Director of the seen Pump Up The Volume and Empire Records, Allan Moyle is back in the spotlight with a film that has not found a place in our cinemas and which, therefore, has landed now in the shelves : Weirdsville or the story of two branleurs finding themselves in spite of themselves, in a story of a crackpot on a background of satanism and attacks of dwarves, rabid. So, if some films do not deserve not even to be viewed on a screen of 17 cm, Weirdsville does not deserve such punishment.

If in the background the footage, mid-american mid-canada brings nothing crispy with a psychology reduced to its bare minimum, it is in the shape that it gains in credibility. Turning around the drug abuse and its consequences, Weirdsville comes to train with him in this abyss, without, however, succeeding to equal a Requiem For A Dream or Trainspotting. The atmosphere is very well rendered with lighting effects that gives to the photograph a little more, not devoid of charm. If one adds to this atmosphere surrounding a BO-to-measure, that fits perfectly with this framework, filthy and ragged, Allan Moyle shows us, despite a few mistakes of course, he always has this side sparkling which is found at the level of the stage. The players in their side will complete this triptych giving Weirdsville an aftertaste of entertainment admittedly simplistic but a honnêté flawless. We were promised delirium and Weirdsville we provides ! That is all that counts here. A movie to discover that will not disappoint provided that it does not expect the moon and stars. A good understander…
