i really enjoyed this film. Its definitely a monster genre piece and nothing more, but it's "fresh." The movie brought alot of things to the table in a genre that has become fairly stale.
Just some thoughts:
1)It didn't follow a protagonist that some how knows how to defeat the monster, or someone who eventually would defeat the monster, or one who is military, or responsible for the monster's creation. Instead it follows a protagonist that would normally be the extras in a monster flick. And the perspective was great.
2)It was an amateur cameraman style filming, and the director did not forget this. There are scenes in the movie that are so subtle, but amazing at the same time. Despite its disorienting nature, the filming was perfect.
3)The monster wasn't some asinine allegory, and the story stayed far away from any kind of moral. The monster was simply an inhuman killer.
