Recommendations

Total Film
Slasher smarts with guts and heart. Town is no Scream but it’s still one of the most entertaining, enterprising remakes in recent memory. - 60
Empire
Smart, fun, mid-list horror with Scream overtones - 58
The Playlist
While The Town That Dreaded Sundown is ambitious and supremely weird, it fails to cohere into something more resonant. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
An initially promising genre reboot ends up feeling like a major failure of nerve. - 30
Variety
This tediously metatextual exercise conjures few inspired jolts of its own.
