Sex ●●● Violence ●●● Language ●●● JJ Abrams, the director of Mission: Impossible III and Star Trek, pays homage to Steven Spielberg with a terrific sci-fi mystery that comes across as The
Goonies meets The X Files. In 1979 Ohio, a bunch of youngsters, led by Joel Courtney’s 12-year-old Joe, are making a zombie movie when they witness a devastating train crash. Soon the military are swarming over the site and strange things start to happen. The film has a lovely nostalgic period setting and the special effects are stunning. 2011, 12, 111min
