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.
There are casualties along the way, but the journey into fear is fascinating and immediate if emotionally remote–a consequence of seeing these proceedings through the singular, subjective perspective of a camcorder and of a story that intentionally leaves major questions unanswered: Who or what is this monster? Where did it come from?

Hud’s Cam
By MICHAEL ACUNA, (Southern California United States) - January 20, 2008
Last year when “The Bourne Ultimatum” was released several reviewers commented that the hand-held camera movement made them dizzy. Well, I wasn’t even aware of the camera in “BU” as the story and performances were so solid. But from the minute that “Cloverfield” began I was more than aware that the character Hud (would parents really name their son after a disrespectful, often vile cad?), who was capturing all the action with a digital camera, was indeed filming. By that I mean the Hud’s camera jerks, flips, flops…just as it would when an amateur is filming. So far so good. The camera movements make sense on a real-life level but all the putzing around of the camera made me physically ill…to the point that I had to look away several times as I thought I would barf.
On the positive side: the physical production is amazing and the use of pretty much unknowns sets up a situation in which the moviemakers have to do their homework with the script, character-development-wise in order for us to invest our interest and time.“Cloverfield” is extremely well thought out and plotted. It is also stylistically sophisticated and well written. It’s definitely worth the 10 bucks and an hour and a half of your time. Check it out.
