I saw Cloverfield Saturday.

***Slight Spoiler Alert***

What a miserable hunk of crap that was.

I get the whole: "what you don't know is supposed to be scary" but the trouble is: monster movies are not new, neither are horror movies. If the movie invented the monster genre it would work, but I think moviegoers expect more.

This movie followed the same recipe as all the other horror flicks but it didn't offer anything: it lacked a full story, it lacked depth -- very simply, it wasn't satisfying in any way. And the worst part of it is that you are pretty much told the fate of the main characters in the first few seconds so I never even began to care about them.

Honestly, I didn't expect much, but at the same time I didn't think I'd would have been better off throwing the $9 away.
