If you loved Empire Records, try Weirdsville
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Weirdsville has roughly 12.1× fewer votes than Empire Records — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Allan Moyle, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Empire Records, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Weirdsville is
Stoned roommates blunder into a supernatural cleanup job. Their attempt to hide a mishandled overdose spirals when a botched cult resurrection draws unwanted attention and drug dealers alike. So much for a quiet weekend of snacks and bad decisions.
