As great as it was seeing a good old classic 80s-style monster movie, I still felt this movie ultimately went nowhere and did nothing particularly new. The entire movie builds up to the reveal of what was in that train, but nothing ever really happens, and there is basically no concluding act, it just ends. The "kids filming a movie" element is awesome, but it doesn't affect anything, and the action is well-made and loud, but you've seen it all before. I feel really bad criticizing this movie, because for once this wasn't a reboot or a remake, and because I love sci-fi and monster movies like this... but you're going to have to do more than mash up a bunch of clichés to revive the genre.
