Handheld in a monster movie.

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2018)

Cloverfield is a good film. Like The Blair Witch Project it puts you in the midst of the action with a camcorder. 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.
