Old B-movie horror films resurrected from the dead.

Rating: 7/10 (28 August 2010)

This was an amazing thriller that brought back the B-movie genre in my opinion. Though I gotta say this probably beats the B movies back then. This one doesn't show the monster as much, making the suspense all the more terrifying. Then when you do see the monster, you'll see that it's an amazingly creative design, and not a typical Godzilla design.
Note: (the whole movie is shot in a first-person perspective). During a going away party, a group of friends encounter a giant monster attacking New York City, in which they evacuate the place, and try to get out of New York, doing what they can to stay alive.
I say this is better than most B horror films because of the unique way it's shot. The film is filmed by a guy going with the party, and you feel warped into the environment with so much commotion going on, it's uncanny. The film's ending also isn't what you expect, (you'll see). The film doesn't get slow, as there's always something going on, and the main characters are always on their feet. It begins in suspense, and it slowly but surely shows more and more of the monster, getting more and more intense. It's scary because it's huge, so how can you miss it, yet not seeing all of it just makes the environment feel all that more real. Growing attached to the characters makes it more terrifying when they die one by one.
This film gave the B movie genre some balls, and I appreciate it for that. Nothing is cheesy, nothing is bad, everything is thrilling to the bone. Very decent film
