I didn't take notes during the film; I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. It's survival horror meets sci fi at its best, with a particular story and feel and I've never seen before. The handi-cam work might bother some, but to me it just helped maintain a constant sense of unease. I especially liked the brief clips of old tape to keep a grounded base in Normal, just to show how insane and surreal things had become.
Cloverfield
2008, 84 minutes, directed by Matt Reeves
P.S. No more apocalypse films for a while, ok? At least not set in New York.
