Blu-ray Review: Deftly Absurd ‘John Dies at the End’ Never Runs Out of Steam
Submitted by mattmovieman on April 10, 2013 - 10:05amCHICAGO – About ten minutes into “John Dies at the End,” a doorknob suddenly transforms into a large flaccid penis. It earns a laugh of sheer incredulity from an audience delighted by writer/director Don Coscarelli’s willingness to do literally anything for a laugh. Not since the ZAZ team tackled “Airplane” and “The Naked Gun” has a film been packed wall-to-wall with so many absurdist gags.
