"The Town that Dreaded Sundown" (2014)

Synopsis:
Sixty-five years after a masked killer identified as "The Phantom" terrorized the town of Texarkana, the so-called "moonlight murders" happen again. A lonely teenage girl may be the one to stop this mayhem.

Review:
I must say, I'm quite impressed with this film. It's pretty neat and intense and the lead character is actually believable. The storyline is interesting and quite creative.

For a modern slasher flick set in present day, it has a bit of an old school feel to it which is pretty nice. It's also a pretty nice tribute to slasher classics like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974) and "Halloween" (1978). This is definitely an instant horror cult classic in the making.

From what I've heard, this is a remake/sequel to a 1976 horror/slasher classic with the same title. I haven't seen the original but I think this got me interested.

Overall, I really enjoyed this film and I highly recommend it to horror fans.

In the end, I'll say "The Town that Dreaded Sundown" is the most impressive modern slasher flick yet.

Max Scale:
9/10
