I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).
See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.
All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more
“Wolves of Chernobyl” is a song by Municipal Waste, already
but what a way to go, huh? “torn apart by mutant wolves” is a pretty metal death
🤞 outbreak remasters with modern functionality
But objectively worse because Avatar doesn’t feature Tim Curry

I hope it’s better than Minoria, I was rather disappointed with that one
Seconding an electric kettle, even a cheap one was a game changer over not having one at all. Crazy how 99.99% of people I know as an American don’t own one
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, now you say it I’m like 99% sure we’re gonna see “ensh*ttification” on the poll this year

If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it
Saw: Dream Warriors please
I have been an ENORMOUS fan of the Endless franchise since the first Space. Dungeon of the Endless was flawed but fun, and so far Endless Dungeon seems like exactly what I wanted: Dungeon of the Endless but streamlined, expanded, and with a new focus on more of a story. I’m pumped to dive back in!
Stay slayin, friendo
For real, this. The remake was bad? Oh no, good thing the original is probably still very accessible over multiple platforms these days.
You ask me, the problem with remakes is that the industry isn’t focusing on games that aren’t as easily available and could genuinely benefit a lot from a facelift and some tweaks under the hood. Stuff like Parasite Eve, where the original media also feels sort of timely or relevant.
