Title: The Poster is better than the Movie!!!
Review: What others have said is true: this is a clumsy hybrid of Blair Witch and the most recent Godzilla film with Matthew Broderick, right down to the baby monsters popping up all over. There is nothing original here at all, actually. (Orson Welles used the same techniques on radio nearly 70 years ago - but his "War of the Worlds" was ground-breakingly brilliant!) This flick's poster is more rivetting than the actual film - yet even the poster is derivative of the closing shots of the original 'Planet of the Apes.' I also never knew any camcorder battery to last as long as Hud's does in this movie. The monster also looks totally fake and stupid. Anyway - a far better film in this same genre is "The Host" out of South Korea a few years ago. Now there was a well-made big monster movie with big human themes! Terrific special effects and music score, too. Lousy dubbing...but still a thousand times better than "Cloverfield."
