Young adult fiction - funny and moves quickly.  As his senior film project, Stan is making a film about aliens.  His cast and crew (four people besides himself) are a unique bunch.  During the course of the book, we get background stories on each of them.  As a result, we get to know the characters quite well.Of course, nothing goes as planned.  It is kind of an "if anything can go wrong, it will" situation.  After finding a metal box, which Stan decides to incorporate into his story, they end up spending the night against their will with a hermit, believed to be very dangerous, with some apparent zombies after them.Personally, the book did not thrill me.  But, I think young readers would find it very funny.  I could visualize the events as though they were an actual movie.  Everything was a bit exaggerated, but that is really what the book was all about.Of course, the whole experience changes everyone, making for an interesting ending.I would recommend to young readers - adults may not enjoy it as much. I received a copy of the book in exchange for doing a review.
