I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Went in expecting to bail quickly but this movie is a gem. Engaging, twisted and very entertaining I was scared and laughing which I have not experienced before. Love it, what happened to the possum?
I had a lot of fun watching this movie, and considering the budget and subsequent impossibility of having top actors performing, I think the acting is pretty good. The brothers Ryan did an excellent job writing and directing this movie, and as a previous user wrote, some people are missing the snark.
Dolph Lundgren plays a character you see on TV and is not part of the main plot. A group of young adults and a stoner (Rory Culkin) named Possum (he dropped the "O") camp out in the Emerald Triangle, Northern California known for its pot growers. (Filmed in Louisiana.) Nearby Brock (Bill Sage) and Peggy (Sabina Gadecki) make their own meth using a special formula that allows them to see inter-dimensional alien invaders who they hunt and set traps.When the two groups come together, things don't go well for the unarmed campers.The movie had plenty of killing and blood, including cut up body parts. It was more comedy/maybe dark comedy than sheer horror. The drug crazed characters and their ideas are what carried the tale. Kudos to Rory Culkin who plays a stoned Pauly Shore. There were some clever misspoken lines like, "Why do it wrong once when you can right twice." Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.
Pretty poor overall. Strangely enough the production values are good, just hamstrung by poor writing and uninteresting characters.I completely lost interest near the middle and it only got less enthralling from there. I can't even remember the ending as making dinner became more engrossing than the on screen action - pork ribs and roast veggies beat WELCOME TO WILLITS.There's some pretty weird stuff throughout the film that might hold the interest of some viewers. Some of the makeup was good.Leave this one for film students who want to take notes on what not to do.
