Way Better Than It's Predecessor.

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2016)

To be honest, I didn't know this film was a sequel to the film "Cloverfield". I know these two films have similar titles but I guess I didn't put two and two together. From what I can remember from "Cloverfield", "10 Cloverfield Lane" was a little better. "10 Cloverfield Lane didn't really rely on huge special effects, breath taking CGI and jumping out of your seat scares to maintain an interesting story. The story-line and plot of this film was constructed on pure suspense, drama, and mystery. In a lot of ways that can be scarier than having an actual alien or monster in the film and that's what made this film what it was, also it takes a talented writer to write a tense and suspenseful story that takes place in one small confined area for at least 95% of the film. This film fits right up there with "Locke", "Phone Booth", and "Wrecked". With the mystery of John Goodman's character, Howard, the two other sheltered or captive individuals, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Gallagher Jr., have to wonder rather or not to trust the man that "rescued" them and that's basically what the plot is but from that a powerful story emerges.
