My non-spoiler review of Cloverfield.

This was absolutely the scariest movie I’ve ever seen.

I can’t believe that there would be such a force that’s so indestructible.  So unstoppable. A force of nature.

I’m talking about the camera.

That thing doesn’t break.  It survives buildings falling down, people being killed in horrible ways, and mass destruction.  And the battery never dies.

The movie gave me nightmares. I dreamed that a bunch of Cloverfield-style video cameras flapped around me using little tiny wings, just like those flying toasters in the old ‘90s screensavers. They whispered to me malevolently.  They said “You think you’ve got a problem from the monster?  We are the true evil in the world. We will laugh as humanity is destroyed.  We will film the destruction, and we will put it on YouTube, and then we will ‘Favorite’ it, like, a lot.”

I just saw Cloverfield last night and also wondered about the battery. Did it seem to you like they ran out of money/got tired of filming and just ended it?

Even more scary?  There are kids that will be graduating high school that don’t know what the hell a flying toaster screensaver is.

Welcome to feeling old.

Wow..that does sound scary..

Is it made by a Japanese company?  I’ve heard that they’re making great strides with long life batteries.  The batteries stick to a lowfat diet of mostly sushi and seaweed; it lengthens their life.

Personally, I like the film better when they called it Blair Witch.
