cloverfield (2008)


"Oh my God! What is that?"
A leaving party is being held for Rob (Michael Stahl-David), who is moving from New York for a job in Japan, filmed by one of his friends, but during the night an earthquake happens, followed by a series of explosions. The party goers spill into the street in panic and glimpse what looks like a large creature attacking New York. Evacuation of Brooklyn beings, but Rob only has thoughts of his would be girlfriend who is injured in an apartment being attacked.
A Godzilla meets blair witch project, where the story unfolds via a domestic video camera. Generally a well made and breathless ride, with a few plot holes to annoy those picky souls like me, but then we accept that a 200 foot monster is chomping his way though NYC easily enough!
