With 14 positive reviews and 7 negative reviews thus far, the movie is considered fresh. It seems like it might be a decent movie after all. I was surprised to hear that the movie only lasts 73 min. with a supposed length of 12 min. of ending credits. Will probably see it Saturday.

I think it's stupid for people to think they are going into this movie and expecting closure. The movie is like the Blair Witch Project, where it gives you the point of view of the people screaming and running around only. These people screaming aren't looking for answers as to why the monster is here, they jsut want the damn thing to go away.

I read some reviews and they say it's nothing like the Blair Witch Project.

It sounds kinda interesting seeing it from the point of view from just the citizens (or a few people) instead of like a typical monster movie switching between the characters and the military and stuff. I probably won't see it though.

I think more people are interested in the monster then the movie.

One step at a time, man. Some movies are good as a standalone film and don't warrant a second installment. Let's see if this film can live to the hype first.

when was 73 minute movies ever the standard? 60 years ago? 90 minutes has usually been the length of the average movie.

Usually, most short movies are at around 90 min. 73 minutes, not including closing credits? I don't know if it's worth $8.50 for a ticket.

I saw it about 6 hours ago (we get it 2 days before the states in New Zealand :D ). It was terrible. The story and monster were awesome, dont get me wrong, but the camera movements were so jerky that I felt nauseous and had to look away from the screen for half the movie. It also has no closure. Its like the sci-fi version of the Blair Witch Project.

i too had a headache building from the main guy swinging the camera around
due to the camera POV, lots of things weren't clear just dark shadows
there wasn't closure or any explanations really

still it was original in the way the movie was done, bit short tho

A movie that long sounds like a straight to DVD release. And thats what it should be then.

I'm seeing it. I've been waiting for this movie since July 4th 2007 when they showed the teaser before Transformers.

I know what the movie is, I know nothing will be explained, and I know that it's really just another monster movie but told in a different way.

Regardless, I love monster movies and this is a monster movie. So I'm going to see it.

The length isn't an issue with me. I'm paying for quality, not for length. I would feel more ripped off coming out of a bad 3 hour movie than coming out of a good hour long movie.

That actually seems like a good ammount of time to me. Movies can be so drawn out.

Why do people automatically consider it crap just becuase its short? Sure, paying $8 bucks for an hour of entertainment might not sound good to the average person, but calling it crap over the length is stupid.

Sounds like War of the Worlds. You never found out where the aliens came from or why they were killing everyone and everything and why they were making plants from our blood. It just happened and it all took place through the view point of a family of 3. And I thought that that movie was great. So I think I will love this movie as well.
