    John dies at the end, I really like the book series and some of the lines are great but overall a poorly edited garbage movie

    Most of the Halloween movies, resident evil, and underworld are sloppy messes I’m here for just to see how weird they go

    And a bunch of the cheap, pulp horror like Troma and actiony Neil Breen that aren’t on most streaming services

      Holy shit, there are others! I fucking loved the movie, considering the budget they did an OK job, it’s only like 1/3 of the book that has been randomized, but it gives that taste of the truly strange that is so rare to find. It’s a trash ass film, though, through and through. Great cast, though.

      The books are my all time favorite series, I can’t wait for the next one. Have you read any of Jason Pargin’s other books? They’re all bangers.

        Yeah! The Zoey Ashe series is great too. I haven’t read the last book he released yet but I do really enjoy his stories and style.

          Black Box Of Doom was really good, I highly recommend it. It’s very different from his other books as far as setting, since it’s set in the regular normal non-lovecraftian/Blade Runner world, but the story is just as gonzo as his other books, I had a blast reading it.
