Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local deputy tries to uncover the truth, something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

Fun adventure film
This is a true Steven Spielberg film in that its plotline constitutes an adventure film, but it's really about family. Two kids on the verge of adolescence are going through a rough patch with their fathers. One father is mourning the recent loss of his wife, and the other is a troubled alcoholic. The two kids become friends through unlikely circumstances, and although their fathers hate each other, the kids become confidantes and allies. It's a good thing too, because all is not well in town. A huge train crash that nearly kills them sets off a chain of events involving missing persons, stolen technology, a secretive operation by the Air Force, and eventually the complete evacuation of the town. Stay tuned during the film credits to see the homemade zombie movie that the kids have been working on.
Super
A fine sci-fi action flick with a few laughs and a lotta heart. A-.
