1. It's real. Tagruato is actually a real company and they're facing bankruptcy because of this. The CIA is also trying to get their hands on some seabed nectar. It was in a Yahoo article a few days ago. Oh and there are videos on youtube of a tragruato station crashing. I know the monster is "fake" but this makes me think otherwise. It might be a coverup.

2. Slusho is actually the blood of the monster. Tagruato was drilling and their drills penetrated the monster digging out blood. Tagruato found it near the surface and thought it tasted good, so they marketed it. The monster was mad.

3. Tagruato thought it was a japanese satellite, but nobody knows what it is for sure. Tagruato are known liars about stocks and bribes, so I wouldn't doubt it.

4. The sequel is already out dumbut... Google cloverfield 2 you can find some online clips.

Hope that helped and welcome to the forums, ignore Rusty he's mean to newcomers

Welcome, at best and to say the least- go through the threads and find topics that sound like they might answer a question or two.

As for the monster's origin- Anything you read is all speculation [except for anything surrounding the 'Production Notes.'

Any theories on what Slusho! [Seabed's Nectar] is- are just speculations, not truth.

Slusho! Tagruato, and Jamie were all discreetly placed through out the movie. If you've been following the ARG/ARE/VMC then you would pick up on them/see them. This movie was made to be able to stand w/o any back story.

and don't let any assholes deter you from asking questions. Just ask and separate sarcasm from actual legit answers...

And I would go in the opposite direction of anything Kraker just said... Tagruato is fictional.

I'm sorry, that was uncalled for...

but it seemed like an opportunity.

Wow, rough crowd.

So they spent all that time to make that stuff up about Tagruato and Slusho just to hype up the movie? And they made characters get myspace accounts and had videos and all that stuff for the movie? That seems like a lot of hype to build up a movie, especially when 90% of the people that go see it have no idea about any of this...

Was this movie based off a book written awhile back?

It's alright CP4, obviously you haven't been following this stuff since July like the rest of us dorks, so let's get you up to speed as to what we are all babbling about. Follow me now:

1. Tagruato is the fictional company that owns the drilling stations and the Slusho! brand. The Chuai station is the driiling station that was destroyed by either the monster or T.I.D.O Wave (an enviromentalist group bent on taking Tagruato down because they believe the company's drilling stations are disrupting the sea life). This backstory was put in place to keep us all busy until the movie came out so we wouldn't lose interest in Cloverfield. It may however be incorporated in a future sequel but it is too soon to know.

2. Some believe Slusho! changes people due to secret ingredients found beneath the ocean floor (Sea Bed Nectar). Some speculate this SBN made the monster grow. Again, just speculation, because we've seen the fictional drink in many shows and it has done nothing supernatural to those who consumed it. No one knows for certain where the monster came from but the smaller creatures are described as parasites which is not uncommon to many species on this planet.

Moving on...

3. Tagruato lost a satellite that fell from the sky. Some speculate this is what is seen falling from the sky while others believe it's the monster. Hence all the squabbling going here at Unfiction. You decide.

4. It is true at the end of the movie it is said "Help us." It is also true that when this audio is played in reverse it says "It's still alive".

And lastly, yes, I'm sure there will be a sequel because Hollywood loves money and the fans are asking for it.

Nuff said, I hopes this helps my friend.
