Superior to the first.

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2019)

Going for a genuine film instead of a found-footage film, 10 Cloverfield Lane's strong direction, standout performance from Mary Elizabeth Winstead and claustrophobic nature helps make this film superior to the first. The ties to the previous film are thin at best, but it's so good as a standalone film that, when it did reference the first, it didn't take me out of the film. Truly great film.
