"The Clover File" is very similar to "Blair the Witch", the difference between the two is that the former really represents a monster. Unlike other monster movies, this movie seems to come from a DV in the hands of one person, giving the audience an immersive feeling. It is considered by critics to be another monster movie after the Korean movie "Han River Monster". An old movie genre infused with new blood. The investment in "Clover Archives" is US$30 million. Most of this money is spent on special effects production, so although the image is blurred, the production is not rough, and the monster effect is very good.
"The Clover File" is a very interesting movie, and it should be more appropriate to call it a top-secret file according to the English translation. Director Matt Reeves made the film extremely real through home DV-style "amateur" shots. The first 20 minutes of the film may be boring and the shaking of the lens may be uncomfortable to watch, but when the audience enters the story, they will find that their heart has been hanging, as if the protagonist has fallen into a catastrophe, even It will make the audience faint in the movie after it is over, and wonder if they really just watched a movie just now.
This is a nervous but extremely fascinating monster movie, reinjecting life into this dying wood movie genre.
The only thing the film is worth learning from is its unscrupulous and extensive destruction of New York City and its bold marketing strategy.
Although put on a trendy coat of fashion, the essence and style of the film is still old.
I always feel that "Clover's Archives" is not a movie, but a trip to the theme park, but this is not a complaint, but a compliment.
The film tells the story of a common mutated monster landing and attacking New York. For contemporary fans who have been "raised" by "King Kong", "Jurassic Park 2" and "Godzilla", even if the "Blair the Witch" is added The imitation documentary technique of shaking DV is still commonplace.
