10 Cloverfield Lane Ratings & Reviews
- TanalienNovember 2, 2024Looking back on the experience, the rest of the film was just as fantastic as the opening five minutes. 10 Cloverfield Lane is a tight composition, set almost entirely in an underground bunker with just three characters. To its credit, the film does not put all its chips on a single thread of tension. It juggles between notes of humor, contrition, and grief.
- Halim MellickJuly 28, 2025Best of the Cloverfield series and would probably work even better as a standalone movie
- LeadMuffinsMarch 5, 2025Started out good ended up one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Also @KillyJean is fat.

- RyezooFebruary 14, 2025The movie lived up to every one of my expectations. It's well shot, super intense, and the acting from John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead was fantastic. Making things even more impressive is that this is Dan Trachtenbergs first feature film. I bought into all the mysteriousness of the movie because it didn't matter what was happening above ground. All that mattered was figuring out if what John Goodman is telling our main character was the truth or is he completely crazy. There are many scenes that are standouts in the film like the opening and the dinner scenes because the viewer is easily able to feel the tension brewing. I also haven't felt as claustrophobic in the movies than I did while watching a scene involving an air condition unit. For me the third act worked. Some might feel it feels shoehorned into the movie, but I feel it fits it perfectly. Can't say much more without spoiling this film but do yourself a favor and go see this intense thriller. Just keep in mind that this is a blood retaliative to Cloverfield.
- jackmeatJanuary 15, 2025My quick rating - 6.9/10. I finally got around to watching this one on New Year’s Eve (12/31/23) — happy new year, everyone! It was an interesting pick for the occasion, though I could’ve done without the opening scene of a massive car crash, given the circumstances. That said, the film is an engaging and suspenseful thriller that easily surpasses the original Cloverfield in the story department although they are totally different types of movies. One reason for this improvement lies in the film’s origins. 10 Cloverfield Lane began as a standalone script (The Cellar) and was later adapted into the Cloverfield universe. While the connection feels a bit forced, particularly in the rushed and tacked-on ending, it doesn’t significantly detract from the overall quality. The movie remains a well-crafted psychological thriller with a sharp focus on character-driven tension. Set primarily in a confined, claustrophobic bunker, the film thrives on its small, core cast and their evolving dynamics. Mary Elizabeth Winstead shines as the protagonist, pulling us into her perspective as the story unfolds with subtle twists and turns. John Goodman is a standout as Howard, delivering an unsettling performance that blurs the line between paranoia and reason. His portrayal ensures that we’re constantly questioning his motives and the truth of the situation. The film wisely prioritizes story over special effects, building suspense through character interactions and the ever-present tension of the unknown. Its ability to keep you on edge is a testament to strong writing and direction (Dan Trachtenberg). However, one drawback is an unresolved plot point (or maybe I missed it) that left me scratching my head. In summary, 10 Cloverfield Lane is an intriguing and tightly executed thriller that keeps you guessing until the end. While its connection to the Cloverfield universe might feel a little forced, the film’s compelling mystery and excellent performances make it well worth a watch.
- qmechanJanuary 23, 2025In a bunker, three folks are confined, Though they may not be wholly aligned. Is the world really gone, Or is it just a con? Is the apocalypse all in his mind?
- Eric BakkeNovember 5, 202410 Cloverfield Lane took me on a thrilling, unpredictable ride. The tension is relentless, and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat.
- The Gutter MonkeyOctober 19, 2024A cool concept with interesting characters. Too bad it fumbles the ball in the final act.
