Intense

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2008)

It has its moments. The hand-held thing makes the movie very intense. Though Hud at some points just functions as the directer of the documentary, for example when he's being funny, he still adds some excitement to the movie, with his outrageous outburst sometimes.
The monster. Well. I think they did a good job keeping the monster relatively secret and hided by buildings in the first part of the movie. It makes you sit on the edge of your seat trying to get a glimpse of the monster and then we u finally get to see the thing going around in the city but also when Hud films it from the ground, u get a nasty but puzzled feeling in your stomach. You can't really put any words on it. That's why I think the monster is well-made.
The small creatures, which jumps off it, should have been cut out or at least been made more creepy. But they contribute to about 20 minutes of the movie. The night vision on the camera is probably stolen from The Descent, but it still freaks the audience out, 'cause you know, what u're gonna see, when they put it on.
The ending is acceptable. YOu are caught by a big surprise, when Hud is suddenly standing right below it and films it. YOu hope for a moment, that it passes by, 'cause u want someone to survive.
It's an ending, that makes you go "It can't end like this" or "Was that the ending?" Although you probably see it coming 30 minutes before the ending, you still want a rather happy ending and see the monster go down. But an ending like the old X-Files series. Can there be a sequel?
