When a local pot farmer is caught up with a wayward group of campers the situation quickly escalates into total carnage. Welcome to Willits is a disappointing comedy, slasher, thriller, horror film or whatever you wanna call it that completely wastes some of it's actors especially Dolph Lundgren but also hardly makes any actual sense as a whole. Viewers will be disappointed.. (0/10)
tfminfl 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.
diablolita More than anything, the film is a commentary on the area (Willits, or just Northern CA in general). Perhaps there's something extra in the film for those of us familiar with that area, but seeing some of the less than glowing reviews below I'm pretty sure that everyone is just missing the snark. The film is incredibly well written and directed, and contains a fair bit of wry, intellectual humor and wit hidden by the gory, overwrought plot. This is why it gets 10 stars out of me. I don't even like horror (but I do like aliens), but I kept incredulously laughing through the whole thing because of sub-commentary that runs through it.
Michael Ledo 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.
