Review of Cloverfield (2008) by Cameron F — 12 Apr 2016

Cloverfield is one of the best found footage films ever made in my opinion. This film has very good thrills and suspense, believable characters, and this feeling like "how the hell did they do that?".

Basically Cloverfield is a monster movie filmed in found footage format. It is handled extremely well and it rises above its typical traits. Though admittedly at times it does have those cliches, but they were minor and didn't really take me out of the film all that much. And some of the character logic was kind of questionable. But honestly these flaws were pretty minor and didn't majorly affect the film.

Overall Cloverfield is one of the best found footage films I've ever seen. I don't know if its my favourite one, I'll have to think about it but it's definitely one of the better ones. What I loved was the thrills and suspense, the concept, and the spectacle of it all. Check out Cloverfield if you haven't!
