In Weedsville, Ontario, friends Royce (an ideas guy) and Dexter (the quiet, introspective one of the two) are slacker druggies. In Dexter owing their drug dealer Omar $1,700, Royce, with the help of his friend Mattie (who many people, including Omar, "mistakenly" believe is a hooker), has made a deal with Omar to sell some of his drugs for him in the profit amount of what Dexter owes as payment. Mattie, who is also a druggie, came up with the idea having a secondary plan in mind to pay back Omar. She is aware that wealthy Jason Taylor, who is currently in the hospital with his wife Irene standing 24-hour vigil there leaving their house empty, does not believe in banks and keeps his money in a safe in the house. As Mattie knows the safe combination, the three of them can steal the money and thus keep Omar's drugs for their own consumption. As the week progresses with the three awaiting the right time to make the heist, Mattie overdoses on the drugs and dies. As Royce believes going to the authorities to report Mattie's death is not an option, he and Dexter have to find a way to dispose of her body. In the process of getting rid of Mattie's body, Royce and Dexter witness a criminal act by a group of Satanic cultists led by Abel, who they knew casually in high school. Following, Royce and Dexter have to evade both the cultists who are after them with Abel proverbially knowing "where they live", and Omar, who Dexter cannot now pay back no longer having the drugs or the combination to the safe.

| Globe and MailJennie PunterDark and devilishly clever, director Allan Moyle's Weirdsville is a twisted caper comedy. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonI kept wishing for a rewrite that sent the Satanists packing and pulled the love story hiding within Wennekers' script to the fore. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWeirdsville is an enjoyable screwball crime thriller with a witty script, inventive direction and superb comic performances. |
| Little White LiesJonathan WilliamsFunny, well-acted nonsense. The best kind of quirkiness. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI was laughing well into the film's third act, when most films stop being funny. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe film jumps around following the misadventures of the characters, and the whole enterprise comes to be frenetic and convoluted rather than pleasingly impudent. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanDirector Allan Moyle travels a quirky road too often trod by aspirant indie pics. |
| BBC.comFairn RobertsA quirky, amusing caper that shouldn't work, but somehow does. |
| Film4Matt GlasbyA pleasingly gonzo black comedy pitched somewhere between Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead Stoned and Dude, Where's My Crack? |
| GuardianAndrew PulverIt's pretty amusing stuff - though it could have been a lot funnier if they had resisted the temptation to shoehorn in quite so many plot twists. |
