If you've read a lot of my posts over the years, you know I almost always miss the boat when it comes to talked-about movies. I'd seen so many of my fellow horror lovers rave about this nutty, hilarious film upon its initial release. Finally, it's my turn to give this a view.
Loosely based on the novel by David Wong and directed by legendary Don Coscarelli, the story revolves mainly around two college dropouts. One, David, tells his story of psychic powers to reporter Arnie Blondestone(played by the awesome Paul Giamatti).It comes to find out David and his friend John(you know, the one who dies at the end?) are both under the influence of a drug called Soy Sauce, giving them the ability to see a non-linear perception of time and perception of alternate dimensions. If only they flew around in a blue police box.
The story continues with them, friend Amy and dog Bark Lee stepping into an alt universe where they must confront and destroy an organic computer known as Korror so as not for it to travel into their dimension. This was one of the zanier films I've seen in recent years. Some of the drug scenes were a bit tedious but the monsters, the scene where Bark Lee talks(you don't chose the soy sauce, the soy sauce chooses you), the lackadaisical attitudes John and Dave have to saving the world, it all works for me. I'm told the novel is very different and much better than the movie which means I must read and review this down the road. A top ten nominee, for sure.

Hi Eric! I've never heard of this movie or the book until I read this blog post but now I am more than tempted to give it a watch! The title is similar to a short film I saw on Youtube called "He dies at the end" which is about a man working late at night when he receives a terrifying interactive e-mail on his computer. That's all I'll tell you since I don't want to spoil it in case you want to see it, but I do recommend it if you like horror shorts.
I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
