A new genre in film is born

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2008)

All I can say is that this movie exceeded my expectations! At first, when the movie ended, I was upset how it ended. Then after some reflection, (by the way, if a movie can make you reflect about it afterwards, its worth the price of admission!) I understand why and how it was done! It had to be done this way and leave those unanswered questions! It is after all about a tape that was found documenting the events that happened one night in New York when a monster attacked. I was riveted the whole time and love the fact that it left me with more questions than it answered! I ended up coming home and combing the internet to try and find out more of the story...and guess what....there are official websites that help you! I became totally immersed in this world and left to my imagination, ( yes..there is still such a thing) I have slowly but surely started to put the pieces together! There are a lot of things you will question...such as how the camcorder battery ran so long. Well, since the movie is 1 hour and 20 minutes long...that seems to fit into how long a battery lasts and how much time you can actually tape for...roughly. There is so much I want to say about this film but I don't want to ruin the fun for other people who will take the time to reflect and search for my answers like I did. Trust me ...it's worth it! A piece of advice...at the very end of the movie..watch closely of the footage at coney island...something falls into the water!
