Worth a visit

Rating: 7/10 (20 March 2017)

Plot; A young woman is in a car accident and awakens inside the underground shelter of a man who claims that aboveground is now uninhabitable.
Taut, tense thriller for the bulk of its running time, but the last 15 minutes or so feel grafted on to make it match up with the decade old found footage film Cloverfield. The latter I've seen once, with chunks of it on fast forward thanks to an overload of shaky cam and extremely unlikeable characters, such as they are. Cloverfield Lane is a more traditional film, with three co-leads who each give compelling, albeit vastly different, performances. It's ultimately their interaction that makes this worth a watch, somewhat lame finale aside.
