John Dies at the End
In Coscarelli’s new feature, it’s all about the Soy Sauce, a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. 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 (Rob Mayes) and David (Chase Williamson), 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.
Director: Don Coscarelli. 99 mins. 2012. HDCam.

Phantasm
Coscarelli’s cult classic is an atmospheric and bizarre study of childhood loss and acceptance that also features gateways into other dimensions, murderous flying spheres, tiny hooded trolls and the most terrifying tall person in horror history. In Coscarelli’s world, the intangible pain of a boy losing his parents is only the beginning; he’s also got to deal with severed fingers that transform into man-eating insects. Shot on a remarkably small budget, the film’s surreal visuals and overbearing sense of confusion and dread raise it beyond mere camp or schlock territory into a realm of fractured storytelling that transforms the fear of death into an all-out fight against the ghoulish unknown.
Director: Don Coscarelli. 88 mins. 1979. 35mm.
