Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

The film makers are trying to do the whole self-referencing meta commentary on horror thing that Scream did and to a lesser extent the original…

Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 15 Apr 2015

This is an exercise in nostalgia as much as bloodletting. The filmmakers are paying their very own tribute to teen-horror pics of the 1970s…

Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Wendy Ide (1,500) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 15 Apr 2015

Not a straight remake of the 1976 cult horror movie, The Town That Dreaded Sundown is more a self-referential homage that takes the original…

Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for Guardian (4,584) on 15 Apr 2015

It's an odd, if somewhat original, way of playing with sequel conventions: the plot exists in a reality where the original film also exists…

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 15 Apr 2015

A film that bounds towards the cult appeal of those self-reflexive horror classics, but agonisingly doesn't quite stick the landing…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 14 Apr 2015

This isn't only another rote slasher movie, full of ridiculous coincidences and obvious red herrings: it's actually worse than that, yet thinks…

Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Tom Huddleston (600) for Time Out (7,510) on 12 Apr 2015

A clever concept and stylish execution (in both senses) aren't quite enough to make this achingly meta remake/reboot/sequel stand out from…

Review of The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2014)

By Matt Glasby (349) for Total Film (3,532) on 12 Apr 2015

Slasher smarts with guts and heart. Town is no Scream but it’s still one of the most entertaining, enterprising remakes in recent memory…

Starts with a promising beginning, but soon turns into another horror cliche remake. The directing is good and so is the acting…
