Cloverfield (2008)





An intriguing teaser trailer with no title, just a date.  An awesome poster indicating New York is under siege from some thing out of this world.  J.J. Abrams gives America it's own Godzilla movie with Cloverfield.  The found footage flick may be difficult to watch without Dramamine, but sure delivers on destruction, special effects and fear.   

Cloverfield was filmed in Los Angeles, CA and Brooklyn and New York, NY

If you happen to be in lower Manhattan visiting other filming locations, hop on the Q at Canal Street & Broadway and cross over the Manhattan Bridge just like Rob & Beth did.
