Better than you think it will be.

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2008)

This film is, in my opinion, one of the better horror films of the decade. Now, that may be giving it a lot of credit, but in a world of cheap Hollywood remakes and lackluster new attempts at a scary movie, this piece of work stand out like a monster in Manhattan. Literally.
The secretive way in which whatever attacking the city is kept makes for very intense film seeing. I myself got motion sickness twice during the film. This is the only bad thing I could find about it: So intense it tricks your eyes into believing it. Yet in a horror film, this is exactly what you want.
Without giving you any spoilers, I will just tell you this: There isn't anything cheap in this film. No 'Oh...I knew that would happen. ' or 'This has been done before.' When you are sitting there in the theater and this movie starts, all memory of others similar fades far and away.
You are in Manhattan. There is something there. The city is being destroyed.
This film is a piece of art, with seemingly no beginning or end. Just a moment in time that you get to experience first hand.
Completely worth your time and money. I promise.
