We all knew a sequel would be coming, but we just didn't know when. Then the trailer came for it quite close to when it would be released. The cast is already much better than the original. Not that they were at all bad. I wonder how much this will differ from the original besides the whole found footage shtick. Daniel Trachetenberg only directed one other film. It was a live action short of the Portal game series. It was pretty good so I trust this will be as well. I haven't seen anything from story creators Josh Campbell or Matthew Stuecken. The writer here Damien Chazelle also wrote and directed Whiplash. Sadly he is also the reason Last Exorcism Part II exists. I was wondering when there would be dialogue. I was hoping it wasn't all just eerie music. It only takes four minutes until someone finally speaks though. That's an intense little title sequence. What she thinks is just a typical kidnapping we know is far different. Oh this is getting pretty interesting. That's an interesting reveal right there. I wouldn't want to make him mad. He doesn't seem like the game playing type even though he has them. Yeah that was pretty creepy. Stockholm Syndrome during a monster attack. I think I would get bored at some point. Aww yeah it's never fun when things are missing. Okay that's just way too eerie. Now the plot has thickened. I don't think I would want to be locked in a place with a guy like Howard. Even playing games with him would make me nervous. Holy shit! Well it just got even more uncomfortable. Oh damn ouch! That is one creative outfit for sure. He may have be a psychopath, but he didn't lie about everything. I loved the ending. I feel it will have a connection to the first one because of this. It's definitely not what I was expecting it to be though. A lot of people complained that Monsters 2 didn't have enough focus on the monsters. Well this Cloverfield universe story is along the same lines. It wasn't at all bothered by it. I thought it was perfectly executed and made total sense. Don't go in expecting something like the first one and you should be fine.
