Disaster meets horror meets the unknown… and all filmed by a hand-held video camera! If you can get over the nausea of the camera swinging around in every direction for two hours, you will probably enjoy it.

A group of friends enjoying a party are suddenly interrupted by screams and what seems like and earthquake but when they venture outside they realise that something is wrong and that an unknown creature is attacking the city. The guy that had been filming at the party continues to do so throughout the film which is the only aspect on things the viewers have.

We all know monsters attacking big American cities have been done and done again but Cloverfield still stands out thanks to its Blair Witch Project aspect of filming.

Though not particularly horrific or terrifying, there are still quite a few moments where you find yourself jumping an inch of the seat.

No very well-known actors appear but I think that if the line-up would have been star-studded Hollywood at its best, the film wouldn’t be as enjoyable somehow.

Cloverfield is more of a big screen film that a buy the DVD and watch it yourself because of the large scale of things that are going on. The eerie feeling you get when coming out of the cinema into the darkness of the city is quite strange…you keep looking around and listening for the same thing to happen to you!
