Doesn't live up to the hype

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2014)

The story of a group of teenagers on their summer break in 1979 in a small Midwestern town in Ohio. While making a movie for a film festival contest they witness a horrific train accident. Fearing punishment from their parents they flee the scene. Shortly after the accident things in town start getting weird. When the government gets involved the local sheriffs deputy (Kyle Chandler) one of the boys father is forced to find out exactly what is going on, and what kind of cargo that train was carrying. Soon after one of the teenagers (Elle Fanning) is taken and her father (Ron Eeldard)put in custody by the government the boys know they have to take matters in their own hands to solve this mystery and find their friend. I liked the story but when push came to shove the special effects were sub par and it didn't give me goose bumps. That stands for something where I come from. It's OK if you have nothing else to do.
