One of the Park City at Midnight titles Ryan Daley missed out on was Don Coscarelli's (
Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep) incredibly bizarre and entertaining
John Dies at the End, which we now have reviewed courtesy of Feed Topel.
"
'John Dies at the End' is a wonderful irreverent horror movie. The great thing about irreverence is I think you have to have reverence before you can remove it. Don Coscarelli celebrates his and our love of monsters and cataclysm by reframing their cinematic power."
You'll find his full review by clicking the title above. We'll bring you distro news as soon as it's announced.
"
It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't."

Those of you keeping up with
V/H/S now know that one of the main goals of the experimental project was for it to be
F/U/N. This bled into conversations about the film's conclusion and how to play out the credits.
While most found footage films end with a lame "fade to black" and no credits, we opted to rock out with some jams '80s style. The fact of the matter is, we're not trying to fool you, every viewers knows it's NOT real. You know?
The idea was to end the film on a high note and have the viewer walk out of the theater with a hop in their step. This is why we chose
The Death Set's "They Come To Get Us" (
purchase) as our end credit theme. In celebration of the film being acquired by Magnolia, Bloody's Jon Barkan interviewed Johnny Siera of the Aussie punk rock band over at
BD's Music Section. You can rock out to the single by reading on, and purchase the sucker over at
iTunes.

"HE" has returned in
The Wicker Tree, a companion piece to
The Wicker Man that Anchor Bay has opened in limited theaters today. Below you'll find a third clip from Robin Hardy's flick that offers advise from Christopher Lee.
"
When two young missionaries (Brittania Nicol, Henry Garrett) head to Scotland, they are initially charmed by the locals in the town of Tressock, and agree to become the local Queen of the May and Laddie for the annual town festival. But the couple is not prepared for the frightening consequences of their decision, and the very disturbing secrets they are about to discover about Tressock's seemingly friendly townspeople."
Written and Directed by Robin Hardy,
The Wicker Tree also features Graham McTavish, Jacqueline Leonard, Honeysuckle Weeks, Clive Russell with Christopher Lee, star of the original
The Wicker Man.
