Very Surprised that this was ACTUALLY GOOD!

Rating: 8/10 (9 December 2016)

The whole idea of making 10 Cloverfield Lane filled me with trepidation the moment it was announced.
Things got yet more worrying when it became clear that the film was going to have NO CONNECTION to CLOVERFIELD...
But the trailers looked interesting, so I gave it a chance...
...Damn Glad I did!
There is not much in the way of effects to speak of until quite late on, Make up Effects are ASTOUNDING and very believable.
John Goodman is excellent in his role, and truly creepy...
The film is Tense, Really Tense... If you have avoided Spoiler talk online, then this film will have you on the edge of your seat... Not scared but Tense and Bewildered.
So - Basing my views on did the film achieve its goal of entertaining me? YES... Yes it did!!!
Its slow burning, So if you like action and blood... Look elsewhere - This is Psychological Tension not a all guns blazing action romp!
So Yup - I enjoyed it and you are probably now asking if I have anything bad to say about it...
Well... Yeah! I do... The Ending is so Cliché... Don't get me wrong, its fitting but it is Cliché!
In fact, I feel they could have ended the movie far better with a darker ending... But that's just my view and I do not want to include spoilers.
Much of the film is Guesswork - Trying to work out what the hell is going on, who is telling the truth, what really is going on around the lead characters.
So seriously, If you have managed to avoid Spoilers and have NOT seen the film - SEE IT... Its a slow burn movie but it works well! A Must watch at least once!
And if I am honest - Far Better than Cloverfield ever was!
