Fantastic Fest: The Town That Dreaded Sundown(2014)

Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #9

This slasher flick is a remake of a 1976 movie.  Never seen it.  This didn't bring anything fresh to the genre. Just your typical horror where teenagers make out in the car before getting killed.  It's a small town in the border of Arkansas and Texas.  The town's drive-in theatre is showing the original Town That Dreaded Sundown and all of a sudden some kind of copycat is also slashing victims.  It's got an 80's vibe to it.  Kudos for the kill scene using a knife strapped to a trombone
Overall, I didn't connect well with this so I wouldn't personally recommend it.
