I doubt I’m the first to see the similarities:
Both used viral techniques to spread
Both used low-budget handycam’s for the entire film
Both used young adults as stars
Both used darkness as an atmosphere
Both were horror
Both endings were lame
Can’t say that I remember the characters of Blair Witch, but Cloverfield gave us two more guys to poke fun at.
I’m pretty sure this was the 1000 scifi film that took place in NYC. Congrats Manhanttanites, the alien world hates you.
I give it a 3 out of 5. I hate sappy romance drama. And guys that wear blazers to parties (unless he is Asian). On the plus side, lots of death (won’t say who or what); it used creative ways to criss-cross midtown (one of the only redeeming parts of I Am Legend)… and the best part: less than 90 minutes long. Oh, and Hud has some [accidentally] funny lines.
