A poor concept that is barely half thought out (perhaps conceived while high?) and never properly explained.

Weak writing that leaves you not liking a single character in the film (especially the one they are desperate for you to like). Far too much time spent establishing characters and giving you their backstory for very little point (many horror movies do this but nearly as much as this one).

Awful acting pretty much across the board. Their is the odd exception but those people are not on screen enough to make a difference.

The only good things to say for it are the opening scene is interesting and the film looks quite good.

But oh boy does it get ridiculous by the end. Especially all the goofy mime stuff. And the fact that that one character's parts were fed to that stupid murder weed when clearly....wait, what?! And the newspapers...what was the point of the newspapers?!?! And Manicure Lady was excessively Vanderpumping her silliness with a creepy Klimt? Then murder weed's A-frame turned white. Ok. Sure

That is the level of cohesiveness one can expect from a movie outline clearly conceived on the devil's lettuce and a script clearly written while passing the dutchie on the left-hand side. And what exactly is the message - other than weed can do anything including prematurely aging your forearms and while giving you the power to get people to act like moronic marionettes 400 feet away? Or was it that pot leads to witchcraft and fingernail fungus?

Who knows. Dumb movie.

It's not very often cannabis and horror go together. We all remember Reefer Madness, and the explempification of evil that came along with that story. To gorify cannabis and demonize the nature of the industry at the same time seems, hit and miss to say the least. The trim season team took the responsibility to turn a nightmare into a pretty well done story. For avid fans of blood and gore this story will seem like Cinderella. It has its HG Lewis and D. Argento moments. For those wanting a new take on the nature of an industry that is plagued. And, im not speaking of film. But. Plagued with callous. Trim season is a great entry for how story telling is done. Using cinematography to metaphor the hardships business owners go through. Using the spin of witchcraft, demon possession as a teachable moment is pretty crafty. To do it in a palpable way, is not easy. The gorification of cannabis in 2023, is pretty brave. Cannabis. It is the drug business. And it should be taken seriously. More than that. It is a fun film to watch with your friends.
