It really has nothing to do with the first Cloverfield

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2020)

I read reviews saying this had nothing to do with the first Cloverfield movie but I still wanted to watch the first one first, in case there was some link to it. Nope, this can be viewed as a standalone movie entirely so I have no idea why they had to use 'Cloverfield' in the name.. And it is a superior movie; I would make it an 8/10 if it weren't for the ending, which if not bad per se is definitely not on par with the rest of the movie. More psychological thriller than sci-fi with fantastic acting; I guess when you have only 3 actors in your movie, even with a small budget you can afford good ones.
