It Gets Weirder And Weider

admin — Sun, 05 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

With cult hits like “Pump Up the Volume” and “Empire Records” under his belt, director Allan Moyle is no stranger to cult status. In fact, he hails from the world of independent film and only moved into mainstream later in his career. However, in “Weirdsville,” Moyle outdoes himself.

The 2007 Canadian film deals with the misadventures of two slackers named Royce and Dexter who believe their friend Mattie has just had a drug overdose. Do Royce and Dexter race to the hospital or call the cops as any normal person would do? No, their first thought is that they need to get rid of the body.Didnâ€™t catch that? This explains it. One of them used to work at a drive-in theater, and the boiler room there seems like as good a place as any to bury Mattie. What they don’t bank on, however, is the band of Satanic cultists who also have plans for the drive-in. In their case, however, they are hoping to use the site for ritual sacrifices.

That’s only the beginning. From this point forward, the movie does indeed get weirder and weirder. The film’s been compared to movies like “Trainspotting,” but in fact, it has its own weird and unique charm.

Make a Deal with the Devil

It almost feels like you’re making a deal with the devil when you see Weirdsville show up on the queue. Having made its rounds through Blockbuster and Redbox and all those movie channels you get through the cable tv providers, you would think more people knew about this film, but such is not the case.

That being said, allow me to sum it up for you.

Weirdsvilles is weird.

The film is what many people would consider a slacker comedy featuring the comedic exploits of two stoners set against the backdrop of a sinister takeover. However, what makes this film so baffling is its shotgun approach to storytelling and its seeming identity crisis.

It never quite knows if it wants to be a full-on comedy or an earnest drama about the most ancient of all evils and, as a result, you have a very quirky and darkly bizarre experience. Another way to say it would be that it’s a very polarizing experience.

Of course, it’s not necessarily a bad thing when a film makes you laugh because of incredulity rather than obvious comedy. You’re always thinking about what you just saw, even after the movie is over. It’s much more than a diversion and, in some cases, you have to see it multiple times.

If, for nothing else, than to confirm to yourself that you actually just saw what you just saw.

Actually, there are very few drive-ins left in the world. Those who love viewing movies in this manner can truly appreciate all the work that goes into making a drive in function. Most drive in theaters do not make a lot of money off admission and so they rely on the food that is prepared at their snack bar. But there is a lot going on at the drive-in, so what goes on in the basement?

Well, the basement is where much of the work takes place. Running the move and keeping it running is the biggest function that takes place underneath the scenes at the drive-in.

“Weirdsville,” well on its way to becoming a cult classic, was released at the Slamdance Festival in 2007. This dark comedy follows the absurd adventures that ensue when pair of Canadian stoners tries to cover up their complicity in the death of a girlfriend. Absurdity ensures when their plans to dispose of the body in an old drive in theater are interrupted by a satanic cult who have a bad case of hero-worship for a hippie internet genius.
The movie takes its cue from the efforts of the groundbreaking “Trainspotting,” and the gritty crime drama of author Elmore Leonard. The film’s director, Allan Moyle, has also taken a bite out of Quentin Tarantino. The effect is not so much homage as a loving send-up. It belongs in the category of such dark, quirky gems as “Bubba Ho-Tep,” “Magnolia,” or even the classic “Secret Life of Walter Mitty.”
A movie such as this one is meant to be watched, enjoyed, and dissected. Allan Moyle has created the perfect film for people who delight in oddball news stories and Ripley’s Believe it or Not. Lovers of film will thoroughly enjoy identifying the unlikely mash up of the stoner film, the gothic tale, and the crime drama.

To make matters worse, the drugs belonged to Omar, a drug lord who supplied Dexter and Royce with drugs in order to sell and pay off a debt they owed.

Dexter and Royce realize that they are in a lot of trouble and decide to burry Mattie in a boiler room instead of calling the police and incriminating themselves.
