Cloverfield
Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Movie Trailers Are Killing Movies. > A great movie trailer can single handedly turn a movie into a success story--like that genius Cloverfield trailer in 2007 that didn't say what the title of the movie was. But it's more common these days, I'd argue, for a trailer to have the opposite impact. A generic trailer can so thoroughly dampen hype for a film that something like Furiosa, a great movie everybody likes that's a sequel to a great movie everybody likes, could become a major box office…

unlabelledView post →I love it when you find someplace on Google Street View that has been weirdly missed for a long time. Like, right now part of the view of Paramount Studios is from 2016, so you get signs for "Everybody Wants Some," "The Big Short," "10 Cloverfield Lane," and a Ninja Turtles movie.
unlabelledView post →You know what movie holds up? Cloverfield. And in retrospect everyone's complaints about the characters sound really misguided. It's possible the filmmakers thought they'd created fascinating ppl, but it's more interesting, if not likely, to treat the characters' inadequateness as the *point*

unlabelledView post →midnight opening night showing of Cloverfield. incredibly mid movie in a vacuum but, dear lord that was a roller coaster of people yelling at the screen and generally losing their collective mind. 10/10 experience and have never been interested in a rewatch

unlabelledView post →When we talk about horror movie villains I am almost always astounded that DeNiro's Cape Fear performance and Goodman's 10 Cloverfield Lane performance aren't given more props.
unlabelledView post →I was in New York City on 9/11, I spent the night in a bar full of firefighters on 9/12, I volunteered to feed steelworkers in an empty lot downtown on 9/13, and I worked in Tribeca inhaling the smell of bodies for 2 months afterward, and Cloverfield was maybe the angriest a movie has ever made me

unlabelledView post →If you're looking for good movies that move around similar "trapped in one location" concepts: VIVARIUM (2019). Brilliant 5/5. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE (2016). Underrated IMO. CUBE (1997). Old-school indie awesome. BRICK (2025). Flawed but interesting German film (& the closest in concept to TLH)

Rewatching, I still felt the joy from when I first watched it! It wasn’t a perfect movie but it was damn good! Loved the monster 7/10 Extremely memorable!

unlabelledView post →I reviewed about the excellent season finale of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. In terms of more compelling human-level drama and you-are-there action in a kaiju film you'd have to turn to Godzilla Minus One or Cloverfield. Anna Sawai and Mari Yamamoto act like it's Lear. decider.com/2026/05/01/m...

The acting was great (minus a few moments that felt ??), the setting of the film and the extreme tension felt throughout the entire film! However, disappointed the alien portion was so short! 9/10 Definitely in my top movies ever!!

unlabelledView post →Man I'm watching this again and this dude gives me fucking chills every time. Might not be an all time cinema villain, but as far as horror goes John Goodman's performance in 10 Cloverfield Lane is insane #FilmSky #HorrorSky
unlabelledView post →Looked up the director, and can't say I have seen anything beyond Cloverfield Paradox, which didn't wow me. So maybe hiring someone who didn't really do any work for 4 years didn't make an interesting movie? This whole project seems like someone hated Falcon and Winter Soldier and vowed to make it so terrible that no one will ever watch it again. It seemed like an easy bunt of a movie: Make a 90s political thriller (like they did with Winter Soldier) and call it a day. Yet here we are, a…

I love the small trick of taking an exploitation film character who would serve as the villain in Misery or 10 Cloverfield Lane or etc, and making her victim-dude deserve it SO BADLY that we root for her even after she's completely unraveled. A non-stop laugh riot.

unlabelledView post →*The Blair Witch Project* often catches hate, but in it's time it was pretty fucking wild. The real-life stress of the actors shines through. Yeah, the ending though. All I remember was the theater collectively expressing, "Uh. What?" and filing out quietly. *Cloverfield* was another good one at the time, if you could stand the shaky cam.
