Stupidity with a side of gruesome

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2020)

07Mar2020 {1/10stars = F} Recommend? No; Stupid plot for a horror/sci-fi/thriller movie with kids in the starring roles. Reckless use of a firearm that is aimed at children. Anyone that does not like bloody gruesome horror/thriller movies should avoid this one.
I did not choose to start watching this movie. I happened to be present while this movie was playing so I typed this review. If I had chose to watch the movie I would have stopped it in the first few minutes when a few kids are shown in a brief scene of the zombie movie they are making. Not worth sitting through this dumb movie to see the mildly touching ending. I do not watch zombie, horror or thriller movies and this was everything I don't like to watch wrapped up in one movie.
The MPAA rating for this is PG-13, Hulu has it rated as TV14. 13/14 years old should be the youngest kids that should watch this movie. Any younger and the kids may find the movie too scary.
CONTENT ADVISORY: Jesus said as expletive several times, God's name said in vain several times, f'word, sh't said various ways, dumbass, p(u)ssy said twice as insult from one boy to another, son of a b'tch, what the hell, cigarette smoking, bottle of hard liquor shown open followed by drunk guy driving that results in a bad bloody accident that is shown, bottle of beer being drank.
Donny the camera store cashier trying to sell pot to one of the minor boys and the boy refuses, Donny smoking pot while parked in the drivers seat of his car. US Air Force soldier shown killing man with an intravenous injection for not telling them information they wanted, kids shown breaking into their school, Air Force soldier shown killed by alien with a lot of blood smeared on window.
It is slowly revealed as the movie plays what is snatching people and making them disappear. It is a large, gruesome and scary looking alien shown snatching people and causing destruction. The alien and what it looks like is slowly revealed throughout the movie. At first the snatching of people seems scary. As the movie plays revealing it's absurdity and the mildly touching ending the movie is not as scary as it first appears.
Absurdly massive Hollywood style trainwreck shown with a lot of explosions, peril and danger to the kids that are present when the wreck happens. Boys initially think the girl with them was killed by the trainwreck. Guy pointing revolver at the kids threatening to shoot them so they will leave the trainwreck site.
Kids making a zombie movie with fake blood shown pouring from a zombie kids mouth after being killed, girl that is going to act as a zombie bites one of the boys on the neck leaving a scratch, zombie kid shown being shot by realistic cap gun revolver with fake blood on clothing. The zombie movie the kids are shown filming plays during the credits. The zombie movie is a lot cleaner and less gory than the Super 8 movie they are starring in.
