Meet Me There (2014)

Nice effects though.

best movie i've ever seen.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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.

A hopeful couple try to figure out their mutual sex problem by retracing her repressed past on a visit to her rural hometown.Good concept, nice actress, story a bit cliché - but terrible direction/editing/writing. I assumed the latter three were down to the lead actor, and was willing to give him credit for having the dumb determination to put this mess together, but IMDb says several people were responsible.Low budget, so allowances are made. But the major problem is the director set the actors up for long, static scenes with lots of patchy dialogue - some interesting, the rest unnecessary. Sitting. Standing. Walking slowly. Focus comes and goes. There is an excellent shot early on, with the men back-to-back in the field, which gave me hope. But the story died on screen and, I guess, was already dead on the page.Music atmospheric, nothing special, and the singing was pleasant enough to outshine everything else.OK ending, but bad story telling ruined the experience well before that.

"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.

Mostly a horror flick, yeah, but there's funny moments in here, too. That's important to keep in mind when reading about a movie like Meet Me There. I was uncomfortable at times (in a good scary movie kind of way). I was weirded out at times (in a good scary movie kind of way). I was grossed out at times (in a good scary movie kind of way). I also laughed a few times (bonus!). The acting was pretty great and I enjoyed the locations as well. Looking forward to more from the actors, writer, and director who combined forces for this project. I saw this film during Wrestlemania weekend in New Orleans and it was one of the best things I witnessed (and Wrestlemania was awesome so that's saying something special). Thumbs up, this is a good (and bizarre) movie.
