Shadow in the Cloud

Critics Consensus

Part creature feature, part war movie, and part social commentary, Shadow in the Cloud doesn't always blend its ingredients evenly -- but it's frequently pulpy fun.

Movie Info

In the throes of World War II, Captain Maude Garrett (CHLOË GRACE MORETZ) joins the all-male crew of a B-17 bomber with a top-secret package. Caught off guard by the presence of a woman on a military flight, the crew tests Maude's every move. Just as her quick wit is winning them over, strange happenings and holes in her backstory incite paranoia surrounding her true mission. But this crew has more to fear... lurking in the shadows, something sinister is tearing at the heart of the plane. Trapped between an oncoming air ambush and an evil lurking within, Maude must push beyond her limits to save the hapless crew and protect her mysterious cargo.

Audience Reviews for Shadow in the Cloud

  • Jan 03, 2021
    "Hit-Girl" from Kick Ass is still kicking ass as the lead in this cross between episodes of The Twilight Zone ("Nightmare at 20,000 Feet") and Amazing Stories "The Mission" (a cartoonist gunner on a WWII B-17). Shadow in the Cloud is many things. Purposefully (and uncomfortably) misogynistic. Taut. Fun. Stupid. "Looney Tunes." Over the Top. Major suspension of disbelief required. And ultimately entertaining if you can handle your "cheese." P.S. Is it just me or is there a John Carpenter-ish synth score cropping up a few times?
