At Cinemas Now - Cert 15  Cloverfield

A monster/horror film produced by J. J. Abrams, directed by Matt Reeves, and written by Drew Goddard.  The film follows five young New Yorkers who throw their friend a going-away party on the same night that a gigantic monster attacks the city.

The movie starts as a monster of unknown origin destroys a building. As they go to investigate, parts of the building and the head of the Statue of Liberty come raining down. The movie follows their adventure trying to escape and save a friend, a love interest of the main character.

The film is exactly the same length as a digital video recorder tape.  The movie was created with digital cameras and also uses the "shaky cam" effect through out.  This may dis-orientate some audiences.  Similar to Blair Witch where the characters talk to a handycam.

The cast where given no pre-script to follow and it was filmed mostly in secret in New York city.
