Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I must admit that I had expected quite something else from this movie.I was under the impression that this movie was about aliens on Earth to stalk and prey upon humans. So I was surprised to find out that it was in fact about drug induced hallucinations about aliens.Now, with that being said, don't get me wrong. Because this is not a bad movie, I just feel that it was very far from what I had expected and been lead to believe.The acting in "Welcome to Willits" was quite good for the most parts. And I do always enjoy watching new faces and talents on the screen, and I can't really claim to be overly familiar with the cast in this movie.The special effects in the movie were actually quite good and really helped the movie along quite a long way.An enjoyable movie for what it was, for sure, but hardly the type of movie that you will watch more than once.

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.

Pretty poor overall. Strangely enough the production values are good, just hamstrung by poor writing and uninteresting characters.I completely lost interest near the middle and it only got less enthralling from there. I can't even remember the ending as making dinner became more engrossing than the on screen action - pork ribs and roast veggies beat WELCOME TO WILLITS.There's some pretty weird stuff throughout the film that might hold the interest of some viewers. Some of the makeup was good.Leave this one for film students who want to take notes on what not to do.

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.
