Watched The End of Oak Street (2026) by an author from letterboxd.com
After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.

My kids initially objected to seeing this on the basis that it would be "just like Jurassic Park". It's nothing like Jurassic Park.

People are going to call it "Spielbergian" and I get why but it's not really. It doesn't have the usual crowd pleasing "beats", there's no big set pieces and it's not centred on a male experience.

Swap the dinos for zombies and this is a straight-up survival horror.

★★★½
