Camping Massacre

 

 (imdb)

4/20 MASSACRE-2018-Two dweebs are searching for marijuana on government land. They find it but one of them seems to be killed by a monster. After the credits, 5 women go camping for one member's birthday. They are warned by Ranger Rick to stay clear of illegal pot farmers. The group meets the dweeb who didn't get killed before the credits. He gives them his stolen weed and after they leave, the monster disembowels him. Later they meet a redneck hunting rabbits. Later the monster (obviously someone in a costume) puts a lit joint in his eye. 

Meanwhile, the women drink and get high. The first camper to die has her bong shoved through her head. Two more are hacked to death. Of course, the ranger is in league with the monster. Jess, the last survivor and birthday girl, meets the rabbit hunter, now blind and he's killed helping her stab the monster. After she kills the ranger, she smokes a joint while a Rap song plays. 

The director/writer Dylan Reynolds is probably out there right now plotting more shitty movies.

Reefer Sadness

A MOVABLE SCENE-1970-This very weird short examines the hippie culture and its use of drugs. It deals with rebellion, non-conforming and understanding and calls marijuana "the common denominator". The narration tries to show the viewpoint of both sides but the whole thing is kind of undone as the narrator is infamous Hollywood pot head actor Robert Mitchum (who was jailed for marijuana possession in 1949).

This was made by Scottish born director William Templeton who wrote TV episodes in America and for the BBC in England. In 1972 he made a much more serious drug expose' FLOWERS OF DARKNESS narrated by Paul Newman. Mitchum was in RYAN'S DAUGHTER the same year as this.
