Cookie-cutter ending? Not here.

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2008)

Elements of "King Kong", "Godzilla", and "The Blair Witch Project" are evident as is a taste of Gothic horror author H.P. Lovecraft. It also gives us a glimpse into the modern day technology where we communicate thorough bits and bytes of data.
This was an excellent horror film that consistently has you on the edge of your seats, huddled with your friends and assaulted with the unexpected. Many of the cries of those who dislike this movie want a cookie-cutter ending where all the people of Manhattan and the monster join hands, sing "Kumbaya" and everything goes back to normal.
Ignore the naysayers and less-sophisticated pallets and dive into this film. Catch it at a matinée if you are wary but enjoy this cinematic experience in a Dolby THX theater to achieve the maximum visceral experience that "Cloverfield" offers.
