Cloverfield

During a going-away party, a group of young New Yorkers faces sudden chaos when a skyscraper-sized monster attacks the city. Recorded through a handheld video camera, their desperate journey through wreckage, tunnels, and danger becomes an intimate attempt to survive and reach someone trapped amid the destruction.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy raw, immersive monster thrillers such as War of the Worlds; Not for you if shaky footage, unanswered questions, or frantic chaos quickly become frustrating.
