Watch it tonight if you want a genuinely inventive creature feature that reinvented found-footage filmmaking—the shaky-cam perspective actually *works* here, building real dread as a towering kaiju tears through Manhattan. Skip it only if handheld cameras make you nauseous or you need a traditional narrative; everyone else should experience this cult classic.

Plot

Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.
