it says "It's Still Alive" Backwards

it says "It's Still Alive" Backwards

so it says = "evile llits sti". Turn it around and it says ... "It's Still Alive"

sounds like Help Us but backwards it's It's Still Alive

Cloverfield Ending Credits

At the credits ending of Cloverfield

**** Spoilers ****

the audio from the video cam says, "Help us!". But when played backwards, it says, "It's still alive!" This happens after the end credits of Cloverfield. Assuming the speaker was Rob, he suggests Cloverfield (the monster) is still alive. This also suggests a sequel for Cloverfield 2!

**** Bigger Spoilers ****

The Japanese oil company TAGRUATO drops a satellite (Chimpanz III) into the ocean as part of viral marketing (shown at the end of the movie when Rob and Beth were on the ferris wheel). TAGRUATO works with SLUSHO (a slush company), as the main ingredient for SLUSHO is found at the satellite dropzone (deep ocean). While searching for satellite and ingredients, they woke Cloverfield (the monster).

The main ingredient of Slusho apparently turns a tiny fish into a HUGE whale, which explains the size of Cloverfield.

Rob apparently was going to be the Vice President of TAGRUATO in Japan.

Static, followed by a strained "help us", followed by more static and what sounds like a distant thump. Is it alive? Possibly. Is it dead, but was just the first of a new contact with an extraterrestrial creature, another one that will hatch, and arise from the oceans depths, from the egg that landed in the ocean behind the white boat? Was it just a "baby"? Or, is it another plot to have us again combing the internet for months looking for clues? Hmmmmmmmm, beats following an election.

This is the official site for the movie. If he's still alive, then what are these 2 new pictures?

http://www.1-18-08.com/

Perhaps those are just whales or other large sea creatures killed by the creature? Maybe there's another creature?

If you see the latest reveal from the Director Matt Reeves he's talking about another secret hidden in the ending of the film - something dropping out of the sky - read it on the latest story here.

So if it said "help us", that means that rob and beth are still alive am I right?

Hey I checked out that 1-18-08 website that someone mentioned... in these blogs... I figured out accidentily that you can turn these pictures around, if you do only like 3 of them reveal something...but one is in Japanese (or chinese, thia, etc. Not exactly sure..never took it up) but anyhow, it looks like it could be a recipe of some sort. Which does give some light on a theory I read of a "slusho" co. getting a vital ingredient from the ocean that has a reference to the monster. Just throwing that out there for you bloggers..this my first.

You're right! You can flip over the pics and there is something written on the other side of the pic with the chef holding a cooking sheet. It's definetly Japanese but I can't read it. Does anyone know if there is a website with the translation of it? I just saw the movie on Sunday but it's so cool finding out all these clues about the movie on the internet.

I heard it was a recipe.

I don't really know Japanese, but the last sentence of the recipe is definitely mentioning a "nectar of sea".

THIS MOVIE WAS CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZY!!!

Are you sure it doesnt say "They all watched" ?

SPOILERS!!!

I really hope Beth and Rob are still alive..Really, when the first bomb hit, you hear Rob say, Beth look at me, Look at me,,But he talks likes nothing happend, i mean that it looks like he's not hurt badly, and the second bomb you hear alot of noise and the film stopped, Hollywood rules: if you cant see a dead body, then the person isnt dead, So NO ONE knows what happened to Beth/Rob

IF it says Help Us, then they are alive, UNTIL PROVEN WRONG

They All Watched, it's really possible because you can hear it, But why would Matt Reeves do such a thing?

Lets just say it Says: Help Us, And Beth & Rob are still alive

Matt Reeves said he could do part 2, Then it would be filmed from another perspective, im talking about a dude filming on the brigde where Hud was filming, they filmed eachother, That's was Matt Reeves said...

CLOVERFIELD IS THE SHIT!!!!! NOW LET"S HOPE BETH/ROB ARENT DEAD, Because i like them :P lol

if you notice in the night vision picture and the capsized oiler picture certain parts of the picture are blocked out

I just thought of this now...

I think Rob and Beth have to be dead because in the begining of the movie it says something like the camera was RETRIEVED. If Rob and Beth had survived the would have brought the camera with them.

This is probably nothing, but also in the night vision picture on the site, the two ships on the left-hand side are firing in the air when everything else is firing down to the ocean. It's kindda weird, there's probably a good explanation for but who knows.

cmeehan I totally agree with you

I really want Beth and Rob alive but I can't see a sequel coming out involving them, but I guess they could in some way? That is, if theyre still alive.
Someone mentioned the video being "retrieved"

If this is the case... they may have just said f*ck it and just hauled butt out of there cause they assumed the camera was broken or something.

Plus I think Rob and Beth since they were so in love by the end that they should live, if they didn't want it to be a mystery then they would've solidified that they were killed. I HOPE they lived =[

I deciphered it a few hours after I saw the film. When played forwards, it says Help Us. But when played in reveres, it says It's Still Alive. This is at the end of the credits. Also, in the last scene of the film, when Rob and Beth are on the Ferris Wheel at Coney Island, some people say that a large, black object can be seen falling into the water. No doubt it's the monster, but where in the shot is it? If anyone knows where it is, please comment back and tell us in full detail.

k so what happened 2 the girl who went in the first chopper?

The movie and monster is a loose metaphor for the war on terror. The nectar is "oil."

Human greed has unleashed pure evil, of course evil is "still alive." If it wasn't for our greed for oil, its likely 911 would never have occurred.

Think about it.

btw, this movie is adapted from a South Korean movie called "The Host."

To answer some questions
-The website with the japanese guy picture. it is a recipe found it on another website.
-apparrently something does fall from the sky in the last scene

Question
-remember the scene where they are chasing rob but the camera guy runs into a japanese guy, what is he saying? maybe a clue?

Two possible answers to Alric's question (k so what happened 2 the girl who went in the first chopper?)

1: She may have died i don't know how but when Rob and Beth are under the bridge Rob says their all gone implying that all of their friends are dead.

2: She may have survived and if there is a sequel (which may happen and be from other people's perspective) she might be in it.

That's a good question bigmac11z!

it is Help us...(mumble mumble...) backwards its Its still alive...(mumble mumble)

what happend to marlena? they dragged her away behind into a tent. did they shoot her or what? was she changing into one of those creatures or was she just infected with a virus?

Shit, I was just spinning the first picture you see, looks like the monster dead, and all of a sudden I could hear its screaming from the movie.

marlena exploded

Ahah first off great movie. I've been going through diffrent websites and stuff looking for movie secrets and stuff now that I've seen it. I think its cool how the film in the apartment started at 6:42 and then the fil ended under the bridge at 6:42 kind of representing begining and ending together ahaha. I kinda got the impression that the brothers girlfriends helicopter got knocked down, similar to I am legend. Ive heard of soldiers taping cameras and cell phones to their guns and filiming themselves storming houses so I think it could be pretty cool to see this from a soldiers point of view. And if it helps decide what the monster was my perception was that the two arms on the upper body weren't arms but they looked more like crabs legs because he seemed to supprt himself with them and I think he has two tenticle tails

The picture is of two whales that washed up on shore. The one on the left is easier to identify, and it has a huge bite taken out of it. Cloverfield was hungry.

why did marlena explode..that makes no sense..

She was bitten by one of those little cloverfield's and I guess when you get bitten then you explode. That's why they freaked out when they fould out she had been bitten so they brought her into that tent so she wouldn't get all over everybody and probably freak everybody out.

She exploded because she was bitten by one of those little cloverfield things. Apparently when one bites you it makes you explode... that's probably why they took her into the tent so she didn't get all over everybody when she exploded and cause more of a panic.

And can I assume that the creatures are affraid of the light? Because when they first got out of the subway and found the medical outpost in the store they had really bright lights pointing at the door

Okay I am in a fight with my friend about how the monster came to be so far I think I am wrong
Okay there is this company that made slusho okay so in the end of cloverfield a huge thing is seen hitting the water I thought it was the monster but my friend said it was a satilite that the slusho company on purpose made it crash to look for slusho ingrients then the monster orginally a fish absorbed the main ingriedent which turned it into the monster it is soon It attacked the city where the heck did those monsters comefrom are they also related to slusho I am very confused

hey! just was looking at the website. usually websites have a title in the browser bar, for instance- this one says "filmstalker: Secret hidden in cloverfield ending" ... well, in the 1 18 website it has "-- -" can that be a morse code?

I think the Japanese guy said something about bugs (mushi)

after the spider tunnel scene they mentioned that one grabbed and dragged him away
i think there are male and female spider/bugs
the males hold onto you until the females lay their eggs in you
this would explain why only marlena was bit or whatever
she was first being held down, they smacked that one off...then another one jumped on her an bit her
marlena i think had eggs/and egg laid inside her and it was hatching...i never caught onto the light thing though...that makes perfect sense!!!
they brought marlena to that very lit room to kill the offspring
also explains why they weren't attacked until they turned off the camera's light and put on the night vision on.

Aleric, I've seen and own The Host on DVD. Cloverfield is adapted from that the way The Matrix is adapted from Lawnmower Man.

In other words; it's not.

to cemeehan, by "them monsters" im assuming you mean the little freaky bitey things? spidery things? Well...as you know whales have things which stick to them, little creatures which clean them...so if this thing was originally a whale or a fish then mutated...im guessing these parasites mutated and grew with it. i think it's ace how you can find out loads of weird stuff that's hidden with this film. There's alot i didn't understand when i went to see it earlier but now i doooooo :)... i also heard that the saliva of the monster and its parasite things act as a catalyst for gas or something & because our bodies can't handle the gas she exploded. it's all a bit confuuusing.

i'm a bit sick of everyone trying to relate it to 9/11, i'm not denying there are links but, i feel that we read into things too much sometimes...

WTF Slusho ingredients? Was the word Slusho used in the film at all?

Apparently Rob was going to be the CEO of Slusho, that's why he was heading off to Japan

What the hell? you guys saw a lot more than me, i didnt see anything like this, all i saw is godzilla 2!! and it only went on for like 1 hour!! disappointing!

What the hell? you guys saw a lot more than me, i didnt see anything like this, all i saw is godzilla 2!! and it only went on for like 1 hour!! disappointing!

The film was good, I didnt see any clues, i was disappointed with the length of the film. I also think that for a sequel they could simply re run the first film but from someone elses perspective, maybe the military;s? that would be more interesting than a bunch of kids walking thru a subway.

Hey i loved the film and i just went on the website with the pictures, cant figure out how to flip them, but i had it on and was reading this and the sound of cloverfield scared me sh**less!!!!! xx

Please , tell me: under the central park bridge, when Robert Hawkins talks to the camera, what day he says? ´cause i heard May 23. right? or i wrong...
the date of the last scene video (coney island)is apr 27 , about 26 days before.
in the party someone says that rob and the girl went to coney island some weeks before. so i may confirm what i heard. so what´s the deal with january 18 of 2008 ???

George - that was that US release date for the film.

On the website with the pics to turn them over click on them and quickly move the mouse in a circular motion :)

ok i see that on the picture sit there is one pic of a ships destroyed or sumthing and near the hull there is an area thats all pixelated mean anything to??????

It's hard to notice that Rob is going to work for Slusho in the movie, but if you look closely, some of the guests at his party that say:

SLUSHO

on them.

I just watched cloverfield today and it was awesome. Ive learned alot from reading all the posts. I agree with the fact about the parasites being things that grew with the monster and not actually being from it. Also, for when marlena is brought into the containment room i dont think it is because they dont want to get messy but the soldiers who brought her had on hazmat suits so they prob wanted to isolate her cuz they didnt know the long term effects of exposure to the virus and so thats why that one soldier freaked out cuz he didnt want to get infected if possible.

well overall i loved this movie so much! I hope they do make a movie about the monster after surviving the explosion.
Eddie H. Age 16

Firstly I thought the film was absolutly amazing, but unlike a lot of people I belive that a sequel is a must for so many reasons. Here are my reasons;

- Firstly the aftermath i.e the media coverage around the world. In the film a soldier said that they were prepared to 'let the whole area go' meaning that the entire city of New York was destroyed. How would the worlds media and public react to one of the biggest city's in the world being completly oblitarated by a giant creature? Imagine the fear that would spread around the world with people wondering if more of these creatures are alive and located around their country/city.

- The survivers who escaped from New York (Lily and possibly Rob and Beth). How would they go about rebuilding there lives after their freinds were killed and there homes in ruins? This event would have a prefound affect on people in so many ways. Their story(s) would make a facanating film in itself.

- The monster, if it survived, would more than likely move on to a new city and create more destruction there. How would the military deal with this? How would the american people cope with the fear that would grip the nation?

These are just three points but I could go on forever. There are so many unanswered questions and so many different angles in which these questions could be answered. You could make a dozen sequels. All I hope is that if one is made it is as creative and well thought out as the first one!!

About Marlena being bit and exploding. I'm thinking those spider lice things were just like parasitic mosquitoes. When you're bitten by a mosquito, the bite site swells because of some kind of toxin released through the bite. Same thing with the huge cloverfield lice, only because of their size, there is more toxin released .. which is why Marlena was all sick before it happened, then swelled up and exploded.

I think they should call the sequel "Tape 2" and have it follow from when the Egg or whatever falls into Coney Island. Some guy filming his friends at the seashore will film the egg falling, then skip forward 1 month to the day of the attack. He sees the oil tanker capsize and follows the creature to the BRIDGE. He is then air lifted out of New York and finds refugees who know what it is and where it came from ... or at least he'll hear through hearsay what it is.

Maybe. Who knows. It was a cool movie, so a sequel can happen or not and it would still be a good film.

I do hope there is a sequel, personally I'm not too concerned who's perspective its from as long as it is made in a similar way, and preferably starting and ending later.

I think the parasite don't like light, as when they're on that staircase, one seems to just not bother attacking Rob funnily.

With Marlena, my theory on why she was rushed under a tent (while I'm sure no-one likes being exploded on) is that what happens to her is the same as what happened to the army guy who was being taken away on a stretcher. I think oxymoron_o2 maybe onto something as it is the upper abdomen and thorax that have exploded (areas of the body where there are gas). But the reason she was rushed under a tent by people in hazmat guys I'm pretty sure will be to ensure the virus doesn't spread, i mean last thing you need is exploding people =)

Yes Baggya. I agree with you. When you see the guy with no....guts, you hear someone mutter something like 'another bite' which is why someone screamed out when they realised marlena was bitten. I am assuming they took her in there to try and save her. Or do some on-the-spot research. still, itsn not nice to explode on others.

This thing about the spider-crabs, when they are escaping the apartments, there is one of them in the stairwell, and he puts an axe into it. the lights are on in that stairwell. However from my memory it didnt seem to attack them straight away, even after he attacked it. So maybe it couldnt see.

When they monster first appears, they say they heard something like an earthquake. What is that about?

It did make me laugh though when they SOL's head falls through the street, and people take pictures and videos of it instead of wandering what caused it to actually be there.

Also, I dont think its a mutation. I also have no idea what it is for that matter. What could it have possibly mutated from? Fish cannot come out of water, even a wale. Everything else that mutates stays the same, take godzilla for example (not a comparison, this is an example) when it was mutated from nuke radiation, it only grew in size, got stronger etc, the same behavior, and looks as the lizard it mutated from. The monster doesnt look like anything.

And the toxin mosquitos leave in you is to stop your blood from clotting their mouth up and starving themselves to death.

IF YOU READ THIS STUFF ON THE WEBSITES IT WILL ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AS TO WHERE QUITE APPARENTLY THE MONSTER CAME FROM JUST READ THSE SITES AND DO SOME DEECTIVE WORK! VERY CLEVER!

i have to ask this queston, even though u prob think it's dumb but these companies like slusho and targrutao oil, aren't they things from other things to do with the director or producer? i read somewhere that slusho is from ( i think, may have read it wrong!) Alias, that t.v show which the producer worked on? prob have got this really wrong but has been bugging me for days! Also does anyone else think that yeh a sequel would be cool but maybe ruin the whole thing? well if they do a sequel i just hope they do it properly. oh and i really don't think beth and rob survied, i mean did u see all the fire around them! i think the army may have used napome ( not sure if that is spelt right! the bombs the used in Vitenam which burns at a really high heat) if they did survive they would of had some major burns!

From what I remember, after the final helicopter crash, you can hear someone saying something about "letting the city go in 15 minutes" or along those lines. Then Hud gets eaten. camera jumps ahead of time. They rehearse and say their final words, then BOOM. Explosion. I'm thinking that Coney Island got nuked or napalmed or something by the military to kill the monster.

As for a sequel, MAYBE. It is possible that they could survive (if Beth can survive having a wall on her for like 2594385029u7205781 hours, then a blast is possible. They could be in critical condition, and the second movie would be of the military trying to save them while avoiding the monster. It can even be shot using the same camera, from the point of view of Rob, or from "a soldiers gun" as I heard from above.

Cloverfield was awesome, and the reviewers that gave it a bad score missed the point entirely.

OKAY I'M CONFUSED CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT CLOVERFIELD I MEAN ALL OF IT THE MONSTERS THE SLUSHO COMPANY EVERYTHING!!!!!

I seen the monster/satellite fall into the ocean. I was like the only one in the cinema who saw it. Just wondering how can anyone survive that nuke blast and how did the electrical equipment i.e the camera survive the nuke?

Some great comments on here. I'm from Australia, prob a lot older than many of you guys but I've always been a sci-fi fan; I reckon this is one of the best s-f/horror movies ever made. People are saying it's based on The Host, other comparisons have been made to Blair Witch and Godzilla. I tell ya the film I immediately thought of was Miracle Mile. Seriously great film. If you haven't seen it get it out on video.

Just read Cloverfieldendingcredits.crap.ukidding? Wot rubbish. I hope it is anyway. If cloverfield was from the deep ocean it wouldn't have a VERY HIGH BOILING POINT!!! Have these people got any idea? It would have a very high internal pressure, to combat the outside pressure, like all other deep sea organisms, and so, like all other deep sea organisms, it would EXPLODE upon being brought to the surface. If it has survived a nuclear attack, I think Abrams would have great difficulty in plausibly explaining it any other way than saying it was from outer space or another dimension or similar.

has any one seen those fake news reports of a oil rig owned by tagruato? they get attacked by the monster but they say it may have been an accident or terriost. i wanna know did that happen on the same day as it attacked new york? or is it on a diffrent day on a diffent oil rig? coz i had an idea, that diffrent oil rig may have woke up the monster and it attacked it. also their are those pics of whales that have had huge chunks taken out of them showing that the monster has been swimming in the ocean before it attacked new york. Then the closest land was new york so then the whole movie begins.
the thing you see at the end falling in the sea is part of the oil rig that was destroyed in the fake news, because you see a whole load of debree flying miles high up in the air in the report. Well thats my theory.
but i guess it is i guess the debree would of had to fly across the sky for thousands of miles, and mention of it in the news report in the movie saying like "this is the second rig to be attacked" grrrr!!! colverfield has been buzzing round my brain for days! shows how good a movie it is!

on the tagruato webstie it mentiond a japanese man going to new york, a Ganu Yoshida, I think hes the guy shouting at Hud down the camera down that alley when they are chasing rob, i think.

I have to say i like the sounds they made but the little "parasite" things were badley designed they looked like smalll versions of the arachnids in starship troopers!

Bless Cherry!

Yeah Peter the thing I liked least was the CGI. Why are the monsters almost always grey? I don't understand CGI pretty much at all admittedly but the use of it doesn't seem very imaginative to me.

its all so good.

the monster was awoken by them digging, then it broke free undersea then destroyed the oil rig casueing the huge explosion.

the monster grew huge due to the ingriedants from the slushos. as did the little parasites on the monster, they casued people to explode becasue they contain the ingriedants in the slusho. which made the women huge, then explode.

and if you look all over the myspaces there dates of last online are on the 18th the day the monster attacked. this means that the main characters did die.

etc etc

im not sure this is true, but im pretty sure at this time its the most logical explanation. im looking foward to the proper explanation becasue ive been trying to figure it out for days.

"She exploded because she was bitten by one of those little cloverfield things. Apparently when one bites you it makes you explode... that's probably why they took her into the tent so she didn't get all over everybody when she exploded and cause more of a panic."
reffering to this and any posts about marlina's death.
the black soldier that comforted rob and co spoke pretty confidently and reasurinly as if it was planned that she was to die then and there. i doubt very much that they could of known or planned to that minute she was to explode. i always thought the soldiers who dragged her into the tent shot her. i could be wrong just a thought but if im right maybe theres something more sinister that happens to the human body/mind after a bite. maybe something like aliens ect?

Saw Cloverfield yesterday and was buzzing afterwards - was great to have a film truly excite you! I'm so miffed that I missed the bits at the end, but I'm hopefully going to see it again next week to catch the thing falling into the sea and the message at the end!

I hope there's a sequel and don't hope there is a sequel all at the same time. I'm loving everything that goes with the film, but then don't want a terrible sequel to tarnish it.

I like the concept of humans being used to 'incubate' the eggs of the parasites, but I think it's a bit far-fetched. In my mind they just used the bite method to kill other creatures to eat them a bit more easily!
Loving the site!

Tim

PS. Still ignoring the fact that Rob and Beth are probably dead and believeing they lived happily ever after (at the moment anyway)

Such a pile of [rubbish - Richard]! you must have nothing better to do than post conspiracy theories and dleve into somethin so superficial that its not worth it!

i saw the film today, do you not think that maybe the reason why they havnt logged into myspace is because A. they wouldnt have computers anymore (all destroyed) or B. they have slightly more important matters at hand; i dnt think that the login can be justification that they are dead.

the film make me laugh :D

im a tit

i believe the creature to be a human which had been subject to the slusho. if you pay close attention it has human like features. ( apart from what looks like a tale) great film and has played with my head for days

What's the deal with the yellow goo that comes out of the starship trooper creatures? Are there any being on earth that have yellow blood? Also someone said that the reason why the monster didn't feel anything from the blasts is because it came from boiling temperatures so can withstand it. Also I heard that clover is known to grow in places where bombs have hit and the camera was found in a 'field' in central park. Anyone else heard all this?

I read reviews from people that saw this movie in the audience testing stage adn so much of what I read there and here leads me to believe the movie was heavily edited from the movie I saw. There was hardly any mention of Slusho and in early reviews someone said the girl who exploded did so from drinking the Slusho or something like that. All this mentioning the oil rig and creation of the creature, I did not see any of that in the movie I saw. I think the DVD version will be interesting. I think i preferred the movie without all the slusho references, it was short, but very interesting.

hey,

you should watch the clip on the japanese deep sea drilling website. It shows an oil rig being dragged under the sea and then throwen back up by what must be the monster. Also the video shows how the rig is 'leakin oil' however on the site it states that the rig failed because it ran out of oil therefore the dark patch in the sea might be the monster.

This is my theroy on the cloverfield story:

From what i can gather there are several storys all linked together. Rob was going to work for a company called slusho (this can be found on his blog on facebook) his brother is also seen wearing a slush t-shirt @ the party. Slusho is a slush drink that has a secret incredient buried below sea level. Its already harvested in japan the company just had to go ahead to start selling slusho in the states, the company new from the satalite (seen dropping into the sea @ end scene) that this secret ingredient was available on the sea bed just off the coast of new york.
The rig you see being destroyed in the video is where they were digging for secret ingredient deep below the sea, this is where cloverfeild monster was. On slusho website it says how when small fish eat secret ingredient they can turn into huge whales... so what can huge whales turn into... cloverfield?
Theres more, on the jamie & teddy stuff, teddy works for the japanese oil company, watch all videos jamie makes for teddy (youtube) he sends her a package with audio tape, also has a top secret package thatr must be frozen (this is the secret ingredient, it must be frozen as its from deep below sea level)... jamie later eats some of nectar (secret ingredient) and starts going crazy, then talks about how good she feels.
If you go to www.18-01-08.com there is a picture of jamie with rob (main character in film) at his leaving party?

Also im not sure what the deal is with japan but there are alot of references to japan i.e. slusho, oil digging company, photo on 18-01-08 website, japanese guy in movie etc. maybe these references are just to do with the whole cult japanese monster movie thing. im not sure.

I dont think they will release a sequal, i believe the reason why j.j.abrams has but on these little clues etc out on the net is to answer any questions people had before/after the film and its simply down to the viewer to find out for themselves if the really wanna know.

1 more thing, you can buy slusho t-shirts on there site lol, i ordered mine.

Let me know what you think on my theory, you can email me too @ jaket63@hotmail.co.uk

peace out. JT

Also 1 other point which might be worth looking into or maybe its nothing but on the 01-18-08 website the top of the webpage window has this:
'-- -'
i checked the net and looked at morse code '--' is 'M' & '-' is 'T'
'MT' well i looked this up and all i could find was that MT are the initals for MALTA same as UK for UNITED KINGDOM, maybe im barking up the wrong tree i dont know.

I have this theory about Marlena exploding.
Someone said something about the medical place being very lit up and so possibly the creatures being afraid or hurt by the light. Maybe that is why they dragged her away so that she could die from the light because maybe those things were transformed from normal people from a toxin or poison, which is kind of silly but still.

Also with someone mentioning the parasite things that cling onto whales and clean them etc, that does make sense if they were also mutated from the bi products excreted by the monster which therefore coming from the effects of that Slusho stuff.

Someone mentioned the monster having 'crab arms'. This could also explain about why all the weapons used upon the creature didn't harm it because that may mean it could be a crustacean of some sorts. If it was a crustacean it would have a strong shell (Exo-skeleton).

Rant over.

WAIT WAIT WAIT....
Got more stuff that makes more sense.......

The creatures cannot withstand light due to living at such depths. The main monster wouldn’t be affected by light as the SLUSHO has enhanced its traits making it stronger but the smaller parasites still may not be able to handle it because of their inferior structures. The smaller organisms may have been small parasites that clung to the cloverfield before it became mutated. This could have affected them too as they could have mutated due to the bi-products being excreted from the cloverfields pores etc.
The cloverfield had been described as having crab arms. This could mean it is a crustacean giving it a hard exo-skeleton (made harder by the SLUSHO), which explains why the military could not kill it. Ordinary armour piercing ammunition shouldn’t be able to penetrate such a colossal creature, but still doesn’t explain why they didn’t resort to nuclear weapons. Although delay fused artillery shells filled with napalm would have been a clear choice as it has a better chance of cracking the shell and due to the delay it wouldn’t detonate until it was actually inside the creature, spewing napalm under its shell, and basically torturing the monster. Or they could have easily set up a sniper, fairly far away, 50cal. And wiped out its eyes, whatever.

Marlena exploded due to the small parasites biting her, possibly secreting some poison or toxin or even placing eggs inside of the host, this caused her body to become highly reactive against light and, if it was an egg, exploding within her. Or if it was a poison or gas etc the light could have caused a catalyst, producing the gas en mass, resulting in her spontaneous combustion. This can be justified as bodies are seen with their stomachs ripped open, this may have happened due to the eggs actually hatching and not exploding from exposure to the light.

And that’s all I have to say about that.

p.s. I haven’t even seen the movie

Sorry for the thousand posts, but I just read Jarky's comment about that 'MT' thing.
Mariana Trench in morse code?????????

Also the Mariana Trench is pretty much next to Japan, explaining where they would be harvesting the secret ingredient for Slusho...

This is last post, I promise ^_^

I just read Jarky's comment about the 'MT' thing. I think that this could possibly have something to do with the Mariana Trench. MT might be the initials for the Mariana Trench in morse code or something.

Also the Mariana Trench is located very close to Japan, which may explain where they were harvesting the secret ingredient for Slusho and where cloverfield was spawned.

Just been on the slusho.jp site and Whales are mentioned a few times maybe Cloverfiled is a mutated whale? Also on the "happy talks" page one comes up saying "Slusho makes my stomach explode with happiness", neither are propbably related!

i seen cloverfield an i was amazed, it was the best film ever. the ending came an i was confused, the only problem was nobody told me to wait until the credits. what i have been reading on here has made me regret my rush to catch the bus home..... =|

I just read somthing about people on boats firing up in the air, and people firing in the sea or something. well if you look at the picture of the dead aliens or whatever they are, on the one on the right there is a sea bird eating some of the dead body. if they do eat it wont the sea birds turn into monsters aswell?

Basically, what happened, George Bush wanted a new pet, so he ordered a crab and a lizard from japan, at the same time he also ordered some slusho. On the flight over there was air turbulence so the slusho got all over the crab and the lizard. The creature then formed into one animal and grew in size dramatically, causing the plane to crash into the sea, and the creature splashed in at the end of the film from the plane. The landing gave the creature a concussion so it fell asleep for like a few weeks. Then the oil rig accidently woke him up because they were playing Backstreet boys music too loud, so it made him angry so he took it out on the city. Rob and beth didn't die at the end, because she remember she had super powers (powers of healing) and she created a forcefield around the both of them. The creature is still alive because it has a super crab shell that makes it inpenetrable, like Batfinks bulletproof wings. It didn't mean to kill Hud, it was just being friendly and licking him. The real reason why Marla Marlene whatever, exploded was because the white house has been training creatures to plant dynamite into people. That Jamie guy could be alive because i think he can fly. The woman in the helicopter probably died, because she forgot to wash the dishes before she left the party. The next film might be from the view point of the military, as they had cameras on their helmets. The military probably find a radio frequency in the sequel that says 'it's still alive'.

And then they all do the conga basically.

pretty good summary

the secret is matt reeves already made part 2 the sequel to cloverfield -kcarta

I thought the film was amazing. Can someone point out exactly when this mysterious object falls from the sky at the end? I have watched the part before the credits about 20 times and have not found it!! Thanks, James

Cloverfield was a intence movie, however the actual mission is called "cloverfield" not cloverfield the monster like some of you have stated, dont you think that the guy who was going to japan his girlfreind would of died anyway because one of the metal poles from the structure of the roof was through the left hand side of her body towards the shoulder where quincydently the heart lays and beats, i do belive the satelite falling into the water but i really doubt the recipe of slusho would have caused such a big monster to evolve and also wales are not the only creatures which inhabbit the waters, e.g sharks, dolphins... anyway until cloverfield 2 is realeased we all have to sit tight and exspand on our theorys and answers

I agree with you Bally about Beth. It's a bit weird and silly how she was still able to walk and run after all that.
She would have lost too much blood.
And it would have been better to keep the pole through her so that there wouldn't be as much bleeding.

I was just thinking, why are the goverment watching this tape? they will have loads of different version of peoples story.

I think that maybe they want to see that "splash" at the end. Thats the only they have the tape.

it shows a clue to the creature (s)

while iam having a rant i think there are two monsters mother and child

i download the movie cloverfieldi had i seen it in the movie theaters but i heard alot of thing about being clues stuff...so i watch the movie twice and repated going back n forth tryign to find out thing when i noticed at the begining of the movie is april 27 6:42 am thats when robert starts to use his camara and then he goes to coney island thats where he captures the satilite falling in the ocean...in other pages it say sumthing about slusho thats how the monster was created..if u here wat he say at the end when hes in central park under the tunnel with Elizabeth .. hes say ma name is robert right now is may 23 6:42...so the movie starts a 6:42 am and it ends at 6:42 am ...wats the meaning of that???....the first time

check this link out

after u see the video
go to 1-18-08.com that a cloverfield link it show a couple of pictures and one is related to this video chek it out and tell me wat ya think..

i thought the movie was ok but i wish it was longer and i didn't realy like the camera shaking all the time i wish it would have been more still when he was like we can get to the other building by walking on the rubble and stuff i told my friend yeah and we can also use the elevator that i about to fall and i don't see why they would even try to use the elevator i mean u don't use it when theres a fire so why use i when there i a freaken huge monster out side that can make me poop a brick

hey there, great film, some great comments... ok heres some ideas for sequels.
the start is odviously FBI or someone watching the video...who is it? have they suvived? could follow whoevers piecing the bits together...perhaps with other videos.
other video camera people...this would be good but i worry would take away the greatness of cloverfield. yes its awsome, but the idea of filming so long (n not long enoguh for many) is a bit far fethed. yse i think in cases of stress like that filming would maybe help-giving you purpose and allowing urself distance frmo the trouble...but to say other people did what this guy did...is a long shot
there is so much in this...and i dont think we'll ever get all the answers we want-making it, in my opinion, a true cult classic, one of the best sci-fi,romantic,action, thriller,horror dramas (with hints of comedy) of the year. i just hope the oscars dont shove it off due to its video camera moves

i know cloverfield is the name of the street of "bad robot" prodution hq but why do we have it as a title????????

this is awesome! saw the movie last night, and i did leave the place wondering what was going on but i didnt expect to find all this!

just been onto that tagruato website and found this about (possibly) the oil rig collapse reported in the secret video thing :

There has been an altercation at the Chaui Station. Although details are limited at present time, be assured that Tagruato is taking every measure necessary to ensure the safety and well being of all staff and crew. Specialty teams have been deployed, and are working aggressively to restore harmony at the site.

The cause of the problem is currently being investigated, although it is suspected that an eco-terror cell is responsible for the disturbance.

We have top investigators on our side. Everything will be resolved shortly, and all problems will be fixed. If you have any questions, please contact us at +81-3-5403-6318 for further instructions.

ring the number for further instructions? im feelin that. anyone else want to do it who isnt a student, feel free lol.

In the FINAL, FINAL scene of the film we see Beth and Rob on a ferris wheel at Coney Island. He pans the camera to his left to shoot the ocean and if you look to the far right of the screen you will see what appears to be the monster falling out of the sky and into the water [link]http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj17/mosai89/IMG_0235.jpg [/link] "JJ stated himself that the monster has been down at the bottom of the ocean for thousands of years. What fell into the ocean at the end of the movie was a satelitte. If you pay attention to the viral marketing, Taragutu's site states that one of their satelittes fell out of orbit and was lost. This is what woke up the monster from its dormant state." You be the judge....

I read on Wikipedia that the plot of the story was that a monster got separated from a group and ended up in New York.This means there is more of them and could lead to a sequal

The Quote from Wikipedia " The key idea behind the monster was that he was an immature creature suffering from "separation anxiety".

Spot on Matt. The director and Abrams have both talked about the idea that the creature is so enraged because it is a child separated from its parents.

That does suggest more.

I never noticed any of this but im really wanting to see it again now. And i don't think the myspace thing is relevant. If they had just destroyed new york the last thing Beth and Rob would be getting is internet access to update their myspace. Same with the chickwho got on the first chopper, internet would be a very low priority for her, seeing as everything and everyone she knew and loved had been destroyed.

Although i knew the cameraguy would get eatin, he talked to much =]

What happend to the woman in the first chopper. Did she die because as the chopper was leaving there was an explosion

I think so Matt. I can't rightly remember mind you.

First Review of ‘Cloverfield’ Confirms Everyone Dies, But in Some Awesome Way

I found this on the internet but also i found

"Lily gets into a helicopter and is separated from Hud, Beth and Rob. It is not really known what happens to her. They don't show her helicopter wrecked."

I found a cool bit of info its not relevant to the clues but interesting anyway The film was shipped to theaters under the fake title Bertha.

More backround on the monster

"The concept for the monster is simple. He's a baby. He's brand-new. He's confused, disoriented and irritable. And he's been down there in the water for thousands and thousands of years."

And where is he from? "We don't say deliberately," notes the writer, Drew Goddard. "Our movie doesn't have the scientist in the white lab coat who shows up and explains things like that. We don't have that scene."

The picture of the chef on www.18-01.08.com with a recipe written on it. The recipe means "seabed nectar" and this is relevant in 2 ways. One It mutated a sea creature to the monster or Two it comes from the monster. Also the man in the ally who the group cant understand is asking for help to find his familly and daughter and that he cant live without them.This answers the question is it a clue? the answer is NO

There is going to be a sequal from 4 different internet sources.

The monster movie will get a sequel after a great opening weekend.

In a move that may dismay many cinemagoers, Paramount has announced that 'Cloverfield' will be followed by a sequel.
