It depends on what yer into I guess. It was overall a cheese fest. Although I did enjoy the heads in the fridge. That was cute. The couple were believable I didn't understand the ending. But it killed sometime before bed.
... View MoreI only gave this film 4 out of 10 but..... This film had real potential but was let down by extremely poor audio recording, somewhat poor continuity and bad camera work. You could put this down to the fact that the vast majority of the tasks (Producer, director,cinematographer, sound editor) were all performed by Lex Lybrand. The locations were well chosen and gave added punch to the creepiness of the film, but too bad the lack of stability on the camera and focus distracted this in many ways. In saying that, the story, however, was solid though acting a little weak - this could have been the director's fault though. Even though it came across as a "C" grade (maybe "B") film, I was still captured enough to watch the whole thing - it certainly had the creep factor. I still recommend watching it as supporting micro- budget films is a gateway for these filmmakers to continue to produce more content as well as learn more as they evolve their processes and technical abilities.
... View More"Meet Me There" is an independent horror film that feeds on the innate fear that most of us city dwellers have about small towns. As romantic as the notion is of the quaint, backwater village where everyone knows your name, there's something unsettling about being cut off from the larger population and this film knows that and goes for it head on. Centering on Calvin and Ada (who is revisiting the town she left to try to unearth secrets from her past,) the townsfolk go from simply being unsettling bystanders, to the stuff of your nightmares the ones that make you triple check your doors at night. Just when you're about to breathe a sigh of relief, the movie sets you on edge again. No one is who they seem and the overarching feeling of hopelessness begins to make you wonder if Calvin and Ada would be better off just throwing in the towel. Some of my favorite moments are ones that set you at ease before the terror begins. The banter between Calvin and Ada are lighthearted and realistic, and Lisa and Michael slip into their dialogue effortlessly. Dustin Runnels was phenomenal as the local preacher who can change your expectations at the drop of a hat.While there are definitely some intense scenes, this isn't the unnecessary blood & gore torture porn that's become the norm in the horror genre as of late, but a tense, psychological terror film that makes you double check your car doors and pray you'll never run out of gas on that lonely country highway.
... View MoreMeet Me There is about the relationship of the two main characters, Ada and Calvin, when they fall into some creepy, disturbed, backwoods cult situations. It starts out with the two of them trying to figure out what is wrong with Ada by going back to her hometown (which she seems to have repressed a lot of). Through a bunch of messed up mishaps, they end up being threatened by almost everyone in the small town!The two stars, Lisa Friedrich and Michael Foulk, do a great job bringing realism to the characters and relationship. Dustin Runnels, who plays the Preacher Woodward, is ridiculously creepy.There are a few jump scares, but overall it is the ominous tone, cult sacrifices, and frantic series of events that make this a good horror movie. Beyond that, it is also a cool story about a relationship and self realization.The look is cool, the music pretty and eerie. Definitely worth a watch.
