Step Up to the Plate With the New ‘John Dies at the End’ Poster

The Sundance Film Festival is right around the corner.  Though many films will be making their premiere at the first major film festival of the year, one film that I’m the most curious about is Don Coscarelli’s horror-comedy John Dies at the End. The movie stems from a popular book that began as an online story series.  It follows two “ghostbuster types” John (Rob Mayes) and Dave (Chase Williamson) as they deal with a series of unusual adventures once they are exposed to an experimental drug known only as “Soy Sauce.”  The new poster for the film looks to introduce us to one of their weapons of choice in the film.  A synopsis of the film is followed by the poster below.

On the street, they call it “soy sauce.” It’s a paranormal, psychoactive drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. Its users drift across time and dimensions, but some who come back are devoid of all humanity. While most of Earth’s inhabitants remain blissfully oblivious to its threat. Make no mistake, an otherworldly invasion is under way, and mankind needs to be saved. Enter John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. How can these guys possibly be expected to rescue mankind from certain destruction?

Originally erupting from the devilishly ingenious mind of David Wong, alter ego of Cracked.com’s senior editor Jason Pargin, JOHN DIES AT THE END began as a Web serial that became an Internet phenomenon. In the highly capable hands of legendary cult horror director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep), Pargin’s wildly trippy vision is forged into big-screen eye candy. The end result will take you to places in your subconscious that you shouldn’t be allowed to visit.
