I just saw it and liked it overall. Sure I fast forwarded it through some of the "stumble through the dark" scenes, but the writing and direction was strong.

I recommend the special features on the DVD. I appreciated the insight that Spoiler: the monster is a scared infant rather than a purely malicious adult.

I don't know if it needs a sequel but some companion comic books and shorts would be cool. Actually, a sequel collecting 10-15min POV footage from several disparate cameras and extended news clips would most excellent.

I'm not really interested in the aftermath though. "Hammer Down" is all we need to know.
