Drop the camcorder and whatever you do, don\u2019t run toward the bridge! 2008\u2019s \u201cCloverfield\u201d mixes giant monsters, post-9/11 reactions to urban destruction, rom-com tropes, \u201cJaws\u201d style monster hiding, and found footage shaky-cam into an incredibly intense movie experience. Does it matter that the main characters are generic, or does it actually help? Is this a slasher film or more of a smasher film? Why did it kick off a nonsensical franchise of unrelated movies? And if it was made today, how would it be different? (Hint: Less shaky-cam!) Find a quiet place to hide somewhere and join us!
