Welcome to Willits

We gave this a go, so often there are a lot of movies with low(ish) ratings and people may skip over these.

It starts off feeling a bit weak, sure the actors &/or director/s are not stars, yet forgiving some of these shortcomings the plot is actually very serious and is being built from the beginning.

It gets seriously creepy further in.

We enjoyed it as a late night movie with some snacks :-)

Welcome to Willits isn't a perfect film, but most of its flaws come from clear budgetary constraints. The film itself is at times laugh out loud funny and can also be tense and very frightening. While it won't win any awards I found it to be one of the more entertaining horror films I've seen so far this year. If you like insane horror comedies like Tucker and Dale vs Evil or even stuff like Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy give this one a look. It plays very much like a low budget version of those films.

This kind of humor puts off cerfain types of people: those who like to act superior to others, those with a very dry humor, and those with no drug experience.

The quality of this movie has completely missed some of the other reviewers here. If you enjoy those early 2000's raw comedies like Harold and Kumar, aren't offended by drug use, crude jokes and some head bludgeoning - then watch this movie!

Well, just finished watching Welcome To Willits, and the least I can say is that it was an experience. Unfortunately it was not a good one. I wonder if they did it on purpose to make it that bad. That might be a possiblity when I think back about it. There are so much things that are wrong with this movie that it becomes funny. In the days were you can find marihuana like almost anywhere they managed to have the worst imitation fake marihuana ever shown on a filmset. They really didn't know any dopehead to just borrow his weed for a second? I think for that alone they should get a prize. The alien costumes were actually the only things that were okay. The acting was seriously bad, aspecially from Sabina Gadecki as Peggy. That was just unreal how bad it was. I think she might really have been on drugs in this movie. The story is what it is, not the worst but due to all the bad ingredients it's just a terrible movie.

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.
