Cloverfield Lane Keeps You Guessing - Worth a watch

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2016)

The film keeps you guessing for quite a while and I found it very watchable. It left me wanting more.
Is Howard just a nut? or is he a little deranged because it is the end of the world?
Who exactly is Emmett? Why is Michell there? Who is/are the bad guy(s) or are they outside?
The acting and build up for suspense works very well in the first half of the film.
Midway though I felt it lost a bit of steam. It seemed rather 'forced' the way Howard was discovered to have abducted a girl (who was never seen again) and suddenly he was an out and out monster.
Shortly after he executes Emmett and Michell flees for her life.
The film then picks up speed again and follows Michell as she manages to escape outside.
I was left wanting to know more detail on the 'invasion'. I felt they could have given a bit more time for us to explore the world outside the bunker.
Having said that, the sign of a good book or film, is you want to know more! ......... I definitely did.
Worth a watch, 7.5/10
p.s. Howard spend years preparing his bunker but the air filtration controls only accessible by wriggling thru an air vent.WTF!!!
