• Consensus

  1. Metacritic Metascore: 64 out of 100, Generally Favorable, "Mercifully, at 84 minutes the movie is even shorter than its originally alleged 90-minute running time; how much visual shakiness can we take? And yet, all in all, it is an effective film, deploying its special effects well and never breaking the illusion that it is all happening as we see it." -Roger Ebert
  2. Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer: 78%, Certified Fresh, "A sort of Blair Witch Project crossed with Godzilla, Cloverfield is economically paced, stylistically clever, and filled with scares."
