thought this was a well put together movie, i think it being through the video camera made it slightly more believeable but it could be very annoying at times, didnt like the lack of information like, what the bloody thing was or where it came from, all w... full review

A triumph of hype and marketing over good movie making. The description of "Blair Witch meets Lost" didn't appeal to me in the first place. I had a feeling there would be a lot of shots of floor, not a lot of monster and people that I wa... full review

I absolutly loved this film. The camera was shaky and blury a lot but it adds to the realism of the film being shot on a home camcorder. The monster was great and I 100% believed that I was there with the characters as they ran for their lives and when th... full review

Went to see this movie last night and what can i say, it's probably gonna be the worst fim of 2008. From beginning to end it was really boring. The way it was filmed was poor, the story was weak and so was the acting. I actually shut my eyes several t... full review

Well this film has received mixed reviews... in fact some people in the screening I saw walked out! However most stayed and enjoyed the ride. At first the awkward movie angles are a tad weird, but you soon get acclimatized to the experience.... and then... full review

Look beyond the shaky camera, the "Lost-esque" pattern of the film and the oh-so-clever references (Godzilla, 28 Weeks Later, 9/11) and what are we left with? Not much. I actually felt depressed. It reminded me of how old I am (VERY early 40s).... full review

I'd been waiting for this film since I saw the trailler at Christmas, it was worth the wait. The intro has been described as too lenghty but it gives the viewer time to become aquainted with the main characters and the relationships that set up their ... full review

this is Matt Reeves' (director) first major cinema production - and it shows. Cloverfield - which in itself is a poor name due to its lack of identity with the plot, perhaps selected for its irony to a 'field of lucky clovers', resembling the ... full review

Well, this film started so slow I wondered if it was ever going to start at all. When it eventually did, it was a major dissappointment, the 'Blair Witch Project' style of seeing everything through a hand held camera was bloody infuriating as you ... full review

I found the film to be good - not an outstanding plot - acting was good. The worst thing by far was the 'camcorder' film style. After about 10 minutes I was beginning to feel like I was on a bad ferry crossing. This did not improve all the wa... full review

This is a film which relies on the hype surrounding it to ensure that the cinema seats are filled. The film does make reference to September 11th 2001, the words 'terrorist attack', the collapse of a multi-storey building being very similar to the... full review

I saw this in the USA this week . It is filmed like The Blaire Witch Project, with hand held camcorder. The monster and Sfx were not bad but the camera work was terrible. I hope this is not going to be the norm. One to miss full review

I found it be quite thrilling at times, but found that creating movies from the video camera perspective can be quite tedious. I would have prefered at times for the camera to be steady on certain parts to see the full effects it was trying to portray. O... full review
