I remember the movie from 1976 and had no idea there was a 2014 movie until I saw it on Amazon Prime. Having found nothing else interesting to watch, I unfortunately began to watch. BIG mistake.
This one was very predictable. You always knew when the killer was going to strike...down to the second. Hardly any suspense. But even in a bad movie, I expect things to be at least somewhat believable. For a town that had suffered multiple murders at night, why, in the last few minutes when Jami and her grandmother are leaving town, is there no police presence on the streets? Nowhere. Come on. That's some BS. And who goes on a trip from Texas to California and leaves at night? That's quite unusual....you leave first thing in the morning, which coincidentally is the SAFEST time of the day in Texarkana. For a town that "dreaded sundown" you sure couldn't tell it...they were out and about all the time after dark (except for the police, of course).
The sex scene seemed to be thrown in just for the hell of it.....sort of out of place even for a slasher film, which I guess is what this one was?
I was so surprised that five established actors actually participated in this POS. Now I wish I had that hour and a half back. Pass on this one, folks.
