This movie was a clear choice for me, but not for many. You either loved this film or hated it, as was the case with everyone I asked. In my opinion, this movie did an excellent job at pitting fear in the audience by making the devastation so personal and through the eyes of a handful of average citizens in a horrible scenario. Not to mention the “Cloverfield monster” was one of the most fearsome beasts to grace the silver screen with it’s ability to drop miniature versions of itself to cover the streets. I recommend it, but very lightly. It’s acclaim is not universal.
