Example of a horrible movie

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2008)

This movie can now be used as the example of all the things not to do in a movie: Do not shake the camera repeatedly the entire movie. Do not have the actors scream the entire movie, even when they're not in danger. Do not have a movie about a killer monster in which you get to see nobody die.
This movies 2 redeeming factors are the monster looks freaking awesome and the script is fairly funny in places (very few, most of the script is *puff puff* AHHHHHHHH!).
If you can stay awake for the first hour of this movie you will get to see both the funny parts of the script and the monster. But in my opinion you should just go rent Godzilla and look up Cloverfield on google and look at the screen shots of the monster. A completely horrible movie.
If you were unfortunate enough to ever see the movie Open Water it is about the only movie like this one. You see the bad guy (a shark in a tank) but when they get attacked all you see is the actors saying "Ahh I got bitten". Cloverfield uses the same "believe us it's true" tactic and takes all the violence out of a killer monster movie. You get to see no action at all, unless you count 5 people running down a street.
