Cinemystery: New Red Band Trailer for John Dies at the End

It's all about the Soy Sauce …

Magnolia Pictures has uploaded a new red band (age restricted) trailer for its film adaptation of John Dies at the End, which we've embedded below. (More about the book itself also below.)

Soy Sauce is a paranormal, psychoactive 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.

Written and directed by Don Coscarelli, John Dies at the End will be available on demand December 27th and in theaters January 25th, 2013.
