Four boys and a girl are making a zombie
film to enter in a film festival.
Just that sentence itself sends out
warning signals but I’ll give it a chance.
They happen to witness and film a train
wreck and there is an alien involved.
It’s not bad, actually, thanks to Joel Courtney who is appealing as the young main character, and Fanning who, as we have seen in other films, is a good child actor, though totally wrong for the role as Mary Shelley. Some of the smaller roles are good too, especially Eldard. The story is entertaining and for a Friday evening sci fi lite it fulfils its mission admirably.
