At first I thought it was a bad joke that they're were going to remake one of the oldest slashers there is but it's actually not just a cheap DTV effort. Instead of a straight up remake they interweave the first movie into this which is a nice tribute and Alfonso Gomez-Rejon direction gives it an unusual touch. Unfortunately the movie never really gets to bloom and takes the easy way out whereas it could have been the best slasher in quite some time with a a more creative approach. Apparently they had to cut 15 minutes of the's runtime which is rather sad and also occasionally makes itself noted in the editing. I hope there will be a DC released one day because I'm curious of what's been left in the cutting room.

After viewing "The Town That Dreaded Sundown," I had high hopes for a thrilling horror movie that would keep me on the edge of my seat. However, the film turned out to be a letdown, with a twist at the end being the only moment of intrigue. The rest of the movie felt drawn-out, absurd, and uninteres More

_**A copycat killer is on the loose in Texarkana**_

It has been 67 years since The Texarkana Moonlight Murders of 1946 and a new “phantom killer” surfaces with copycat attacks, usually occurring during “lovers’ lane” scenarios.
