Don’t pirate John Dies at the End or you will spontaneously (and violently) explode

Now this is how you get people not to pirate your movie—politely and with some gory humor.

Baraka: Our Ridiculous World Will Blow Your Mind

It’s hard to categorize this movie. It’s sooort of a documentary, but there is no real plot or dialogue here. It honestly is just a collection of images. But those images will leave you awestruck.
