I really wish they would never show you what the threat is at all...it would make things so much more interesting and scary imo.
i was thinking about that. i agree. horror movies are so much scarier when you DON'T see what is chasing you.
for instance the movie cat people, or the other one by val lewton, the one with the zombies. while not being really scary movies, they do have something to them that keeps you apprehensive and never pays off so you leave the movie feeling somewhat disjointed (or at least i did). blair witch project was crap, but i felt like at some points it actually was scary, not knowing what the monster looked.
Wow. So I guess I won't be seeing this with any of you over this lovely long weekend
I understand where you all are coming from and I agree that the concepts of "Monsters wrecking shop in NYC" and "hand held first person camera terror" are played out. But combining the 2 is still intriguing to me, and I like monster movies.
The title "Cloverfield"; initially just a codename for the movie, is named for the boulevard in Santa Monica where the Bad Robot offices were located during the making of the film.

What a lame reason for a movie title.
How dare you test the genius of such men as the writer of "Angel" and "Buffy" the TV series; and not to mention the director of the highly acclaimed television show "Felicity"!
the whole thing seems to have a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants/make-it-up-as-you-go-along approach. the trailer was shot before any of the prinicpal shooting was even started. On one hand, I like the loosey-goosey attitude, on the other hand, it'll depend on how good the end result is.

i will bet dollars that the actual payoff of the creature will be such a let down. it's a creature right, not arabs ?

The "Creature" is a terrorist metaphor, like Godzilla is Western evil.
The 'homemade' point of view format is seems unappealing. A bad excuse for bad acting.

I think theyll wait until the Batman franchise gets some more steam and Superman is restarted after the trash they recently put out.
In I Am Legend, while Will Smith's character hunts in an old Times Square, theres a larger adverstiement in the background for.......
