  Unremitting tosh
  
  One of the worst films I have ever seen.
  
  Watched with three teenagers who all hated it.
  
  If I could give it a negative rating I would.

  OK as a monster movie
  
  The monster was fun to watch, but the people were terrible. It painted a very negative and nihilist view of modern life in New York.

Crudely shot on handycam by a group of friends at a party, the film quickly evolves into a blow-by-blow account of the most surreal and terrifying ordeal of their ...
