Overview

Dexter and Royce, two stoners in the small town of Weedsville, attempt to cover up the overdose of Royce's girlfriend Matilda. What leads from an old drive-in being perfect place to ditch her turns into the accidental discovery of a Satanic cult, who brings Mattie back from the dead after their ritual is botched. Along with the two's dealer Omar on their tail, how will these buddies and their slightly-off lady-on-board deal with the dangers of drug debt and demon-worshipping magic?

The paper-thin characters make it feel less like a rounded feature and more like a TV pilot with the promise of more adventures to come.

David Jenkins, Time Out
Rotten

One of the most unlikable films of the year.

G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

I kept wishing for a rewrite that sent the Satanists packing and pulled the love story hiding within Wennekers' script to the fore.

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly

Half-funny and half-obvious, Weirdsville gets a little tiresomely silly, but Bentley still has a glare that burns through metal, and his rapport with Speedman is agreeable.

You don't have to be stoned to watch Allan Moyle's latest small-town escapade, but it might help.
