Isn't that more like someone whispers oh my god it's full of stars or whatever but if you play it backwards he's saying it's alive? There's some unutterably tedious youtube dork explaining it all, probably linked to above if you can be bothered to wade through.

x-post. well so what if it is? there's only ten thousand posts of such similar bollocks throughout the whole of this thread, the only thing being this was one that got in the film. jeez, sorry for not wading through twenty thousand posts of fucking about.

I was just talking bollocks really, "hell monster" would've been a lot better anyway.

apparently the voice is saying 'help us' but when reversed it's saying 'it's still alive'.

there was a fair bit of it, considering. like when hud mispronounces 'crevice'.

I liked this film a lot.
― The Real Dirty Vicar, Friday, 15 February 2008 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
I liked the hint that the monster was basically a take on Cthulhu. There were some bits early on where peopel went catatonic purely as a result of seeing him... kind of a shame they did not play that further.
― The Real Dirty Vicar, Friday, 15 February 2008 17:32 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i got the cthulhu thing too. s'why i thought it said "hell monster" at the end there.

this movie is pretty awesome seen late at night on your own television
is it rly cause i was thinking it was gonna suck on a tiny tv at home
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 15 June 2008 08:05 (fifteen years ago) link
nope! i can't imagine it on any other format actually, especially the way it opens with color bars, test tone, etc - also it makes it harder to make out details of the beast (good thing!)
the more i think about this the more the cast seems flown in from the set of "i still know what you did last summer" - dumb, incredibly "good-looking", etc - exactly what you want from horror protagonists - but this was more than a horror movie (wasn't it?) so yeah, some interesting people wouldn't have been out of place

they should do an inverted version of the movie where the monster is having a going-away party with his monster friends, and everything's cool until he gets lost on a beer run and winds up in Manhattan.

Forgot about Cloverfield being a quintessential post-9/11 movie, headless Statue of Liberty and all, maybe because it ended up overshadowed in 2008 by The Dark Knight.

Hated Cloverfield but this looks like it could be great, John Goodman is the best.

sounds like it was a preexisting script that they just stuck the Cloverfield name on

This was so disappointing! The first Cloverfield was brilliant - this was just awful, predictable & nothing left to the imagination...

Utterly baffled why anyone thought putting Cloverfield in the title of this movie was a good idea. Unless I'm missing some tiny Easter egg or something the story has nothing to do with that movie whatsoever.
But other than that I liked it!
― Star Wars ate shiitake (latebloomer), Monday, 14 March 2016 16:20 (eight years ago) link
the ending was v much in line with Cloverfield universe, just had no direct connection to that story. spiritual sequel, essentially
― Neanderthal, Monday, 14 March 2016 16:24 (eight years ago) link
I suppose so but by that logic any sci-fi apocalypse story could be a "spiritual sequel". Reminded me more of Spielberg's War of the Worlds than anything else.
Maybe the rationale is to position this as an a potential ongoing anthology series where each movie is a different take on the end of the world? Idk
― Star Wars ate shiitake (latebloomer), Monday, 14 March 2016 16:44 (eight years ago) link
yeah, Abrams said it was supposed to be a Twilight Zone sort of anthology thing. Still sucked. Apparently it was a super low-budget spec script, none of the cast or crew knew it would be a Cloverfield film until two months ago, and Abrams came up with the idea to connect them when he was making Star Wars...boo
