Cloverfield

Cloverfield, 4 out of 4 stars.

Cloverfield is directed by Matt Reeves. This movie is about a monster acttacking New York city and how a bunch of people survive the acttack. This film is filmed by using a digital video in a point of view of a group of friends. This movie is similar with "Blair Witch Project" which also film by using digital video. This movie contain alot of visual effects and the visual effect the filmmaker using are great. When I was watching this movie, I just feel like I am in the same situation with the character. There were many scary parts and it will keep your adrenaline up until the end of the movie. This movie contain abit of humor and some parts are very touching so it is very fun to watch it. After watching this movie there is one question just pop out from my head, that is "How the camera survive?" and people who suffered motion sickness are not encourage to watch this movie because this movie contain alot of shaky camera which I think is ok. Some people will feel very queasy after watching this movie. I think the camera work is great and because of this, the whole movie is very intense.


Overall: "The most intense monster film that I ever seen within this few years!", "It is a short, intense and gripping thriller."
