10 Cloverfield Lane

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2020)

10 Cloverfield Lane is the spiritual successor to Cloverfield. Although not a direct sequel to Cloverfield it does share an overall tone and general creepiness that the first film had in spades. The sense of tension and dread that was present throughout the film was remarkable, and it impressed me that they could maintain that throughout the film. The well-crafted story that was expertly written by Damien Chazelle, Josh Campbell, Daniel Casey, and Matthew Stuecken. The directing was also on point, and both Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman stole the show with their performances. I did not see that ending coming. It was a delightful movie to watch, and I wished we got a direct sequel to this film just like I wanted for Cloverfield. Oh well. A great film to check out during our self-isolation.
