Curiosità:

All the main characters (and Jamie) have MySpace pages. The producers made these pages to advertise on MySpace. All the characters last logged into them on January 16, 2008. (1-18-08), the release date of the film.

Errori:

Errori rivelatori: When Rob is on the phone to Beth, we can clearly see he is using a Nokia cellphone. However, when he hangs up, it makes the standard Motorola "end call" tone.

Citazioni:

[first lines]
Rob Hawkins: It's 6:42 AM. Beth's dad's place. He's out of town. And it's already a good day.

Cloverfield delivers the thrills - but haters of the Blair Witch style should be wary!

So, I went to a 5PM showing of Cloverfield today. It was pretty good. I found the characters to be very human and developed quite nicely over the course of the story. The special effects were excellent, with quite a few "oh $#!@" moments.

Be warned: If Blair Witch Project made you nauseous, then I don't recommend Cloverfield. The *entire* movie is filmed in the "handy-cam" style of the trailer - but in my opinion, it works better here than in Blair Witch. It helped draw you into the movie and make you feel like you were in it, and it made the CGI more convincing.

Very intense film.
