Watched Super 8 (2011) by an author from letterboxd.com
In 1979 Ohio, several youngsters are making a zombie movie with a Super-8 camera. In the midst of filming, the friends witness a horrifying train derailment and are lucky to escape with their lives. They soon discover that the catastrophe was no accident, as a series of unexplained events and disappearances soon follows. Deputy Jackson Lamb, the father of one of the kids, searches for the terrifying truth behind the crash.

First saw this with my wife in the cinema when it came out and we loved it. I think this might be partly because we were 3 months pregnant at the time and everything was tinged with equal parts optimism and terror…

Watched it today with our (now) 13 and 10 y/os. Our oldest enjoyed the swearing, which was “just like at school” and our youngest loved it even if they were scared multiple times. I think that’s pretty high praise!

★★★★
