Movie makers never learn...,

Rating: 3/10 (3 May 2013)

It seems as though too many wannabe sci-fi/horror movie makers have not realized that the "Apocalyptic-Giant-Monster-Attack + Lots-of-Little-Creepy-Monsters + Shaky-Camera-First-Person-View + Dark-Tunnels-and-Hallways + Screw-It-Let's-Nuke-The-Site-From-Orbit-It's-The-Only-Way-To-Be-Sure" equation has been overdone, and they should have learned from the Godzilla '98 travesty. The giant monster had the _potential_ to be really cool, but despite the myriad conceptual drawings (that leaked their way onto the Internet), the powers-that-be opted to go with a Godzilla/Marauder/Arachnid hybrid that was creepy without being truly terrifying. The spider-like "ticks" that seemed to steal their movements and appearance from "Pitch Black" and "Starship Troopers" monsters held little appeal other than a way of saying "Boo!" during quiet moments in the movie. If you are prone to motion sickness, don't plan on enjoying your popcorn in the theater, as the first-person shaky-camera footage throughout the movie (as in, the ENTIRE movie) will ruin your intestinal fortitude. After looking at the 8 out of 10 clover-field received on IMDb, I was fairly excited about seeing the flick. However about halfway through the movie I realized that there really wasn't any plot.. Not even any main characters.. My 8 year old cousin could have produced a better movie! The entire movie consisted of a couple of friends trying to get away from this giant clover-field spider (Which is actually a type of spider) If I could have thought of the typical monster movie taking over the city and destroying everything this would have definitely fit the mold! An would have fallen far short of my expectations.. 3 out of 10 is a generous rating for the movie as I don't even think it should receive a star! Don't WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME
