Well, to be fair. JJ did say "blood relative". It gives him/the creators the right to include Cloverfield in the title + defend the fact they never said it was a sequel. That's why I've been saying the movie looks like it could be pretty good (even tho the trailer(s) have showed almost everything). But there's going to be backlash regardless, because people are expecting a monster.

Also, figures the Super Bowl footage was in the screening, too. A lot of people were guessing it was a helicopter/house falling apart, tricking people to thinking it's a monster. Which makes sense.

I tried to tell these heauxs that it wasn't a sequel, everyone set themselves up for disappointment

I've also read something that made sense too maybe it was a secret and maybe the screenings were an earlier version of the movie and they thought if they showed it people would've said something since cloverfield was a big movie maybe? Just a theory.

Well my problem with that theory is Cloverfield was never a secret monster movie. From the get go we knew what it was, the hype was around seeing the actual monster. So it doesn't make sense to me that they'd try to hide there being a monster when, apparently, so many anticipated a follow-up. If anything they'd want to sell a bigger and better monster.

Also I think if that were the case, they wouldn't have done screenings at all and just dropped that first trailer.

Then you have how they decided to make it Cloverfield related in the middle of production, which the lead actress has said wasn't anything major. Which points to how it's impossible they just randomly decided to include a monster within the 3 months they were shooting.

I think the relation will be based on the air raid at the end of Cloverfield and its aftermath on wherever they're located. Possibly setting up for a real sequel. The Reddit screener says the film ends with her driving to see a destroyed Chicago skyline - but Cloverfield happened in New York. So maybe they have a direct sequel concept to have events take place in Chicago and the monster never died in the air strike?

The Forest.... what a waste of time, I can't believe I was intrigued to see that s hit movie. The lead actress isn't very captivating, she can't really hold a lead role like that, didn't help she's playing 2 people.

I have no problem tbh cuz the movie looks actually interesting. Regardless
Of monster or no monster the problem here is the Gp. Most will think there'll be a monster people will be upset af and they won't care if the movie was good or not cuz that's what they went for. If that happens they are ruining a potential franchise. Like I said idgaf I'll still watch even knowing what to expect but you know how people are.

and the sister role was so stereotypical. the script was so tragic too ugh

Just watched Southbound. A couple of really strong segments and a couple of so-so ones. I liked that it didn't spell out everything. Some of the performances could've been better though (especially in that girl band segment). The hospital segment was the best, and really creepy

Just watched The Human Race, soooo gross and wrong, and equally bad. I thought it could be really good like Circle but woooow that was bad.

They literally remade Cabin Fever (2002) using the exact same script, it's literally almost identical to the original.

It was announced that they would remake the original film using the same script with new characters. There are some changes, but nothing major.

This is what i said. Maybe this new movie is setting up for another sequel which shows the aftermath to the Cloverfield attack, maybe even a trilogy.

It's up to 16 now ! And a 0% on RT with 11 reviews

The original only had a 56 anyway, personally I didn't like it at all. The remake is getting dragged because it's scene-for-scene the same movie/didn't make any improvements or changes and wasn't necessary.

The Descent, 28 Days Later, Circle, Trick 'r Treat

Very striking visually, but not a very good movie.

I watched it and I don't remember anything about the movie or what was it about at all. Just the apartment complex
