Small towns aren't just weird, they're weird in a way that's completely unique and unsettling, and that's something that Meet Me There understands perfectly. From the moment that Calvin and Ada arrive in town, this movie is relentlessly unsettling, keeping everything on edge with exactly the kind of creepy atmosphere that you get in those weird, out of the way places that either drive people out or absorb them into their own weirdness, and it's a thrill to watch Calvin and Ada, particularly Ada, struggle with trying to escape only to be dragged back in again and again.
Also, it probably goes without saying, but Dustin Runnels (the WWE's Goldust) is absolutely amazing in his role as a preacher who effortlessly moves from folksy to terrifying, sometimes in the span of a single scene. Great stuff, and well worth watching.
