Cloverfield is much more than a monster movie, Godzilla style. It's what you might see if you if you picked up a video camera that someone was holding throughout the events that took place.

I really enjoyed this movie, even though I found one major flaw in it. There is no way in hell that the monster could have lived after being the target of missiles and bombs. That ammo is designed to go through steel and I'd don't think any living creature has a hide that strong.

The monster wasn't the scariest part of the movie. He was just lumbering around, destroying things, and eating random people on the fly. The scariest part were the critters falling off its body. I don't know what the critters were doing to the people, but it didn't look like they were playing. Thankfully, we didn't see anyone getting chomped on.

If you want realism in a horror flick, I highly recommend you watch Cloverfield.

It stars Lizzy Caplan, Jessica Lucas, T.J. Miller, Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel and Odette Yustman. Here's a 5-minute clip from the movie:
