It’s not easy being a ’70s-era horror director and trying to get films made today when all Hollywood seems to be interested in is remaking your past gory glories. Following his 2002 sleeper sensation BUBBA HO-TEP and after helming the scariest episode of MASTERS OF HORROR (2005’s INCIDENT ON AND OFF A MOUNTAIN ROAD), writer/director Don Coscarelli continues his career renaissance with his latest movie JOHN DIES AT THE END (now on VOD; beginning its multi-city theatrical rollout on January 25 from Magnet Releasing; see list here), which has been killing audiences since its debut at Sundance last year. FANGORIA’s editor emeritus Tony Timpone chatted with the PHANTASM creator about his latest cult sensation, which he began spilling the beans about here and here. You can screen our final chapter with Coscarelli below (edited and shot by ace videographer Bill Hall).

With Ben Wheatley—one of the most electric and prolific new filmmakers working—and stars/writers Alice Lowe and Steve Oram crafting a chronicle of new lovers on holiday, the last thing to expect is anything resembling a traditional relationship drama. And that’s the last thing you get. But within Chris and Tina’s mad love, their pencil museum visits, their vicious murders and hysteric jaunt through the countryside is real poignancy about the peaks and valleys of intimate connection and letting go of long-held restraint.

There’s a marvelous scene about a half-hour into MAMA, which exemplifies what’s best about the film and also points up what it could use more of.
