Review of 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) by Greatmartin — 11 Mar 2016
"10 Cloverfield Lane" is a mix of sci-fi, horror, psychological, suspenseful, damsel in distress thriller and survival movie. Fifteen of the last 25 minutes are some of the most tense times I have spent watching a movie. In addition the soundtrack music of Bear McCreary sometimes is annoying but at most times add to what is happening on the screen.
Most of the story asks if Howard (John Goodman) has really saved/rescued Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) or is he a psycho? Have aliens invaded earth making the air inhabitable or is Howard keeping Michelle and Emmett (John Gallagher, Jr.) prisoners for his own twisted reasons?
"10 Cloverfield Lane" is not as claustrophobic as "Room" was and certainly more well furnished not to mention more extended with many rooms for a lot more incidents to happen.
While the main theme is whether Goodman is crazy or not it really revolves around Winstead who has the audience on her side.
