Film 46/365, Day 53/365 – Cloverfield

Jason is throwing a farewell party for his brother Rob who is about to leave New York to work in Japan. Then before the party gets going, something shakes their building. Before they no it they are all fleeing in every direction from something, what exactly they are not sure. But it does seem determined to destroy New York and all within it.

This is how to shot a first person film, not at all like that Blair Witch Shite! Cloverfield is best compared to a roller coaster. There is a slow entry which would be the climb as we get to know the cast. Then boom we are hurtled through a non stop adrenaline fueled adventure. It is absolutely mesmerising and exhilarating. Without a doubt 5 stars.
