Cloverfield is a hard to movie to write a review about. The story is exactly what you expect from the trailers, in fact the entire story is summarized in the trailers. So if you don’t like the story that is presented in the trailer, and you don’t like handcam movies, this is not the movie for you.

I’m not a big fan of the horror/suspense genre, but I really enjoyed this movie. It passed the basic test of did I enjoy myself and I never once looked at my watch at all.  I was just enthralled with the characters and the story and what happened next. The handcam was harder, but it was definitely easier on the eyes then ‘The Blair Witch Project’.

I f you want a post 9/11 film, this movie combines the horror and emotions that a normal person would go through in the event of a disaster without glamourizing the heroes. When a crisis happens, your first thought is of the ones that you loved. This is that movie.

Definitely recommend it. See it and let me know what you think
