Cloverfield

July 18, 2008

The film fans might know that the title refers to a recent monster movie from the US. I watched it last evening and it was a total waste of time and money. There are some original elements - like the way the movie is recorded through the eyes of one of the actors with a camcorder - but that’s about it. The “camcorder effect” also makes for really awkward viewing and when the movie was finished I had a headache. The effects are good but sparse. 1 out of 5
