10 CLOVERFIELD LANE (2016)

Cast

Plot

Michelle breaks up with her boyfriend and, in a panicked drive interstate, ends up unconcious in her vehicle by the side of the road. Thankfully, Howard was driving by and took her to his nearby home where he put her on a drip and nursed her back to health - well, sort of. When Michelle comes to she finds herself in his cellar, in a locked room, handcuffed to the wall. Howard says an alien apocalypse is taking place but Michelle isn't so sure. What follows is a tense thriller, with a decent bout of comedy thrown in for good measure. Some genuinely terrifying moments, and while both Goodman and Winstead are brilliant, the film falls a little flat in its final act. The so-called 'cousin' to monster movie Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane is good fun.
