Shooting Star

John Shaw just wanted to go fishing and live off the land—now he is one of only a few survivors involved in a horrific crash between a locomotive and a flying saucer.

Stranded in an unforgiving environment, desperate to survive, he and the remaining passengers must outrun and outsmart the alien life forms that are picking them off one by one.

Packed into a tightly woven, ripping yarn, Shooting Star is a beautifully told story of survival and wit as the clash between man and invader intensifies and the end of the human race looms near.

Has a classic horror feel

This would be right at home with those black and white shows or the pulpy Attack of — style 70s flicks. It’s nice when a short relies on building suspense rather than shock or splatter value.
