Cloverfield- Trash

Rating: 2/10 (4 May 2008)

Most annoying film since Blair Witch Project. Should be called Blair Witch Twenty-somethings. It's like the cast of Entourage trapped in a fake monster movie. Never have I wanted characters slaughtered so much.
The sad legacy of Blair Witch is that film-makers think disorienting viewers makes for great cinema. Jittery camera work. Embarrassing dialogue. All to create a false sense of excitement. Drives me back to Alien, Aliens, Terminator, Terminator 2, Dawn of the Dead. Even From Dusk 'Til Dawn was more fun. Only redeeming factor- foxy women.
Dialogue makes for unintentional humor: "What is that? > It's a terrible thing." "What the hell was that? > Something else. Also terrible." "Dude! There's some crazy sh*t going down." "That's the sh*t right there."
