I'm 37 minutes 38 seconds in (subway station), and I'm enjoying it. The idea of the whole film being filmed by one fella with a handheld camera is fantastic - it'd just be a high budget, generic monster flick, otherwise.

I wish they'd taught the fella how to hold it steady, though - like Slaynish, I'm getting a bit motion sick. Thankfully, as I'm watching the DVD, I can pause it whenever I want. I'd have hated to see it in the cinema.

Full thoughts when it's finished (just over 43 minutes).

A good film - I liked it. Not much else to say, really. Well, the ending was very abrupt, but it suited it.

As for it being an alien - it sure as hell wasn't an Earth creature. The last scene (the end of the original tape, Beth and Rob on the ferries wheel on Coney Island) shows, in the background, a shape fall out of the sky and land in the sea off Coney Island.
