Cloverfield

2 part story

On the night of his transfer to Japan, Rob comes home to a going away party as an opportunity to confess unresolved feelings and tie up loose ends. Rob and his girlfriend, Elizabeth “Beth” Mclntyre, have been having many struggles with their relationship. During the party, one of Rob’s friends named Hudson Platt “accidentally” video tapes a glimpse of Beth and Rob argument. Over the video Beth tries to break up with Rob but not in person, but over the film.

Robs agenda takes an unexpected turn when a jolt shakes the building. The crowd quiets down to watch the news reports of an earthquake, then everyone rushes to the roof to see the damage. A fireball coming from the ground explodes on the distant horizon, and a power failure follows. Confusion gives way to panic as the partygoers stumble through the blackout and into the streets, many human screams on the street and one inhuman roar.

Rob stops Lily but, with Rob and his friends stuck with nowhere to go but with the army and to get a phone call from Rob’s girlfriend, where is she and what creature is in New York?
