THE MOVIE<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

65 years after a series of brutal slayings terrorized the small town of Texarkana, the \u201cMoonlight Murders\u201d suddenly begin again. While on a trip to Lovers\u2019 Lane, 17-year-old Jami (ADDISON TIMLIN) watches as her date is brutally slain by a masked serial killer. Barely escaping with her life, she becomes obsessed with finding the man referred to as \u201cThe Phantom.\u201d As the body count climbs and the carnage comes closer, Jami delves deeper into the mystery, following clues that point her toward the killer\u2019s true identity.<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Town That Dreaded Sundown<\/em><\/strong> arrives on Blu-ray through RLJ Entertainment presented with a 1080p high-definition transfer and in its original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio. The picture quality is, for the most part, fine but it does have give off a waxy appearance in some spots to go along with a goldish\/rustic tint as well. Detail levels though aren\u2019t bad and other some minor bouts of banding, it appears to be a clean transfer.

AUDIO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The movie takes advantage of the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track showcasing the numerous blood-curdling screams to the ambient noises making use of the rear channels. Dialogue sounds crisp and clean while Ludwig Guransson\u2019s score provides for the right horror atmosphere.<\/p>\n
