A Genuine Review of Cloverfield

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2013)

Cloverfield is a 2008 POV horror film. Cloverfield starts out by introducing us to some pretty annoying twenty somethings having a going away party for one of their friends. That is when this movie really kicks off as something unknown is attacking the city. The friends then embark on a dangerous trek across the city to save one of their friends. The creature design is truly original and fantastic.The film has some truly tense moments and takes the found footage effect to great lengths.If I had a problem with the film it would be that the characters are a little generic, but that is just a small problem. See this film if you like POV films done right. Skip this if you get sick from the shaky cam. 3.5/4
