Some horror movies are light-hearted and amusing, some are dark and grim. What movies you find personally scary are individual to each and everyone, and probably have a lot to do with your childhood experiences. Sometimes, horror movies can be too personally scary to even watch. To date, I have never watched the movie "Misery" in its entirety, mostly because I have a fear of medical stuff and there weren't any like, horrific monsters in that movie (aside from Kathy Bates' terrific performance). Everyone who's ever read my blog knows I love a good monster flick. :-)
Slice (2018) starts like any good murder mystery begins, with a murder most foul. Someone has slain a pillar of the community, a bastion of good hygiene and classical good looks, a paragon of... okay, they killed a drug-addicted drug-dealing pizza delivery boy. Just sliced his throat wide open from behind, and they don't even give you a good camera angle, so you can't tell who done it. Probably where they got the movie name from. Play on words. Slice of a throat, and a slice of pizza. Get it? Funny stuff. There's a few more murders after that, all pizza delivery people. Strangely, they all even work for the same fast-food pizza joint. Strange coincidence! :-o
I saw this on one of the showtime channels, if you want to catch it yourself. Special effects were pretty basic, and the acting wasn't exactly stellar. I love that the whole town of Kingfisher in the movie is basically a haven for ghosts, and they advertise that they haven't seen a witch, werewolf or demon in ages! Which, I suppose is a good selling point if you're hoping to move there. I mean, who wants to live in a town with a witches, demons and werewolves? Ghosts are bad enough, amirite? Not a bad watch, kinda funny, entertaining enough for at least one viewing, I should think. Two, probably not, but once is good.
That's all for tonight. Gettting late, and I needs my sleepies. :-)
