Review of Cloverfield (2008) by Dana Stevens for Slate — 26 Jun 2011
Despite a first reel entirely devoted to establishing characters, Cloverfield is basically a line-'em-up, pick-'em-off horror movie that's effective without being either viscerally frightening or emotionally moving.
Watching it is like going through a car wash: You come out of it thoroughly Cloverfield-ized, but essentially unchanged.
