I was very dissapointed with this film. The cover of the DVD looked very good but was very decieving. It did not explain what the film was about. Deffinatley not a good film to sit down and watch.
All the way through it was filmed in a 'home video' style. It was someone's point of view of what they was looking at. You could not really focus on anything for more than a couple of seconds and you can't be sure what was going on, other than something happening in New York City, because the fimling was all over the place and not clear at all.
It looked a good film, but the cover was very decieving. I would not reccomend this to anyone. It was not an enjoyable film.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

Sorry but your review doesn't really tell me anything about the film. I am no closer to making a decision to watch it or not from reading your review... Also if you're choosing DVD as the format you're reviewing you should include details of the extras and your opinion on them :)
Advantages: Thrills, Big Monsters, Through hand held camera, looks more practical though a fiction Disadvantages: Disturbing images , not suitable for children
