Slice (2018) is a movie that I finally watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a town that recently had a pizza boy brutally murdered. As the police, town and pizza shop uncover clues on who the murderer is it becomes apparent the pizza shop may be haunted and there may be werewolves in town.

This movie is written and directed by Austin Vesely in hit directorial debut and stars Zazie Beetz (Joker), Chance the Rapper (Space Jam: A New Legacy), Rae Gray (Fear the Walking Dead), Joe Kerry (Stranger Things) and Y'lan Noel (Insecure).

There is so much to like about this movie...and somehow it still ends up being not good. The animation during the opening credits was cool. The first kill and throat slash was worthwhile. It was cool seeing Joe Kerry from Stranger Things in this. The settings and attire are well done as is the lighting and cinematography. Unfortunately after the first kill there really aren't any more good kill scenes. The makeup and "monsters" look cheesy and the script is painful at times. The ending was okay and the use of CGI did not work for me.

Overall, this is a movie that tries to be more stylish than good. I would score this a 4.5/10 and only recommend watching it if nothing better is available.
