Leave your thoughts about Cloverfield.
| Stop SmilingMichael Joshua RowinCloverfield should be best appreciated for throwing down the gauntlet for a new cinematic representation of mass destruction and, thus, the way we see ourselves seeing our worst fears. |
| BDK ReviewsKevin McCarthyThis film should NEVER leave the theatres. |
| MSNBCAlonso Duralde... exciting, terrifying and breathlessly entertaining. |
| EmpireOlly RichardsA dazzling experiment that paid off immensely, this is cinematic pleasure at its purest. One caveat: If they ever make a sequel, we’re taking two stars back. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Simply put, I haven't had so much fun in the movies in years... |
| Black Star NewsKam WilliamsReminiscent of The Blair Witch Project, this cleverly-conceived scream fest was shot entirely with a shaky hand-held camera being operated by one of the film's central characters. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...rescues the Godzilla genre from the realm of kitsch. |
| eFilmCritic.comDavid CorneliusRaises the bar for monster movies to Statue of Liberty heights. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie Waffleunlike almost any movie you have seen before to become a raw, realistic and gut wrenching experience |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiThere has never been a film of its kind so intense, so personal, so real. |
