The Weed Eaters

Armed with an airtight concept and the carefully budgeted spoils of a successful crowdfunding campaign, New Zealand director Callum Devlin assembled a dedicated team of co-conspirators and fellow multihyphenates to produce his narrative directing debut, a rollicking horror comedy in which four stoner friends discover that the munchies and murder don’t mix… or do they? Chaos and cannibalism ensue when Jules (Alice May Connolly) decamps to North Canterbury farm country with her new boyfriend and his buddies for a toked-out, middle-of-nowhere New Year’s retreat. To their delight, a search of the rental property turns up a hidden stash containing a peculiarly potent strain of weed, and they all settle in for a weekend of high-altitude revelry—but when an accidental death leaves the intoxicated crew scrambling to dispose of incriminating human remains, it’s only a matter of time before the situation spirals dangerously, deliciously out of control.
