Cloverfield

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A sort of Blair Witch Project crossed with Godzilla, Cloverfield is economically paced, stylistically clever, and filled with scares.

The Spectator

Cloverfield is tiresome, dumb and horrid, and just in case you didn't get that I'll say it again: this film is tiresome, dumb and horrid. Don't go.

UGO

For gasps and thrills and movie monster mayhem, the film is a success. It's not flawless, but if you shove that aside, I guarantee you that you will have a gas at the theater.

Rated: A-

Film Frenzy

Director Matt Reeves and writer Drew Goddard effectively tap into that decade’s post-9/11 anxieties.

Rated: 3/4

For the Win (USA Today)

Fifteen years after Cloverfield‘s release, the terrorizing monster movie remains one of the best examples of studio ingenuity, taking a worn-out genre and infusing it with something hyper-relevant and truly unpredictable.

Antonio B El director, Matt Reves realmente supo manejar la acción y los momentos tranquilos de formas muy buenas haciendo que no se sienta tan lenta y tediosa. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Victor B The beginning of the film was a drag, but once danger revels itself, the movie kicks up majorly. There was parts here or there that I didn't like, but the feel of the film is very well done. I wish the danger would've been a mystery for longer in the film, but it fits how the story goes. Overall, worth watching if you like horror films without a slasher villain being the main antagonist. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review A B About as dumb as they come. I am mystified by the positive reviews. Insipid and annoying to watch with the Blair witch attempted ripoff film-making, coupled with bad acting. Even as a teenager I would have thought this was ridiculous. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review KB B I thought this film was not fresh and intriguing but very boring. I saw it once and that was more than enough. I also thought it was a mistake to tie in 10 Cloverfield Lane into this garbage; it would have been better as a stand alone film. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Mike B Garbage. I don’t know what possessed me to order this on bluray from amazon. I watched the first 15 minutes, fast-forwarded 10 minutes at a time until about the 3/4 mark, ejected it, and threw it in the garbage. What a complete waste of time & money. I’m sure someone is impressed with themselves for filming an entire movie in shakey, sh*tty, Android phone footage. Idiotic, irritating, & unwatchable unless you’re a 12-year old used to watching nothing but youtube videos on your $70 hand-me-down shoe-phone. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/24 Full Review Noa Leonardo C Pinche película toda estúpida Vamos a verla de nuevo Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
