What IS that thing????

Cloverfield.
I realllllly enjoyed this movie. Maybe because a movie hasn't given me real deep shivers in awhile or I haven't seen a sci-fi monster movie that was believable but I dug this movie!
Some might think the first person POV is nauseating or unbelievable but I mean if you were filming when it happened you would keep filming and its the point it would be shaky and crazy and I loved that. Excellent camera work in my opinion.
It really got that intensity too by switching from what was previously taped and the new footage. It gave you that jumpy edge of your seat kind of thing.
Then the whole attack on the city was genius. I think that is where most of the frights come from is that you don't really know what is going on which is a very real thing in American society right now. If crazy stuff started happening right down the street you don't' know terrorists, random violence, monsters, wtf?
I also appreciated that the monster was legit. It wasn't the scariest monster maybe ever in movies but that it multiplied that it was in the water, on the ground, underground you don't know what the fuck is going on made it scary. I was afraid it would be like signs that once you saw the thing it would be CGI bullshit but it was real good. Real legit.
Overall the whole thing was creeps. Maybe just the time period we are living in or that there aren't many other good action/monster/sci-fi movies out there but this one was worthwhile. I got it from the monthly 99cent rental bin but I would have gladly paid full price.

What the hell happened to Lily?
