Not actually a movie.

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2008)

I say this because there is no real plot, no characters, no story, put it another way if you were to convert this film to the theatre it would consist of an hour and a half of 4 people standing on the edge of the stage screaming at the audience.
Although not a movie it is a great piece of media. Instead of a story you get an experience it is like a roller coaster. You get thrills, excitement, shocks, moments of white knuckled terror. Then before you can collect your thoughts it is all over and you are coasting towards the exit.
The affects are amazing, Hudson gives some really nice little comedic lines and there is no senseless gore or bloodletting.
Clovefield is more akin to The Poseidon Adventure than it is to say Godzilla as the monster really does only play a supporting role to the nasty situations the people are face with.
