Drop dead Hollywood

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2011)

Kids witness a train crash that starts series of weird happenings in a small town. Doesn't sound too original, but expert storytelling really glues you to the chair, I love watching these kids obsess with zombie-movie making, great young actors, great character development. Adult support cast is solid too. Effects - flawless as can be expected at this day and age.
Yes, this should be a GREAT movie. It really starts superbly and it keeps the pace till the last third. And then suddenly it fumbles. I suspect rewrites due to studio/producer pressure as usual. And that made ending nonsensically Spilberg-ish and dropped overall value of the movie to an average. What a shame.
