I sorta don't mind movies that throw you in the deep end in terms of setting. No explanation, just "Werewolves and ghosts are real, deal with it, you wanna know how our werewolves and ghosts differ from somebody else's? Watch the damn movie, you'll figure it out". And that aspect of Slice totally worked for me. But there was other things that didn't. Things like this playing out more like a couple of back-to-back episodes of a TV show than movie, a TV show we didn't get to watch the first or last episode of. Things like half the actors not being very good at their job. Things like a veritable cornucopia of dropped plot threads. You know, important "good movie" stuff.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
