Now THIS is how you make a horror movie! Keep it simple, give us the characters, give us a little insight about who they are and give us the monster. But don't do it all at once, tease us a little. Like Spielberg did with Jaws, you know the monster is out there, but when will you see it? More importantly than that, does the monster disappoint? Absolutely not! Its conventional enough to not piss people off yet its original enough to not feel like a rehash of Godzilla. There are so many ways a film like this could fail, yet it avoids them all. The unknown actors are all great, all completely believable. The cinematography is superb, sure its all hand held (and nauseating, be prepared) but its such a fresh take on the genre. I can't say enough great things about it. I know its early and all but I can't imagine a film this year being more absorbing and terrifying.
