It's good!
Go in expecting a movie closer to a slightly scarier Goonies or ET instead of a monster flick and you will love it. Third act falls apart slightly, but the interaction between the kids in the first 2/3 is really fun so I didn't care about the flaws at the end.
Also stay during the beginning of the credits!

Seriously. Too many people are asking "Is this like cloverfield?" No. The only similarity is they both have monsters with extra arms in them. This is a movie where a group of kids go on an adventure to solve the mystery of why the train was derailed while making their zombie movie for a film festival. If you go in expecting a monster movie you're gonna be disappointed.
That's not to say there isn't a monster, it's just that it's less important than the kids and their story.

Inviso-spoiler-text ahoy!
Yes. They spent like a third of the movie trying to find out why old man Woodward derailed the train, why the military was in town, and what was going on with the electricity.
Alice's kidnapping was the start of the final act, which I admitted already was weaker than it could have been because they did not fully tie the monster's story to the kids, nor did they provide resolution to the father/son conflict and acceptance of the loss of Joe's mother as strongly as they could have. I feel like we'll probably get a director's cut that touches on some of these issues.

for once I'm going to avoid reading the spoiler text.
