Movie Reviews

The Film Stage - 8/10 by Bill GrahamWhile its tone wildly varies, when it comes to the glut of horror remakes, it's a slight step ahead of the standard batch.
TheFilmFile.com - 8/10 by Dustin PutmanRegardless of the identical title, "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" isn't some pointless Xerox copy of its '76 predecessor, but a dynamic, atmospherically shot thriller with a perceptive knack for time, place and methodically mounting unease.
The Skinny - 8/10 by Chris FyvieDutch angles, dual-focus, dream sequences and at least one belting tracking shot invoke B-movie masters in a film that's way more stylish and thoughtful than one might expect.
Total Film - 8/10 by Matt GlasbySlasher smarts with guts and heart. Town is no Scream but it’s still one of the most entertaining, enterprising remakes in recent memory.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Wendy IdeNot a straight remake of the 1976 cult horror movie, The Town That Dreaded Sundown is more a self-referential homage that takes the original film's legacy and embellishes it.
Glenn Dunks - 7/10 by Glenn DunksThe Town that Dreaded Sundown is perhaps the first of its kind: it is both a sequel and a remake, and in both cases it improves upon its original.
Variety - 7/10 by Guy LodgeThis tediously metatextual exercise conjures few inspired jolts of its own.
The Playlist - 7/10 by Drew TaylorWhile The Town That Dreaded Sundown is ambitious and supremely weird, it fails to cohere into something more resonant.
Observer (UK) - 6/10 by Jonathan RomneyWith its small-town atmospherics, a juicy supporting cast of character players, plus Addison Timlin's personable, plucky "final girl", this Town is pulled off with polished, enjoyable brashness ...
Scotsman - 6/10 by Alistair HarknessKnowledge of the first film probably helps, but it's a nifty little genre experiment nonetheless.
