Critics Consensus

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's well acted, nuanced, and surprisingly effective. A definite must-see thriller.

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.

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.

The way this movie deals with relationships, the terror of the unknown, and the incredibly thin veneer of society in a way that is so real that you just feel it in your bones.

Saw it when it came out, liked it, was surprised that so few I knew also saw it, and if they did, some didn't care for it. I think the found footage first Cloverfield threw off a lot of people. This is completely different. I just watched it with a friend and he loved it. He loved the plot twists, the slow then sometimes abrupt reveals. He didn't love the direction the ending took, but it was still fun, and everything up till that was really good. Goodman should have gotten better accolades, he was fantastic. He did get lots of horror film festival or local festival credits, but deserved something bigger.

I remember watching this movie twice when it was playing in the movie theater. The second viewing was with my sister, who wanted to take me to a fancy dine-in theater to see a movie as a birthday gift. Anyway, I still find it fascinating that the movie's marketing was so "hush hush" about the plot details that barely anyone noticed the obvious hint that this was a sequel to the other movie, which also had a great marketing campaign that surprised a lot of viewers. Ah, how I miss the old days when you could see a movie and not have the entire plot spoiled for you by the marketing promos. Also, I am a very firm believer that John Goodman should have received all the major acting awards that year because of his work in this movie.
