Film Cloverfield Trailer!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Fri, Nov 16 at 10:28 AM

Internet buzz abounds for the new J.J. Abrams monster movie, CLOVERFIELD, set to hit theaters on January 18, 2008. And lookee here! It’s the TRAILER. As in previous incarnations and clips, we don’t see the monster… and if Abram’s Lost is any indication, we may never see it. Regardless, here’s my impersonation of the trailer: (Camera jiggle, camera jiggle.) EEEEEEEE!!! OMIGOD, WHAT IS THAT THING??? RRRROOWRRRRRR!! RUN! RUN! (Camera jiggle, camera jiggle.) And… scene. Check out the trailer and sound off on whether you think it’s crap or craptastic!

I know it's the internet and so we're all supposed to be issuing cleverly-worded blanket dismissals, but I think this movie's going to be amazing. I have complete faith in Abrams and Goddard to deliver the awesome.

(Also? That monster noise in the beginning scared the bejesus out of me.)

I rarely blanket dismiss anything (check out anything I've written about the Spice Girls reunion as proof), but this trailer doesn't do much for me, except give me a headache. BUT! I will happily trot out to the theater hoping for the best.

That trailer gave me a headache.
I'll probably see it though because I really like monster movies.

Unwatchable.

But I just watched it.

Swear.
