Slice (2018)

Hope everyone is doing okay out there in this wild, wacky, dangerous weather world at the moment! While running for the bus I took a spectacular face plant into a snow drift, in front of countless people. I'll keep an eye out on the internets to see if anyone caught that epic fail on video...

That's the worst of my stories and I'm grateful. Stay safe folks, hang tight. 

If you're looking for something to do while the snow is blowing and you're stuck inside, then I think I found a little gem for you. Let me introduce you to: 

Slice


The movie opens with a narrator quipping about their sweet little town being overrun by ghosts, and then things got really weird when the werewolf showed back up.

I was all: 

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Ghosts AND Werewolves. Sign me the f*ck up!

The story unfolds around a pizza parlor where the delivery crew are suddenly being brutally murdered on delivery doorsteps. Things just get morbidly delightful from there. Hop into the blood bath folks, we're going in for a fun soak!

It's a silly movie with a lot of heart and a whole lot of ghosts. There's so many ghosts in town that the mayor starting moving their living quarters to another part of town. Some still linger in the town square though, harassing the locals with vague prophecies. The ghosts are a 'hoot' and a quirky little aspect of the film that I found both odd and charming. 

The werewolf though - it's not like a werewolf you've seen before, I can assure you. 

Oh, did I mention there were also witches?! 

According to IMDB, this movie was originally intended to be a TV series, which would account for the interesting edits and ending. It's all fine, just a little *interesting*. The ending also felt rushed but whatever. It's still fun. Grab a beer and calm down, it's fun. 

Overall, this is a film for those that don't like the hardcore horror, or those just looking for something a little more lighthearted for a lazy afternoon. 

Naturally, this one HAS to pair with pizza. Best watched in a quiet setting alone or with a small crowd and let the good times roll. 

I watched this film for free on Kanopy, or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's sidebar for where else you can find this kindly smirk of a feature.
