few things

1. Nice choices on equipment

2. Grain gives dark scenes detail

3. Very few movies (28 days later) are shot on a standard definition camera. Most use film which has resolutions well over 1080p.

4. Grain has nothing to do with the resolution of the film, it has to do with the type of film stock that was used and/or if the film is shot digitally (which should yield no grain)

5. Digital does not equal HD, just the fact that the information is stored in "0s" and "1s".

6. Sorry, that I don't know what cameras were used in Cloverfield or the Orphanage, but Im assuming that the Orphanage was shot with film that was very grain heavy.

7. Don't get grain and noise confused. grain should be there, noise due to compression shouldn't. Compression noise is most likely what you are seeing on your DirectTv.
