"Approximately seven
hours ago, uh, some thing attacked the city. I don't know what
it is.
Um, if you found this tape, I mean if you're watching
this, then you probably know more about it than I do.
Uh,
whatever this thing is, it killed my brother..." - Robert
Hawkins
Why watch this?
Its "found footage" presentation style adds a fresh take on a
stale genre.
Plot Summary:
The story follows a group of friends as they attempt to survive
an unexpected giant monster attack on New York City. At first,
there is confusion, then the situation quickly changes. The
destruction is devastating. Even the monster's "fleas" prove
deadly to the fleeing humans. The film is presented as a tape
discovered by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Dad's Preview:
This found-footage film captures the
chaos of an immense creature attacking New York City. We follow
our small group of protagonists, who are likeable young
adults, as they
try to survive and find the ones they love. This creature
thriller is
intense and scary, so hang on tight.
