Good... 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.

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

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.

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

Moyle shows great control over most of Weirdsville, taking joy in Willem Wennekers's screenplay by submerging the action in accelerated colors and embracing the slapstick nature of it all.

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

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.

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

Dark and devilishly clever, director Allan Moyle's Weirdsville is a twisted caper comedy.

Moyle is as deft a craftsman as ever, utilizing the widescreen frame to create a number of elegant, vibrantly colorful images that give the film a bright, bubbly energy in spite of the violence at its core.

A cleverly constructed, capably crafted and often uproarious shaggy-dog black comedy.

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

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

Director Moyle (Pump Up the Volume, Empire Records) keeps a sure hand on the proceedings as the film blends comic events with surreal visions and adrenaline-fueled action (and editing).

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

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

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

This absurd crime odyssey has so much gonzo enthusiasm that it's impossible not to enjoy.

At the very least, one would hope that enough of the talent agents, managers and producers currently using heroin properly tap the vein of Bentley's terrific performance.

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

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