As a lover of monster movies I have to say that this movie was good. I loved the fact the this is a home grown US monster. I had never heard of any of the actors and actresses except Lizzie Caplan. I have to say that they did a good job. A found footage monster with a story that affected so many people at once. A mysterious creature attacks New York City for some unknown reason. The movie follows a group of friends that are affected by the attack of "Clover". The attack leads to a residual affect of events that cause catastrophic problems for the group. The movie tells a nice story that is actually believable. The camera shots at times are a little shaky; so if you are prone to motion sickness then this movie may not be for you. If you don't like movies without happy endings then this also isn't the movie for you. A soundtrack makes a movie for me but with this movie....there is no soundtrack and it worked. A perilous journey with a monster. As Siskel and Ebert would say...I give this movie two thumbs up
