In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth - something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

• Digital Copy: Sampled on an iPhone 4, this digital copy yields surprisingly rich sound. Music is full and balanced, light ambience is nicely integrated, dialogue is steady, and heavy sound effects -- including the train derailment -- are fair but obviously a bit muddled and absent the precision the Blu-ray offers. The image is crisp, colorful, and nicely detailed. It holds up rather well on the small screen and displays minimal compression issues.
