John Dies at the End is a 2012 horror-comedy film based on the book of the same name by David Wong. The film follows two college dropouts, Dave and John, who become unwittingly involved in a supernatural conspiracy after taking a new drug called "Soy Sauce." The drug allows them to have out-of-body experiences, see the future, and communicate with the dead.
However, they soon discover that the drug has unintended side effects, and they are not the only ones who have been changed by it. As a mysterious otherworldly invasion of Earth begins, Dave and John must use their newfound abilities to stop the invasion and save humanity.
The film was directed by Don Coscarelli and stars Chase Williamson as Dave, Rob Mayes as John, and Paul Giamatti as Arnie Blondestone, a journalist investigating the strange occurrences in their town. The film received a mixed response from critics but has since gained a cult following for its unique blend of horror and comedy.
