    Cloverfield Spawns a Crop of Indie Monster Flicks

    Though Cloverfield is definitely one of the great giant monster movies of recent years, it's best feature was also its worst feature: the reality-TV feel to the acting and camera work. I'm a fan of the jiggy-cam stuff, but I was one of many who had no sympathy at all for the entitled yuppie main characters who YouTubed their own demise. Now a new crop of truly indie monster movies may offer a corrective to the New York rich kid POV in Cloverfield. The forthcoming Blob-meets-illegal-pharmaceuticals flick Bio-Slime, whose trailer you can consume right here, is a good example of these new-style monster flicks, whose low production values look suddenly professional in light of the faux-low production on Cloverfield. Other indie monsters are rampaging in your DVD drive next year too. More »
