A Quality monster movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2009)

This was the most hyped up movie I've ever experienced. I was always on the Internet trying to find out whatever little tid-bits I could. When I went to the theaters to see this film, I was so excited, and am glad to say it lived up to what I was looking for. The plot was good, and we see a group of characters that are likable and relatable to try and escape a horrificbattack on New York. The slow revealing of the monster throughout the film, leading up to the creatures close-up towards the end of the film, was expertly performed. The handy-cam work provided a realness not many films include, and really makes you feel as if you are in the film, catching glimpses of the monster slowly throughout the entire film. The ambiguous ending leaves many wondering the fate of the characters and wondering what could've remained of the monster.
