Thursday, April 17th, 2008Oh-oh, Maybe I’ve been grousing about January junk a little too long. Because here’s Cloverfield DVD it’s January, and this movie is by no means junk. A flawed movie that nevertheless offers scenes of gripping terror–and a few moments of genuine surprise. For all its popularity, self-documentation’s purpose and meaning remain elusive. For all its newfangled innovations, the movie shares DNA with similarly themed sci-fi yarns from the 1950s. One of the most exciting and frightening sci-fi/horror films of the last decade.
