Rating: 3/5 --
This is an exercise in nostalgia as much as bloodletting. The filmmakers are paying their very own tribute to teen-horror pics of the 1970s.

Rating: 3/5 --
A clever concept and stylish execution (in both senses) aren't quite enough to make this achingly meta remake/reboot/sequel stand out from the slasher pack.

Time Out
4 stars out of 5 -- Irreverent but fully conversant with the slasher rulebook, the 2015 TOWN somehow manages to be scary, gory and funny.

Rating: 3/5 --
A film that bounds towards the cult appeal of those self-reflexive horror classics, but agonisingly doesn't quite stick the landing.

Rating: 2/5 --
It's an odd, if somewhat original, way of playing with sequel conventions: the plot exists in a reality where the original film also exists. But outside of knowing winks, this is cookie cutter carnage.

Rating: 3/5 --
With 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 ...

Rating: C+ --
While its tone wildly varies, when it comes to the glut of horror remakes, it's a slight step ahead of the standard batch.
