Cloverfield

Film · 2008

Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.

The sides of Cloverfield

  • A goodbye party in Manhattan
  • A monster attacks the city
  • Everything filmed on a camcorder

Cloverfield is good for you if…

  • you like an attack seen only from the ground.
  • you like a monster you barely see.
  • you like the Statue of Liberty's head in the street.

Cloverfield is bad for you if…

  • you want steady, framed images. Everything is shot on a shaking camcorder.
  • you need answers. Nobody learns what the monster is or where it came from.
