2008 Top Horror Movies, Will Cloverfield Be One?
2008 Top Horror Movies, will Cloverfield be one? This upcoming movie is going to be released world wide on January 18, 2008 except in Australia which will see a January 17 release date. The hype has been growing at a rapid pace because of the movie trailers that are out for the movie. They have done an excellent job to show not show much of anything about the movie and especially the monster.
The basic plot of Cloverfield is about a bunch of friend’s, that were having a party, try to survive an attack on the city by a giant monster. The film is kind of a cross between Godzilla and The Blair Witch Project. The movie is told from the point of view of the group of friend’s video camera. The Blair Witch Project was one of the top horror movies of its time and was a huge success considering its tiny budget. This film has a lot of potential based on what it is about, but only time will tell if it can be one of the top horror movies of 2008.
Cloverfield is expected to be one of the top horror movies of 2008. It was produced by J.J. Abrams and the movie was directed by Matt Reeves. J.J. Abrams has been involved in some big movies such as Mission Impossible III where he was the director as well as the co-writer. He was also the writer for the film Armageddon from 1998. He has two other projects in the mix currently. The first is Star Trek which is slated for a December 2008 release and the second a film that has not been titled yet, but he is the director and producer of the film. Matt Reeves is an interesting choice as director of this film. He does not have a ton of directing experience under his belt. The only movie he has directed is The Pallbearer. He has done a fair amount of writing for films though. He could be the biggest curve ball as to the success of Cloverfield. It could be really awesome or it may just be ok.
If this movie is successful, the monster in the film is what is going to make it one of the 2008 top horror movies. The monster in Cloverfield is supposed to be the size of a skyscraper and it is supposed to wreck havoc upon the city. Will this group of friends survive the attack? Will they be the only ones left in the whole city? You will have to watch the film to find out. We are very excited for it’s January 18, 2008 release. What do you think will it be a one of top horror movies of 2008?
