I saw this last night at an early screening with some friends. I went in to it not knowing ANYTHING about it exept for that it had monsters in it. I think thats what helped me like this movie, because I had no expectations of it.

Anyway, the whole movie is filmed from a first person view, kinda like Blair Witch Project. I dont think I should tell you much more than that, because I could give something away. Ill just say that it had me LITERALY holding onto my hat. It was crazy, and it was frightening. I MIGHT go as far to say that it was the most ......well, not SCARY, I guess, but...maybe THRILLING is the word Im looking for. DEFFINATLY movie you need to see in theaters.

I've talked to a few others who got into advanced screenings. 

Extremely slight spoilers:

Apparently the monster is seen quite a bit throughout the film, unlike what most people were thinking.  It also seems that the monster design is not even close to what has been posted around the net.

A bald man named Savalas visited me last night in a dream.  I think it was a Telly vision.

I haven't even seen the pictures of the monster on the net.

<update>

Alright, i did some resurch and I found this picture, and Ill tell ya right now, its totaly inacurate. Its not fish-like at all.

That's an early one that was debunked. We're now going with a fish thingee with a hunch-spineback two tiny arms, two huge arms and a long lizard tail.

I heard it was supposed to look like this.

Bingo! Thats what I was talking about! Karma for you!

My son is going to see it tomorrow in the cinema.  Any creature that can pull the head off the Statue of Liberty and lob it down the street gets my vote   :thumbup:  I just hope they explain things.  I hate it when s**t happens and you have no clue why.

Not sure how the whole first person camera Blair Witch thing will be though.  You don't get to see good detail like that and all the jerking around would give me a headache.  Still, I'll be watching it when it comes out on DVD.

Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

Mr. DS

I have to give credit to the film's producer's for not giving a bunch away in the previews.  Its genius to me and I may just go out to see this soon.

They don't show the whole thing, and they're low quality, but this is it.

Do not click these links if you don't want to see the monster.

The whale monster, by the way, is by Doug Williams. Here is his blog.

If we actually do get to see the monster, then I will go to see it.

It's getting extremely mixed reviews overall. I'll probably just wait for the inevitable "extended too intense for theaters director's cut of the producer's cut" DVD.

Really?  Every review I have seen so far has been very positive.

I'm going by Rotten Tomatoes.  Well, actually my bad. It's up to 73%  as of right now. It was staying around 50% up until now.
