BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Gordon Mclean The start of this film is so, so good and offers up the promise of a cheap but inventive psycho-horror. This proves not to be the case. Far from it, in fact.Where to begin? Everything is shoddy! The acting is stilted with the lead actress in particular failing to match her emotions with the events occurring around her. The plodding, inane dialogue becomes an endurance test in unnecessarily long scenes. The director clearly has no idea how to use a camera to tell a story - his 'style' is a perfunctory point-and-shoot approach with some bad shot choices, awkward framing etc. The audio is terrible with much of the dialogue dubbed over.Here's the perfect encapsulation of how clumsily and poorly put together this film is: you can hear the director call "Action!" at the start of one shot. How the hell do you make that sort of mistake?! How incompetent do you have to be to not catch that? I won't say much on the plot because I'm not sure what the f*** was going on. I can deconstruct and explain the likes of Lynch's 'Lost Highway' and Kaufman's 'Synedoche, New York' with the best of them but I'm clueless as to what the muddled mess of an ending was about and nothing short of a loaded gun is gonna get me to go back and watch it again.Ignore the high praise of the early reviewers. They're clearly friends and family of the film makers. Not only do many of them have the same location as the film makers (Texas) but they've also signed up just to review this film and talk it up as if it's the Second Coming of horror. It's not. It's truly awful.

begob 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.

RobLazovic I 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.

hbkvixen1 "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.
