I enjoyed the psychological conventionalism of this film - it was, for me, familiar turf. In other words, it smelled of my urine.
No, not quite.
But ---
You COULD go out on a limb and read into the narrative framing of Rob and Beth, as lovers, whatever...Perhaps Rob did awake some kind of female ur-beast, maybe some shibboleth was passed from Hud's lips, maybe all of this is mere exaction for the spoils of the virgin. Every rite of spring has its symbolic violence, right?
I really enjoyed this "Cloverfield".
Kings of Leon are a lot of fun live, too. They had a bunch of tracks during the party scene.
Oh, and whomever stood around for the final credits roll...The overture was awesome.
Probably half of the film's budget employed Mr. Tippetts and company. I'm guessing at least 15% went to renting out Skywalker Sound to record the "ROAR!!!" theme.
Cool.
