10 Cloverfield Lane
One of the early hits of 2016 is 10 Cloverfield Lane, a brilliant work of psychological horror which for the majority of its runtime involves little more than a small bunker, a young woman, two shady men and a shitload of bad vibes to construct a paranoid braintwister of a film. It’s true that its final moments devolve into a generic scifi actioner (as if to conclude any doubts whether this was truly a successor to Cloverfield), but most of us don’t think of 10 Cloverfield Lane that way. Most of us really see it as a 15 million dollar production consisting of John Goodman not only chewing the scenery for the majority of the film’s runtime, but swallowing the scenery whole.
