Something Has Definitely Found Us..........

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2013)

And once the movie gets rolling, we really wish it hadn't! "Cloverfield" is one of the rare cases in which the movie lives up to the hype. I remember when this was being advertised and how little the movie makers revealed in the trailers. However, for whatever reason, I didn't get to see this brilliant film until now(pretty sad, I know). But luckily I was able to fix all of that just now and can honestly say I'm a better movie lover because of it. Everything starts out innocent and normal enough with a group of friends throwing a surprise going away party for their other friend when IT arrives and as soon as it does, all hell breaks lose. Feel the tension as our heroes try to find a messing a friend while battling the ever growing chaos caused by the destruction of the visitor and the breakdown of all law and order. What is this visitor? Well, let's just say that it isn't looking to make friends, that's for sure! What makes the film stand out above everything else is the chilling realism that the filmmakers are able to incorporate into the movie, from the realistic shaking of the camera to the excellent performances of all the actors involved. The more down to the wire things get, the faster and faster our hearts beat. I wish I could say more but this is really one of those movies where the less you know going in, the better (and more bone chilling) it will be. Find it, watch it, and while you're at it, keep watching the skies!!!!
