Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's well acted, nuanced, and surprisingly effective. A definite must-see thriller. Rated: B+ Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times It works best whenever Goodman swaggers into frame, a slack-jawed psycho with a cuddly side. Rated: 3/5 Dec 28, 2016 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: 4/4 Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …10 Cloverfield lane might just be the most intense PG-13 movie ever…those who enjoy a good old Hitchcockian power-play should find plenty to enjoy here in an edge of the seat movie which understands that tension is more effective than any special effect… Rated: 4/5 Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Brian Bisesi Horror Movie Club Podcast 10 Cloverfield Lane takes the time to flesh out nuanced character dynamics without sacrificing its thrilling pace. The script, direction, and acting all serve to keep this practically single setting film engaging and exciting Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 25, 2024 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Overall, the craftsmanship on display pretty stimulating and Trachtenberg has put his name into the hat of directors you need to watch out for in the near future.

bill e Sticks the landing! Winstead shines Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review useyour I "10 Cloverfield Lane" is a capricious blast of horror, drama, and science fiction all rolled into one twisty enigma. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Lila M the movie was good but the ending sucked extremely bad, it was a cliff hanger and for how long the movie is they could have ended it so many different ways, i wish they would have changed the ending or given us more info about the murder thing with howard? we also never learn what happens at the base and we don’t see anyone infected other the the original girl and the one in the shed? what happened to megan and or the other girl that emmett knew? to many unfinished things in the movie. this is why i would recommend it more then once Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Dennis T Great and thrilling movie that'll make your mind into goo tryna figure out if you're being lied to or if he's telling the truth and when you find out the answer it's jaw dropping Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Jace T It's been a while since I have seen this movie, but I will never forget how it made me feel upon my first time watching it. This is an absolutely amazing, intriguing, and thrilling psychological drama with a pinch of alien invasion. It is much more of a psychological horror movie, than it is an alien invasion movie like the original Cloverfield. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review The Dry T Is there more than one adaptation of this movie? The 1st one I saw was decent. But what I just watched was a train-wreck. Did I just watch a "directors cut"? Or did the editors trash it? Goodman, protect your rights. Everyone was good until the last 3 minutes, but Mandela Effect me, who switched the ending, for worse?
