The movie is as bad as the plot sounds. Aliens growing weed for some special people, testing them out, bla bla.I'm going to go into very few words here, it has no horror elements, tries to induce some tension, some mystery, fails each time, ends predictably. Luckily for me, it has only 75 minutes, so there is an upside to it. The movie itself is avoidable! Only if you're into weed movies, could this pass as a junky cheesy fun!I'm also quite done with stereotypes, all of them present here, the smoker, running away from responsibility, the girl, always trashy and the war "veteran", still facing his inner demons. Can't we do something betters, I mean it is 2016 almost, how many such copy cat movies are we supposed to endure?Cheers!

While I'm not sure I would place this movie in the horror genre, it is DEFINITELY an enjoyable watch. The characters are believable - a little corny at times - but not OVERwritten. They are self-aware enough that the reality checks you wish would happen in these types of films actually do. The scenery is stunning & the visual effects do the job of creating an other-worldly/alternate reality. The story works on multiple levels.The casual watch is engaging, and the messages of the benefits of medical marijuana and the effects of PTSD on returning soldiers resonate on a deeper level. "It's not how high you go that matters,it's where you go" - and this film will, without a doubt, take you on a wild trip!The question is - where do I sign up for the Star Leaf tour? :)

At the start of any B-grade movie review I like to make it clear that I generally love B-grade horror/thriller/action movies. However, this was terrible. Bad acting, bad script, bad editing (at one point you see the actor's mouth move but no audible voice). The horror element is not developed very well, the action is cheap and horrible. The characters are not likable. There were some laughs to be had at how bad it was but mostly it was just bad and cringe-worthy. There is really very little to recommend about this movie. Save your time/money and watch something else. You have been warned. Do not watch this movie unless you have absolutely nothing better to watch or do.

Soldier with combat stress is led by his stoner friends into a forest to partake of a legendary drug, and weird dangers emerge from the undergrowth.Surprising low budget sci-fi hallucinatory type of thing with a message about coming to terms. It doesn't look great, but it's not tediously trippy and the modest effects deliver the menace pretty well. The acting is decent, and while the characters aren't deep there is some nice idiosyncrasy. And the pace is good.The only thing I didn't like was the music - sounded like an '80s TV show.Overall good entertainment and good natured.
