Cloverfield (2008)


A disaster film directed by Matt Reeves.
A group of friends are at a party at night, when a giant monster attacks the city. One of them was video taping the party and continues to film as they run from the monster.
This was all from the perspective of the friend who was video taping the party and there isn't a steady shot in the entire film. I found it a little annoying, but it preserved the premise very well. If I was making a monster movie, it would be all monster and probably get boring very quickly. This one showed only short glimpses of the beast, which is probably a better way to keep the viewer's attention. I'm rating this adequate.
