Simply A Masterpiece

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

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

Okay I did fast forward quite a bit of this movie so some might say I should have been more patient. Really though I tried to but everything about this movie was just rubbish from the storyline to the acting, to the directing to the (the list goes on....)This is only the 2nd review I have done on here but when all the other reviewers gave 8 to 10 stars I thought great, a new movie that really looks good and the fact it was supposed to be a horror with comedy mixed in made it even more promising.Anyway if you don't believe me see for yourself and it will become evident that the other reviewers must be friends or family of the actors or are from the hills where they have no TV's and have never seen a good movie before.

Meet 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.

I was fortunate enough to attend the world premiere of this movie in New Orleans and loved it. I hadn't watched a horror movie in a long time because a lot of the recent ones I had seen previews for seemed to be mostly gore and lacked a story."Meet Me There" is very story-driven and has no unnecessary gore. The story is one many people can relate to, myself included. The couple in it is very realistic and I loved all the stories they told about their life during their road trip.It is well-acted, creepy, and definitely worth a watch! I highly recommend it!

Had the film only been the opening sequence, I still would have rated it just as highly. The opening is striking and original, setting the tone for the rest of the film. The special kind of horror played out isn't simply jump scares and gruesome images, but the kind of unsettling fear that starts as something small settled somewhere deep in the pit of your stomach, nurtured by each scene until it's grown too large to be ignored. There's a staggering sense of humanity woven through the dialogue that grounds the film, reinforcing the idea that something horrible and fantastic could be all too real. Meet Me There is a gorgeous film, both in it's luxe cinematography and it's beautiful, haunting simplicity.
