Is This 'Cloverfied 2' Viral Video?

So what are we looking at here, exactly? I can't say for sure. It could be an out-of-the-blue viral video for Cloverfield 2, which is what it looks like it's trying to be, or it could be a homemade hoax.

I'm saying fake.
I think so... it is fake
This is crap, the fact that this has people buzzing is a joke.
That was filmed in Santa Monica, California on the 3rd Street promenade. You can see a street sign which says "Cloverfield", it's the street that the Cloverfield production offices were on, hence the name of the movie.
Weird, its Santa Monica, but of course the road sign.
It's pretty bad even for a viral video... I say fake as well.
Hmm... Sorry to say, but I have also a fake feelings... I mean... they won't use "Cloverfield" word in the viral promotion to "Cloverfield" (if there would be seen Slusho!, I'd be more impressed (use it, dear faker :-))
Btw, which language is it? it is not Japanese, beside of the clip title "そこに何ですか？", which sounds for me also not really Japanese. I'd say either "それが何ですか？", or "そこに何があるの?" or so...
Yeah, what you said.
Listen, I'm just the gate keeper here. I don't know Santa Monica from the dark side of the moon, so I appreciate that input. As I said before, it's probably phony, but it looks like you'd expect something for this to look.
Thanks for the comments; it was certainly worth the discussion, I think.
Was legit for me until the suprise.
AT 30 seconds freeze frame look way to poorly done and to big.
Cloverfield is mroe subtle then giant monster takes up skyline, it s more pretty skyline, is that mountain moving? MONSTER
My buddy works a few blocks from where this was shot and says there's no street named Cloverfield there. Of course, he is a complete imbecile.
bait
Not a bad amateur attempt, but certainly not an official viral attempt.
