Monsters in real life

Rating: 9/10 (8 October 2010)

Wow, this movie blew me away. All those that rate it low complain about the shaky camera, the missing information about the monster and the sudden ending.
And all I could think was: This is probably what it would be like if a monster actually showed up at your doorstep. You would have little or no information about it, you would try to escape but with no real master plan, authorities would suddenly appear out of nowhere and they would know more about the monster and the situation than you, and they would not trouble to keep you informed. Eventually you will get caught by the monster, and you will die a horrific death.
There are no heroes, there are no losers and winners, and there is no real ending... pretty much like in real life.
Besides that monsters aren't likely to appear, the only thing that seemed unreal to me was that Hud kept recording once the panic started. But i guess that 60 minutes of static noise from a lost camera would be pushing it :-)
But hey, if you only like movies that are predictable and with happy endings and heroes, this is not for you. This movie challenges you.
