Review of Slice (2018) by Thequietgamer — 26 Oct 2018
An '80s inspired horror-comedy with a synth soundtrack that's set in a small town where normal people live alongside classic movie monsters, ghosts, and witches. Very amusing, but the plot is half-baked. A bunch of disparate threads that never quite come together. There are a few plot holes and it's never clear why Chance the Rapper's character is even in this. Everybody in the movie asks why he's around, but Austin Vesely doesn't have an answer for them or us.
The shortcomings in the narrative are a lot like biting into a delicious looking piece of pizza only to find out the crust is kind of stale. But as the old saying (sort of) goes, pizza is a lot like sex. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, well it's still pretty darn good. I had a lot of fun and would love to see another movie set in this universe as the world is worth further exploration. I laughed quite a bit, but I won't deny that the poor writing keeps this still tasty medium one-topping from being anything more than just a bunch of empty calories.
