Let’s Not Meet Serves Up 10 Cold Horror Pizzas

Two horror films released in 2018 revolve around pizza delivery: “Let’s Not Meet” and “Slice” 2018. Both promise to deliver a chilling but hilarious experience. However, both might leave you with cold pizza and possibly a bitter aftertaste. Surprisingly, the allure of pizza delivery in horror movies remains undiminished. However, Mother of Movies, known for enjoying pizza both hot and cold, questions whether Let’s Not Meet was a recipe for disaster.

Despite this, someone with creative prowess could potentially take this concept and craft something exceptional. While I can’t guarantee that LET’S NOT MEET will provide the same satisfaction as a delectable slice of cheesy pizza, they certainly didn’t offer me a satisfaction guarantee either.

Let’s Not Meet Movie Will Leave Your Pizza Cold

The opening scenes of the Let’s Not Meet movie start with a trio of friends settling in for the night, only to find the fridge devoid of anything except alcohol. For many, this discovery might have been exciting at a younger age, with no reason to feel disheartened. However, the initial disappointment fades as they remember the option of ordering in.

In the opening scenes I initially thought that the acting wasn’t too bad — sure, sentences seemed a little bit too spaced apart— but the lines delivered straightforwardly weren’t mumbled. The writing even seemed better than average, with plausible scenarios. For a little while, I thought maybe this could break my good horror movie drought.

Watching Too Much Bad Horror

As more minutes ticked by in “Let’s Not Meet”, that slow-mo feeling remained, and I couldn’t quite work out why it was so annoying. Is this effect produced on purpose, or was it done in the editing process? Did they hold up cue cards with the script on them in between conversations… I dunno but it’s weird and I decided I didn’t like it. Then there’s the camera work.

Alongside the unconventional narrative, each line is delivered with a swift change of the camera. As each person has something to say, the camera promptly refocuses on the next speaker. Every unfolding action centers on the individual involved. Have you noticed how certain films make references to actions or sounds occurring off-camera? In this case, what’s happening is either deliberately left unseen or deemed unimportant for a shot. With each new pan of the camera, it almost feels as though anyone not speaking or engaging in action becomes akin to a statue.

A heavy bunch of minutes passed and I remained hopeful for this technique smoothing out. It’s very distracting. It’s almost like they wanted to make a POV or found footage film but decided not to.

Lady Heroes Get the Boys When They Prefer the Milkshakes

In any case, the best thing about this film is the story. The character development is nicely done and for a low-budget horror flick, this is not unworthy of a sneaky peek. If you like your heroes to be tough girls who give a bit to save everyone, then you might appreciate this. I personally would have liked to see everyone a few more people die but that’s just me. On the upside, maybe you like cold pizza. In that case, here’s an excellent recipe for cold pizza dip. Eat it and watch your movie.
