Reply #3: I didn't see it in the theater, but I loved it on DVD [View All]

I expected to hate most or just about all of it, and I was amazed at how effective the entire film was. This marks the first time that I've ever seen an extended POV-camera sequence that actually worked, and did it ever!

If I have one complaint, it's that the opening sequence at the party went on too long. We could have gotten the same characterizations and back-story in about two minutes of screen time, so that part kind of dragged for me.

Still, the film was quite an accomplishment. Surprising at nearly every turn, and surprisingly effective at evoking the uncomprehending horror that you'd probably feel if a 300 foot monster just showed up out of nowhere.

I've heard suggestions that a sequel might be another "found" camera, from a different group of people who likewise had a hell of a night.
