Smart, solidly crafted, and palpably tense, 10 Cloverfield Lane makes the most of its confined setting and outstanding cast -- and suggests a new frontier for franchise filmmaking.

It works best whenever Goodman swaggers into frame, a slack-jawed psycho with a cuddly side.

10 Cloverfield Lane might not be a true sequel to Cloverfield, but that doesn't make it any less magnificent, watching it a spellbinding treat I simply did not want to see come to an end.

2.5/4

Terrific performances and some effective staging are worthy enough to earn this a soft recommendation. Just don’t expect many more surprises than one would find in any given episode of Matlock.

4/5

Starring a powerhouse trio of Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman, and John Gallagher Jr., the spiritual sequel is a tense potboiler that could easily work as a play.

Through canny camera placement, fine-tuned framing, savvy editing, a foreboding score and a willingness to take its time, the claustrophobic thriller has great fun teasing its audience.

10 Cloverfield Lane" is a tight, tense thriller carried by excellent performances from John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. It has echoes of Alfred Hitchcock and H.G. Wells embedded in a cat-and-mouse game after the end of the world.

10 Cloverfield Lane is a masterclass in making uncertainty terrifying. What begins as a mysterious survival story quickly becomes something much more psychologically unsettling. After Michelle wakes up in an underground bunker, Howard tells her that the outside world has been devastated and that leaving means certain death. The brilliance of the film is that it never asks you to simply believe him, it makes you question him. And then it makes you question yourself for believing him. John Goodman is extraordinary as Howard. He can be warm and paternal one moment, then quietly terrifying the next. The performance works because you are never quite sure which version of him is real. Is he protecting Michelle? Is he manipulating her? Is he genuinely trying to save her? The movie keeps those possibilities alive just long enough to make every interaction uncomfortable.

What’s best about this flick is that it keeps you guessing about what is up there, who can be even remotely trusted, and what decisions are best made or not made.

(Overall Rating: 4.08/5) (Very Good) --- (Cinematography/Atmosphere: 4.25/5) For taking place almost entirely in 1 space, this film does a fantastic job on creating an intriguing mood that keeps your eyes glued. --- (Storyline/Plot: 4/5) I loved the back and forth on what might be actually happening, the movie did a great job on keeping you guessing and in the dark. A few questions left unanswered though. --- (Acting: 3.75/5) John Goodman was masterful with his mannerisms. The other 2 were just ok. --- (Character Quality: 3.75/5) The characters were decently written. Howard was unsettling, Emmett was boring and Michelle at least wasnt making silly decisions. --- (Entertainment Value: 4.5/5) This movie kept me hooked the whole time. Not really a mind bender but definite psychological tension. Really fun watch. --- (Expectations vs. Reality: 4.25/5) I have wanted to watch this for a while now and I was not dissapointed.
