Don't Be Such a Sissy!

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2008)

People said the same thing about "The Blair Witch Project"; that is, the hand held camera made them nauseated. Get over yourself. It is an effective film technique that is used to heighten the feeling of panic and escalate the manifestation of fear in the film. I liked "Cloverfield". I thought it was great fun. I thought the hand held camera was used to good advantage to help build the emotion and move the story along. It is appropriate to the characters running in the streets from a gigantic monster. It helps heighten our own fear and is appropriate to the situation. It certainly would not have been the same movie without it.
