That's going to be a problem for some people. There is a LOT of camera movement.
A couple people had to leave early on because of it.

Link? And FWIW IMO all the monsters in the Cthulhu mythos are bad. What are you comparing to... Shub Niggorath(sp)? A Dimension Shambler? They aren't exactly winners either. Lovecraft books aren't creepy from the monsters, but rather the psychological torture.

I guess I overstated it a bit

"Lovecraft himself called "The Call of Cthulhu" "rather middling?not as bad as the worst, but full of cheap and cumbrous touches."

It's a monster movie.

monster attacks NYC
eats peoples

In real life the monster would attack and New Yorkers would eat it. Poor thing wouldnt know what hit it.

It wouldn't even make it a block into Chinatown. The restaurants would have some great specials, though.

HAHAHA, so true.

This looks like a terrible movie. But then again, I shut off blair witch after 15 minutes because I didn't want to fall asleep yet.

I happened to see the film last week and thought it was great.

If that review is to be believed, then I'll definately have to see this movie. I'm skeptical still, but this guy makes it sound like it's an awesome movie.

Cloverfield is about this - could be a spoiler, could be NSFW...

 

[randay]

did they claim to film this with handycams? because they so didnt.

 

[spacejamz]

movie was less than 90 minutes long...I don't see good things for this movie...

bring lots of draminin (sp??) cuz you will need it...it makes blair witch look like it was standing still...gets annoying after while...not sure if I set my expectations too high, but I was very disappointed...

the movie reminded of Eddie Murphy (either Raw or Delirious) when he talks about how when a family moves into a haunted house...a white family will hang around the house and try it figure out if the ghosts are real or not while the black family just gets the fvck out of town...

wont post any spoilers....
