(2011) Written and directed by J. J. Abrams. Joel Courtney, Riley Griffiths, Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning. (112 min.) PG-13
This story of a crew of misfit middle schoolers filming their own small-gauge zombie movie intentionally evokes those beloved Spielbergy ’70s classics, free of irony and counterfeit cool. Deftly combining sentiment and fright, comedy and suspense, Super 8 celebrates the model builders, monster-makeup obsessives, and amateur directors who, as grown-ups, still populate the dream factory. “The best summer movie of the year—of many years”—Entertainment Weekly.
