Very Intense!

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2009)

I remember when I first saw the trailer for this. There was no title for this film. I was anxious to view this film. Over a year and a half later, I finally got the chance. This is very good. It is filmed as if this movie is reality: a hand-held camera, unknown people screaming, etc.
The beginning is calm and peaceful. There is a party being held for Rob, the main character, because he is leaving for work in Japan. All the sudden, trembling begins and an oil tanker is capsized. It was caused by a gigantic, Godzilla-like monster. Now, NYC is being evacuated. But someone is trapped.....
The actors did a great job. Most of these actor are relatively unknown. I had the feeling that these actors were actually scared. Towards the end, there are great special effects. Also, the monster scared me. It looked like an ugly beast with the cross between Godzilla and an elephant.
I was disappointed about a few things. There was no music to add to the suspense and the camera was a little shaky at times.
Overall, this is an intense film that fans of horror movies will like. I rate this movie 9/10.
