I get that if the events in the movie were to really take place, there would be a lot of screaming and yelling, but jeezus - it makes it hard to watch.
shareSo I guess everyone should have been all like: "Oh, a monster has attacked. Yawn."
"I'll be your scapegoat, I'll be your savior, I'm the better of two evils."

I was just coming here to say the same thing. I just watched it on IFC and found it extremely annoying. the constant explosions, incoherent gibberish, and the shaky camera work makes this movie close to unwatchable. Its a shame too, because it was sucha good premise with great potential.
Ya Mama.
If such a thing were happening there would be constant explosions, screaming, incoherent gibberish, and the camera would be shaking all over the place. All these things added to the realism which allowed the movie to fulfill its potential.
It may have been unwatchable to some, but that's about the best you could've expected from an amateur like Hud.
You have a wooden leg - you must be a table.
I agree with you OP I decided to throw this on and I'm about halfway through..The screaming is nearly constant and it's really obnoxious..Not even sure I want to watch the rest of it between the shakey cam and the screaming. Of course people would be freaking out and screaming. A great filmmaker would
have found a way around it.
Yeah, the screaming was a bit overdone. Even at the beginning when the power went out, you can hear people screaming. At that point all they knew was it was a small earthquake followed by a power outage. What's with the screaming? I knew at that point this was going to be a movie full of stupid 20-somethings doing stupid things, and I wasn't wrong.
shareI would've thought it strange if there had of been no screaming. Besides, I think there's a law that you have to scream if you're being chased through New York by a cool looking monster.
shareAs a person who was stuck on Manhattan, during 9/11 AND the power grid outtage, the reactions in this film are pretty legit. Lot of screaming, gibberish, fighter jet sounds, police/ambulance sirens, etc.
Should the city have just been silent?
Hahah, I guess you didn't want realism of any kind huh? If anything there would have been more screaming and more pandemonium. There are 8 million people in New York City and this occurred only 7 years after the terrorist attacks. People would have been losing their fucking minds. They tamed it down just enough to not call total bullshit
