Horror/sci-fi alien attack found-footage movie [closed] - Woman in a Rib Cage Shaped Costume

I faintly remember this "found-footage"-esque movie of, I believe, 4 teens/young adults recording an alien attack on what is probably New York or another American city.

At some point they were in a dark underground tube, so the camera-guy turned on night-vision, and sees they are being chased by these huge spider-looking things.

I believe 2 of the 4 main characters die at two separate points in the movie.

In the ending the two remaining characters sat in the morning light, possibly dying.

  • The movie was in english
  • It was probably 10 years ago or so
  • The camera man was one of the four main characters and I believe he dies at some point, leaving one of the others to pick up the camera
  • The military was very much present, attempting to evacuate people and shooting the alien 'mothership' with tanks
  • The 'mothership' was several stories or even buildings tall (maybe 50 meters), but its minions were probably only the size of large dogs (maybe 50-75 cm)

These are the details I most distinctly remember.



Best Answer

This is Cloverfield (2008) and the smaller creatures you are referring to are called Parasites

The monster was covered in 2,000 Parasites that are roughly the same weight and height as a dog. They have 10 legs consisting of six spider-like, double jointed limbs and 4 "pincers" on the top and back of its body. They have very large jaws, pale gray skin and multiple black eyes.
