One of the better found footage films.

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2018)

The good thing about Cloverfield is that it puts you smack in the middle of the action without any pretense. Not many found footage films do this and suffer as a result. This is good because the immediacy of the situation is well realized and the chaos truly captured. In a nutshell a giant creature wrecks havoc on the big apple(yet again) and we are with a group of 20 somethings when it happens. The pacing is what makes this film- I remember watching for the first 20 minutes nothing happens and then once the carnage begins it's a roller coaster. The actors are all adequate and the effects are quite good. If you want good entertainment Cloverfield is the movie for you.
