the drug. Characters that slide between life and death and trans-dimensional conspiracies make this adaptation natural territory for director Don Coscarelli. Known for flinging murderous silver orbs (PHANTASM) or pairing a black JFK with an elderly Elvis (BUBBA HO-TEP), Coscarelli is the ideal horror maestro to helm this story. Starring Paul Giamatti as an investigative reporter, JOHN DIES AT THE END is an unpredictable modern nightmare.

Independent filmmaker Don Coscarelli was born in Tripoli, Libya, and raised in Southern California. At age 19 he became the youngest director to have a feature film distributed by a major Hollywood studio. While Coscarelli may best be known for the PHANTASM films, he also directed BUBBA HO-TEP, THE BEASTMASTER films and KENNY & COMPANY.
