I puked in the theater while watching Blair Witch Project because I get severe motion sickness. I then purchased the DVD, and have yet to finish it. I just get too dizzy.
If Cloverfield is anything like that, I'll likely never see it.
I just saw Cloverfield and I thought it was very well done and compelling. I gathered the name "cloverfield" was for the monster. In the beginning of the movie it reads:
Document #USGX-8810-B467
Digital SD Card
Multiple Sightings of Case Designate
"Cloverfield"
Like were watching a evidence tape from the Department of Defense.
Another thing that was interesting about the movie is that the tape was originally a recording of the two main character's first date that was accidentally recorded over. So the entire movie is cut with these breaks of this couple going to coney island.
The scariest part is when these mites or bugs jump off the creature and start attacking everyone and biting them. Later the victim's guts blow out of their chest. Awesome.
