Weirdsville
A Strange Place to Find Yourself
Nothing much happens in the lives of slackers Dexter (Scott Speedman) and Royce (Wes Bentley) besides getting high and hanging out with Royce’s girlfriend Matilda (Taryn Manning). This all changes one wintry Northern Ontario night when Mattie overdoses on a stash of Dexter and Royce’s drugs – unfortunately, drugs fronted by local kingpin Omar, which they’ve recklessly agreed to sell in order to cover their previous drug debt.
When Matilda, a part-time hooker, appears to fatally overdose, the two men Dexter and Royce reluctantly agree they should bury her in the boiler room of a drive-in where Dexter was employed. Fortunately, they discover that Matilda is still alive before they bury her; unfortunately, they don't make this discovery until after they've interrupted some novice Satanists in the act of carrying out their first human sacrifice. Things get worse when they run afoul of drug kingpin Omar, and also incur the wrath of an angry mall security guard.

Stupid, in the best way possible! - RobBC
I really wanted to dislike this slacker comedy from Ontario, but after the first 20 minutes I gave up and joined in the laughter. It concerns two junkies who try and bury a body in the basement of a drive-in......but then they run into this Satanic cult who need to perform a human sacrifice......then there’s this army of militant midgets dressed like Vikings... Well, you get the idea. It takes a lot of brains to write something this stupid and actually pull it off. Sure, this distinctly Canadian comedy could have used a bit of polish, but then it would have turned into an American comedy. A really funny little gem...be sure to stay for the final credits!interesting Canadian indie - crabbydude
Good black humour Canadian flick. Set in Northern Ontario, this unlikely gang of misfit folks seem to stumble through virtually every aspect of their evening. Yes, it's based pretty much as a one night story with enough background for it to make sense. If you like that genre, this is a great rental for a few laughs, some pretty cool character development, and just enough reality to make you cringe now and then.Great little canuck indie film - wongnog
This movie definitely has an indie feel to it, with a set of quirky and weird characters but the leads Scott Speedman and Wes Bentley have an amazing chemistry that helps make this little Canadian flick shine. I caught a screening of this at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival and laughed the entire way through. Highly recommended, go support this movie!
