I wanted to watch this when it was released at the cinema, but never really got around to it. So when it was on TV I recorded, and finally managed to sit down and watch it today!
The movie follows a group of 20-somethings as Manhattan is attacked by a raging monster, and we get to see what happens through the eyes of one of their video cameras.
Even after watching it, I wasn't sure exactly what to think. I enjoyed the film for what it was, but it's an idea that's been done before - perhaps most noticeably on The Blair Witch Project. Having said that, it's done very competently here, and makes for an enjoyable movie. Just don't go in expecting a novel masterpiece, and you'll be entertained rather than bemused.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
