30 Day Horror Movie Challenge
Day 15- Favorite monster movie
Cloverfield
This movie blew my mind a bit. The hype meant that I was half excited, half cynical, but when I watched it I loved it. I’ve never seen a film which was so LOUD inside the cinema. I’ve also never been in a film which so many people have walked out during the screening. I don’t know whether it was the volume, the shaky camera work or what, but to get a reaction like that takes some doing.
A thoroughly modern take on the creature features of the 50s and 60s, this movie uses the old found footage technique fantastically well. It’s about what you can’t see as much as what you can, and that’s no bad thing.
I also love the strapline: “SOME THING HAS FOUND US”. The difference between using “something” and “some thing” is so tiny, yet the difference it makes is huge.
I don’t really care that it isn’t a horror movie as such. Perhaps it’s more science fiction, but I think monster movies are where Sci-fi and horror meets.
An honourable mention must go to “Monsters”, which I also loved and proved that monster movies can be made on a tiny budget.
Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing.
