Cloverfield by Matt Reeves

Category: English

Monster drops into ocean 1 month earlier, monster activates itself on set day, monster consumes city, monster has parasites, monster is indestructible.

The film itself is made using a shaky camera approach as a result it adds even more to the entire tension. Also, the perspective doesn't change so you literally at times try to cram your head to the edge of the screen to get that little more information. The entire film plays out through a recording. The recording comes from a farewell party for the movie's "protagonist".

The film has so many unanswered questions that obviously we can look forward to a trilogy of films and a ton of other paraphernalia. I liked the film, it's scary, great ambient sounds, almost plays like a perfect game.

Recommendation level: 2.5/5 - For going that extra mile it deserves a reward! Watch it with friends for hours of discussion and "did you see that..." & "I really loved..." moments.
