10 Cloverfield Lane could be considered a distant-relative of its predecessor but the two are not directly linked – at all. For that reason, where viewers can expect certain tonal elements of the original film to resurface in Trachtenberg’s movie, ticket buyers should base their interest on what is shown in the trailer – not what they might hope has been left out. Trachtenberg doesn’t drive toward an earth-shattering reveal or over-arching moral, so moviegoers who want answers to every question will be left to fill in more than a few blanks (not to be mistaken as plot holes) on their own. Still, on its own terms, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a top-notch movie experience – with solid execution from a passionate freshman filmmaker. Trachtenberg has produced a taut, humorous, and often terrifying debut – one that will, without a doubt, have plenty of fans crying for another entry (be it sequel or spiritual successor) in the Cloverfield series.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
This movie was bloody awesome!! It's just a roller coaster ride of "what's gonna happen next". I have not seen a movie like it in a long time.
My advice: Watch it high and don't try too hard to make sense of it.
