When stoners Dexter and Royce mistakenly assume their friend Matilda has overdosed, they can’t call the cops because she’s OD’d on stolen drugs. So, they decide to bury her body themselves. Good news is she’s not dead. Bad news is she wakes up just in time to interrupt a Satanic cult performing a ritual sacrifice in the same place the guys were going to bury her. Our heroes end up on the run from the Satanists, the drug dealer they stole the stash from, and a gang of angry little people all while trying to pull off a heist of their own. It’s one crazy night in one crazy town! --© Magnolia Pictures [Less]

If there was more vision on the front end, with more thought put into shot composition and less adherence to trendy, attention-deficit filmmaking, Weirdsville might have been an innovative indie gem

Neither as funny nor as serious as it ought to be.

Chainmailed flail-wielding midgets ­chasing Satanists chasing druggies – Allan Moyle has gone for the grown-up panto approach.

It's wacky, it's zany, it's loopy, it's freaky, it's daffy – but alas, not the most important one, which is "funny".

Only a trio of bungling Satanists prevent it ending up in routineville.

Anarchic and low budget, make sure you take along your bong.

Allan Moyle's stoner heist movie is a meandering dud.

It's pretty amusing stuff - though it could have been a lot funnier if they had resisted the temptation to shoehorn in quite so many plot twists.

A pleasingly gonzo black comedy pitched somewhere between Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead Stoned and Dude, Where's My Crack?

A quirky, amusing caper that shouldn't work, but somehow does.

Weirdsville is an enjoyable screwball crime thriller with a witty script, inventive direction and superb comic performances.

Director Allan Moyle travels a quirky road too often trod by aspirant indie pics.

The script has the substance and the slacker leads have the chemistry, but the execution fumbles the tourniquet, failing to find any rich vein of wackiness.

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.

Funny, well-acted nonsense. The best kind of quirkiness.

... it's piffle, but reasonably entertaining piffle, which ain't nothin' to sneeze at nowadays.

I was laughing well into the film's third act, when most films stop being funny.
