Rating: 8 out of 10, I was surprised when
I saw this again. It was much better than I remembered. The cast is very good
and the ongoing narration of the found footage by T.J. Miller is hilarious at
times. The production values were also much better than I remembered. The plot
follows a group of hipsters in New York City who have their social gathering
interrupted by a seeming earth quake. They go outside and have to dodge the Statue of Liberty’s severed head followed soon by the perpetrator of the decapitation, a massive beast impervious to modern weapons. They try to make their way
across the city in hopes of rescuing another of their group and unfortunately the
monster is headed the same way. It was at times touching, funny, scary, and
ultimately desolate but it catches your eye and refuses to let go. A very good
horror movie.
MVP: Miller as Hud the Narrator
