10 Cloverfield Lane

The ending is what ruined it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just for the end

Thought it was gonna be wayyyyy better, maybe it’s because I watched it on a plane and I have to give it another go but I remember being disappointed after watching this.

Loved it

Rating: 7.9/10

10 Cloverfield Lane is a masterfully tense, claustrophobic psychological thriller that subverts expectations with a powerhouse performance from John Goodman.

Highlights
- Suspenseful Script: A masterwork of suspense with a compelling core mystery and effective third-person narrative.
- Strong Performances: John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead deliver phenomenal performances as Howard and Michelle.
- Effective Direction: Director Dan Trachtenberg maintains unbearable tension within a contained location.

Criticisms
- Polarizing Ending: The abrupt shift into sci-fi action can be jarring, feeling like a different movie.
- Tonal Shift: The finale's tonal shift and introduction of CGI aliens contrast with the practical tension.

Verdict
10 Cloverfield Lane is a superior spiritual successor, a uniquely terrifying beast with 90 minutes of sheer tension. A must-see for thriller fans, despite the divisive ending.

had me on edge the whole time
