Time-traveling dinosaur movie looks like a lot of fun
by Grant St. Clair · Boing BoingSometimes, all you need for effective horror is a good pitch. David Robert Mitchell understood this with his modern horror classic It Follows, where the monster can be explained in three seconds but the tension lasts for an entire film. His newly-announced project The End of Oak Street is… a bit more complex.
Out of nowhere, an entire neighborhood is plucked from idyllic suburban existence and dropped into prehistory — or some other unexplained horror phenomenon that's doing a really good impression of prehistory, what with all the dinosaurs. Speaking of great impressions, check out that American accent from Ewan McGregor!
If nothing else, it's nice to finally see another dinosaur movie that doesn't fall under the Jurassic Park umbrella.
