A quick review, no spoilers. I went into this expecting lots of suspense, scary scenes, monsters, jump-out-of-your-seat shocks. While there were a few "in your face" scenes, it was more like "ET" than "Aliens." The PG-13 rating sort of gives it away, not too much blood, no guts, no obvious beheadings. Even some nice family resolution moments, which you know will happen from the very first scene. It's sort of a feel-good monster movie. It's done quite well, the dialogue of the kids (it involves six young teenagers as the main protagonists) rings true as do the music, cars and clothes. The movie takes place in 1979 and they paid close attention to the details of that time frame. It's even funny, which I wasn't expecting.
I gave it a B. Just know that it isn't "Alien" but then it's pretty tough to top that movie in terms of the creep-out scare factor.
Temp: it was 106 today in Grand Prairie. Suppose to cool down to 85 tonight.
