Wonderful Disorientation

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2016)

As a big fan of the original film, I did a little geek-squeal when the trailer for this one appeared out of nowhere!
I'm delighted to say this didn't disappoint at all. The story was gripping and kept me guessing throughout, and all three leads were spot on - Goodman firing on all cylinders, and Winstead perfectly striking the balance between terrified and gutsy.
The film's biggest strength, however, is also the chink in its armour: the first ¾ of the film is played for such grim realism that some people find the last section a little hard to swallow. I say just go with it!
Definitely worth a watch, whether you enjoyed Cloverfield or not.
