After dinner out on Saturday night, Bruce and I rented a movie that my younger sister, Carol, recommended called Super 8. It is a movie from 2011 about a group of Junior High age kids in a small town outside of Dayton Ohio. It takes place in 1979. The kids are making a zombie monster movie with their Super 8 camera when they inadvertently film a government secret in the back ground with their camera. As a giant insect from outer space terrorizes their town and the Air Force and the local police department struggle to get the situation under control, the young friends save the day. It is one of those movies that, although it will never be considered high quality or an Oscar winner, is great fun to watch. We especially enjoyed the music of the late 70s that was throughout the film. Enjoy the trailer below and make this your Halloween Movie to watch for this fall.
I especially liked the music!
