I was really hoping to see the next Signs, but what I got instead was Cloverfield. The acting was actually pretty great, all things considered, you could tell that if they were scripted it either wasn't heavily so or they're just really good at portraying their scripts. Their location was great, and the focus on tiny details and accuracies were what gave it the four stars it got. It only got the four stars because of it's over all MOVIE quality. For a horror film, it's lacking atmosphere and tone, and it's sort of stereotypical, but in a bad way. In a bad way twice. First, because even in a stereotypical horror movie there are some thrills you can drag out of them, a few gut-wrenching moments when you have to close your jaw so you don't bite your tongue cause you know something's about to jump-- but this movie somehow manages to not only be stereotypical of a found-footage horror film, but also miss that mark completely. It came close to being a B-rate horror film about aliens, but in the end, there was no cigar for them.
