First off let me be clear there are
things about this movie which simply will not be understood nor make
sense.I actually found that aspect of the film somewhat refreshing
and hilarious.This film is absurd. There wasn't a moment when I watched this movie
that I felt was too predictable because right off the bat this film
abandons all reason for homemade weapons and monsters that come off weird with some of B movie humor to them. Essentially this movie
tells the story of a group in the twenty's who minds are warped by a drug of
unknown origin called The Sauce. This isn't any ordinary drug
though, It can give you untold supernatural side effects. Some of the
side effects are amazing (reading minds) and some not so great(monsters). Are you still with me
cause if that’s too weird for now you'll want to sit this one out.
The acting in the film isn't too bad considering I've never
really heard of either of the two leads. Paul Giamatti is awesome in
this movie but I admit I am a fan. There’s also appearances by some really great character actors as well like
Clancy Brown, Doug Jones. Directed by Don Coscarelli who made
such films as Bubba Ho Tep, Phantasm, and The Beast Master did a
great job of mixing horror humor in this story based on a book by
David Wong. I've read a few of his cracked articles and I can
honestly say I’m always down to check out something he's written. I
actually watched this again a day or two ago and noticed
some things I missed before because I was too baffled by this insane
and funny movie.So in short if your in the mood for some interesting
performances and a plot that will either dumbfound you or blow your
mind check out John dies at the end.
4/5
