Known for such popular fantasy flicks as The Beastmaster, Bubba Ho-Tep and the four titles in the cult Phantasm series, writer-director Don Coscarelli returns with John Dies at the End, in which two slackers named Dave and, yes, John contend with the fallout of a new drug that causes people to visit other dimensions and occasionally return in less-than-human form. Sideways star Paul Giamatti also appears in the latest offering from the Back Alley Film Series. For more information, visit www.backalleyfilmseries.com.
