Let's Not Meet

Bad acting, bad writing, bad timing, and camera work, confusing plot. Other than that it was just ok. I know nothing about making movies, directing, or producing. But I swear 3 high school kids made this movie with 10 grand using the people in their neighborhood.

Not as good as what I would expect from a high school film project. Bad writing, worse acting and directing. And as usual for films like this a story that makes abdolutely no sense.

I've seen better acting in junior high drama class. If my child made this as their film school project I'd stop sending money for tuition. Boring and underdeveloped plot and characters. Terrible acting that is more like awkward recital of barely memorized lines. Poor camera and lighting quality. Choppy edits.

They should have made a found footage to help hide their poor talent.

Okay, here's the deal. A low budget movie doesn't earn a pass exclusively because it was made with little cash. It deserves whatever review it gets based on how engaging and entertaining it is. Enter the indie demonic horror flick "Let's Not Meet". This dude Ryan Callaway had an idea for a film. Then he wrote and directed the damn thing. Yeah, so it's not gonna be nom'd for an Oscar. However, it is also not a total piece of crap.

The no-name acting troupe is not entirely devoid of talent, the subversive plot can't be roundly dismissed and the get-your-kicks quotient is not nearly negligible. Which, let's be real, is a helluva lot more than you can say about FAR too many multi-multiplex mega money mediocre to miserable big budget a-BOMB-inations.

So there.

2 out of 10. One for the girl with the red hair that could act, and one for the cool-looking monster. 'Nuff said.
