Exclusive: We Know Where the Cloverfield Monster Came From!
Posted by Kevin Carr (kevin@filmschoolrejects.com) on January 18, 2008
After seeing Cloverfield today, audiences around the country are still asking what the hell is the deal with the monster? Where the hell did it come from.
Well, Film School Rejects Brian Gibson and Chris Ilcisko got the inside track on the monster’s origins from the director Matt Reeves himself. If you watch the movie closely, you can see a hint of where the monster comes from.
No, not in the attack footage. Not in the news footage. In the footage from April that was accidentally erased by Hud.
This original footage doesn’t just include the budding relationship between Rob and Beth. It also has the “first” appearance of the monster.
Didn’t catch it? Well, go see the movie again, and watch carefully in the Coney Island footage at the very end. You might just see something suspicious drop into the water.
Watch the skies, my friends. Watch the skies.

Brian C. Gibson here,
During my conversation with director Matt Reeves, he indicated to look at something in the water and that there would be a splash. We thought it would make sense, maybe something came down from space and hit. Matt Reeves did indicate this this monster is a baby, a pissed off and confused baby that is looking for mommy. When viewing the scene again, it actually looks just like the monster splashes the water, and not splashes down into it. Its just a little baby monster playing in the harbor at that point, and somehow over the one month’s time evolves into the Cloverfield monster to capsize a boat and destroy the city.
I hear all of you asking about a sequel…Want to know what the director said? Wait for my next post here shortly and I will tell you exactly what he said…
