Rewatching it during lockdown.

Rating: 9/10 (25 April 2020)

I'm not sure why so many bad reviews. I saw this film back in 2008 and rewatched it several times after that. I still find this movie very effective, I think it aged well.
People complain about the shaky camera work. For me it's adds to the sheer horror of panic that characters experienced. It looks very real something I would film given the situation. I can totally suspend the disbelief.
As to the ending I love it like this. No explanation given and very bleak. I don't want to watch any sequels as I don't think they can improve on the story. It's always more scary when we don't know what we are actually dealing with.
I found that I sympathise with the characters even more at the moment during the lockdown.
I took only point down because of its references to Godzilla. I know it's the actual inspiration but yeah I would prefer it to have separate story to be more mysterious.
