Refreshing movie, I enjoyed watching it more than I originally imagined.

This is not even entertaining for a B-movie. You have to be on some serious drugs to enjoy this movie.

John wont die at the end, but I certainly will. This movie has left me in a vegetable state. Help me!

What's the point of this? I think it's to try to be clever or hip because it certainly isn't scary, funny or coherent. It's too bad that it isn't any of those things but it is irritating, pointless and boring. It took three attempts to get through watching without falling asleep, and those attempts were all on different days. "John Dies At The End" isn't as impossible to follow as say, "Upstream Color" but pretentiousness isn't its goal. I think it's trying to entertain someone whose drunk or stoned and just happens to be sitting in front of their TV when it plays on a cable station. That way, the fact that it makes no sense doesn't matter. And guess what? Spoiler Alert!!! John doesn't die at the end! See how clever!

Watching this again I'm impressed at how much of it was ripped directly from the pages of the book rather successfully considering how differently it was adapted. I though I remembered John's phone calls differently having a degree of prescience. That said I also remember feeling how much it felt like there was more to the story. The first time I saw this I knew of the book but I hadn't read it. Having read the book now I can definitely see how much was left out and yet the movie is a fairly tight narrative that contains just enough to enjoy and yet make you want to find more. It contains a lot of the wackiness and some of the monster horror but none of the existential horror from the book.
