had the potential to be great but did not quite make it

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2008)

Personally i loved 98 minutes of the movie i just did not like the ending. The ending was'nt as good as i expected it to be it leaves you with absolutely no answers about how the monster got there or why is it here or did it even die? However the camera method used in this film was great (although it was a bit shaky) but i loved it, it made it look real. The monster was pretty creative and had its moments but there aren't that many clear shots of the monster. One thing i noticed was that they stole some ideas from Stephen King's The Mist (like the baby monsters) the baby monsters looked really similar to the creatures that attacked the people in The Mist. Overall i think this movie is definitely worth watching although it will leave you with a lot of questions. I think there is going to be a sequel but yet again J.J Abrams is a mysterious person so its going to be a while until someone might be able to tell us that for sure.
