Two shocking words have entered the Irish lexicon in the last decade. These are stay-cation and holi-stay, both equal in their evil awfulness. However there is a new pretender to the throne. Car-cation.  Car-cation, really? Yes, according to the Stena marketing team.

What you may need to know

1. John Dies At The End is a future cult classic.

2. It’s based on the novel, itself a cult classic.

3. It stars Paul Giamatti. We’ll watch Giamatti in pretty much anything.

4. It’s directed by Don Coscarelli, the mad genius behind the Phantasm
movies.

5. Coscarelli also gave us Bruce Campbell as Elvis in the sublime Bubba
Ho-Tep
(2002).

6. Make no mistake, this is a b-movie. But we’ll take a demented b-flick
over the MOR crap Hollywood is churning out these days.
