JUST SO YOU KNOW… THEY’RE SORRY FOR ANYTHING THAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN
A new street drug that sends its users across time and dimensions has one drawback: some people return no longer human. Can two college drop-outs save humanity from this silent, otherworldly invasion?
The movie is pretty good, but the book series is so much better.
Spoilers!
This is a masterpiece
My favorite part was David Wong did a reddit AMA as PR for the movie, and then kept using it.
And it wasn’t one of those things where he was cool and just popped up, he was actually insane.
You’d just randomly see the account pop up and then could catch up on all the crazy you missed.
I always wanted the book sequel made into a movie too tho
“This Book Is Full of Spiders, No Seriously, Don’t Open It” Would make a terrifying movie!!
A great book; the move didnt do it justice IMO.
You know, I used to hate on the movie more than it deserved… Thought it was an terrible interpretation of the book…
However, Jason Pargin himself has come out saying that the movie reinvigorated his writing career, and we wouldn’t have gotten any of the other books, or the zoey series, or anything else without the movie…
I’ve cut the movie a ton more slack since. :P
Given the budget they had to work with, it was as faithful an interpretation as you were going to get. I enjoyed it on the same level as I might enjoy “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” episodes.
But it pales in comparison with the book series. The Lovecraftian vibe you get in some of those chapters is chilling in a way a goofy Evil Dead styling just can’t deliver.
Paul Giamatti, you say?
You have my attention!
