Cloverfield review (non-spoiler)


From darkhorizons, It will be interesting to see public reaction when the highly secretive and much anticipated "Cloverfield" is released. Coming in under a heavy weight of expectation, there'll be some notable deflation when people discover that all the filmmakers have done is simply taken a "Blair Witch Project" style approach to what is essentially a New York-set "Godzilla" movie - nothing more or less. Taken on that level alone however, its a quite effective thrill ride that works just as it intends too.

Go here for full review.

No one is probably going to see this at this late date, but here's a couple of quotes from the review:

"Shown only from the perspective of a single digital camcorder..." Ugh.

"The ensuing shaky camera footage, which makes Paul Greengrass' "Bourne" films seem rock steady in comparison..." Double Ugh.

Malevolent
