Fun throw-back to the monster movies of old

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2012)

I will begin by saying that, unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with the many others who declare a distaste for the camera usage in this film. But in a good enough movie, I can often look past that. This is one of those movies for me.
Looking beyond the shaky cam issues, the plot isn't particularly complex, but it is lots of fun. It's a good, old-fashioned action/horror with the special effects of today and the traditional ambiguous ending that these genres are known for, a winning combination for monster movie fanatics.
It's a shame that the camera work has ruined an otherwise solid film for so many viewers and I can sympathize with those who experience head aches and/or nausea. But if you are someone who can tolerate the camera, go ahead and give it a try. You might even find yourself not noticing it by the end of the movie.
