Cloverfield

5 min into the show and I am already feeling a bit giddy. Filmed using a hand-held videocam, it's somewhat like the Blair Witch Project. The first 15 min was quite boring, no action. However, it gets better from then on. The effect of the videocam gives you a sort of up close perspective, as if the action was right before you.

I couldn't stop thinking about this show after watching it. It's not a happy ending. It doesn't seem to give you hope, because the alien/ monster still survive. It's definitely a in your face feeling.

Makes you wonder if it's worth it to go all the way back to rescue Beth, the female lead. If it's your loved one left behind, will you go back for her ... ?
