"Cloverfield" isn't by any means a solid Horror movie and it doesn't even ranks high amongst "monster flicks".
Sure, the "Blair Witch Project" camera angles work very good because of the plot. Having some mad aliens terrorizing New York was an original and likable idea.
The romantic plot between the main characters makes you care about them. So, through their eyes, we are able to witness the horrors caused by the invasion.
There are some tense moments, great f/x, good score, and perfect pace. Not my cup of tea because in terms of intensity, "Cloverfield" should be more adequate for a younger audience.
P.S. The chicks in this flick were really hot! Odette Yustman and Lizza Caplan are simply stunning.
