The Cloverfield DVD is about a massive, skyscraper-sized monster attacking New York City, told from the perspective of a group of young friends documenting their terrifying struggle for survival with a handheld video camera during a going-away party. The found-footage style immerses viewers in the chaos as the friends try to escape the city, with the story focusing on their desperate attempt to rescue loved ones amidst the destruction, rather than explaining the monster's origin.
