A thrill ride

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2016)

Cloverfield offers a fast paced thriller without surprises but with a uncommon marketing that definitely helped to the success of the movie. This movie has to be taken as an entertaining affair, extremely hard filmed and not for those who are easy to faint.
Everything starts with a celebration that goes downhill after the city collapses because of an unexpected and brutal attack that will leave deadly marks for the future of all the involved.
The movies does a really good job by showing the anxiety through POV and the good performances of their actors.
The ending is a bit of disappointment and the movie totally lacks of a deeper or meaningful story, but it lives up to its marketing campaign delivering a well rounded tour of horror and chills.
