Welcome to Willits (2016)

I wasn't expecting much, so I was very surprised that it was quite good, in that low budget horror comedy movie kinda way. And also, another movie that proves camping is stupid... It all begins with some young people, chilling out in the woods, doing those types of things, well it turns out they are camping out on some dudes pot farm. Funny thing, the start of the film plays a old timey type PSA about the dangers of marijuana, and yup there is a fair amount of Mary Jane in the flick, the problem lies in the drug of choice of the pot farmer, Crystal Meth. And so its on this night that the kids be partying that he is tweaking out on meth and mistakes the party goers for aliens, ooops. And yes, the farmer, Brock, does get abducted from time to time, it happens to coincide with his meth use, i don't know if thats important or not, but its during these abductions that Brock is forced to watch a TV cop show, and the characters seem to know more than they should!! And wait is that Ivan Drago in the TV show playing Dolph Lundgren??? Filmbufftim on FB.

I must admit that I had expected quite something else from this movie.I was under the impression that this movie was about aliens on Earth to stalk and prey upon humans. So I was surprised to find out that it was in fact about drug induced hallucinations about aliens.Now, with that being said, don't get me wrong. Because this is not a bad movie, I just feel that it was very far from what I had expected and been lead to believe.The acting in "Welcome to Willits" was quite good for the most parts. And I do always enjoy watching new faces and talents on the screen, and I can't really claim to be overly familiar with the cast in this movie.The special effects in the movie were actually quite good and really helped the movie along quite a long way.An enjoyable movie for what it was, for sure, but hardly the type of movie that you will watch more than once.

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.

With bad acting, fun B-movie gore and special effects, and some ridiculously bad writing, this film is admittedly not good but still can provide some entertainment. While I enjoyed the gore which is clearly a portrayal of classic 70's/80's slasher films, non-gore scenes were too painfully bad in spots to make this a good movie. Basically a group of young adults camp near a marijuana farm in Northern California, and they soon get caught in a calamity of aliens and murderous meth addicts. The story is unique and I definitely liked the premise, but it had too many flaws to really blow me away.Like I said, I enjoyed the gore and the unique premise, most of the rest of the film was pretty bad. Acting was terrible all around with the exception of one of the actors. The scenes in between the gore/action/kills was also painful to watch, with poorly written dialogue, and scenes of conversations that I found boring and felt like skipping to get to the kills. Some of the plot-lines were also totally un-needed, one in particular is so out there I almost laughed. But with that said, I still enjoyed the majority of the film.I would recommend it if you have nothing better to watch.
