French Student Film Mimics Cloverfield

Dan Koelsch, May 19, 2010May 22, 2010

Go to YouTube. Search for “Cloverfield”. Watch all the crappy amateur videos that try desperately to imitate the 2008 hit film. With its handheld camera style and unique intensity, J.J. Abrams’ Cloverfield brought a great new spin to the monster movie. Given its style, many have tried to replicate its creative success (read: Quarantine), but few have succeeded. Now, a few french students have made a short film that tries to do just that. Check it out after the break.

The film, called Amock, was made by Francois Vico, Martin Vaissie, Sarah Matuszak, and Xavier Goubin. While it is in French and has English subtitles (which I usually hate), it’s still worth a look.





The official website has more information and behind-the-scenes videos, including an alternate (and more explanatory) ending, seen below.





You can definitely see the influence of Cloverfield, though I find the film entertaining and very effective. I even got a little scared at their one camera attack scene. What did you think of the short movie?

    I think it’s pretty cool. I wouldn’t be surprised if the makers were invited to direct for their own film in the Hollywood soon, and perhaps get a chance to meet JJ and Matt Reeves at that point.

    One again, wrong, quarantine was in production when CF was released.

    If it was, it was barely. The whole reason they brought it over was because of the buzz of Cloverfield.

    Not actually. I believe I read a story about how REC was screened at some festival and they had a bidding war over the rights for a remake. And besides, whats the point? Cloverfield was a huge rip off of Blair Witch, which was of rip off of The Last Broadcast, which in turn was a ripoff of Cannibal Holocaust.
    So while it may be a success, its not a “creative” one.

    I’m not familiar with the details of the film’s production. Either way, I would argue that the “found footage” style is a sub genre. The style had been used before, but never for a big monster movie.

    I wouldnt, and while you make good points, Paranormal Activity isnt a found footage movie, its a horror Movie, just like how Cloverfield is just a monster movie. Ill have to wait before another huge movie is filmed like that for found footage to be a subgenre. Its on its, way, but its just a little early.
