The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)



A beautiful early but somewhat unusual entry into the slasher genre where the story evolved more with a crime drama cum thriller approach. The killer wearing a potato-sack mask & his breathing making the mask going in and out, nevertheless his sweet 'murder-by-trombone' made it a fantastic gem to watch for any true slasher fan. But the thing that I like to appreciate here most is its addition of docu style narrative elements that I think nicely helped to develop the tension & intensity of the story in an unique way in compare to any other slasher favorites. Though it'd be now may sound bit cliche & meaningless but I think it won't be a bad idea if they could use this style in the Friday the 13th remake which might make them to treat the whole story in a completely different fashion and who knows..that could made the 12th installment of that popular franchise a bit interesting to watch.

Anyway, I really loved this town that dreaded sundown.

Neighbor (2009)



Most of the scenes full with tortures & gore but as usually it lacks in character & mostly on story.
