    Seems weird that they would call a movie THE TOWN and then never name the town. Was it Tampa? New York? Seattle? They never say. I suppose the point is it could have been any town.

    186.) The Town that Dreaded Sundown This movie was probably mad scary in one hyperspecific place at one hyperspecific time Iunno what the hell it wanted to be. A documentary? Buddy cop comedy? Slasher? Gone all-in on the last it would've been decently entertaining, but as-is it's just muddled.
