    Economically told from the start, the film moves beautifully.

    The tension is rooted in psychology rather than gimmickry, and evinces a command of craft that feels old-fashioned in the most refreshing possible sense.

    10 Cloverfield Lane...is not an outright Cloverfield sequel but rather, as Abrams has put it, a “spiritual successor.” It’s also a better movie, one with a sense of humor about itself and its genre.

    It's best to approach this crafty, intriguing offshoot as its own thing. And this time you actually notice the people.

    10 Cloverfield Lane does what it needs to do: make you sit and squirm and want very badly to know. It has the appeal of suspense radio plays from the '30s and '40s and even a touch of Orson Welles’s most infamous Mercury Theater broadcast.

    Board games, threats from Howard and desperate escape planning by Michelle take up most the picture. And then, first-time feature director Dan Trachtenberg and the screenwriters, apparently realizing that not much has been going on so far, ramp up to a full-bore CG explosion extravaganza finale...Too little. Too late.

Starring the fabulous John Goodman, Scott Pilgrim's girlfriend and some dude with a beard. The acting and atmosphere is simply amazing. Although not what you expect I'm calling it a monster movie, and it's a monster movie actually worth your time (looking at you Godzilla). Loved it from start to finish, gripping, shocking, intense, it's a definite recommendation. Seriously, get to a cinema and see this movie,… Expand

ATenuously connected to 2008’s ‘Cloverfield’ but very much its own film, this is a superbly acted thriller which is edge of the seat stuff. A lot of the drama takes place in a bunker that is sheltering three people from an unknown outside terror which, according to the viewpoint of one of the three- Michelle, may not exist. The actors are great and the claustrophobic feel in the bunker is well utilised enabling the suspense and tension to build effectively. In fact, so good are the scenes within the bunker at questioning the motives of John Goodman's character that one almost forgets to consider whether the terror they are hiding from is real or not. Only when the action moves outside does one immediately guess what the truth of the situation is. The score and the terrific sound effectively jangle the nerves throughout contributing to a very impressive feature film debut by director Dan Trachtenberg. The ending leaves some room for a sequel which, in the event, could be as different from this film as this one is from ‘Cloverfield’.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Be prepared for a very tense, jarring ride. There really is not much in the way of special effects in this film. Maybe 80% is the build-up with the survivalist stuff, but there are many subterranean thrills a la Mission Impossible, Hard Candy, and Night of the Living Dead (though not in the way you might think). The acting is excellent all-around. My only concern is that it gets a little campy toward the end when she escapes and is fighting the "baddies" (won't say what it is). I get the feeling she's doing an Ash impersonation from Evil Dead at times. Worth seeing, but certainly not among the genre's best.… Expand
