The title makes it clear: 10 Cloverfield Lane was at least somewhat inspired by Matt Reeves’ Cloverfield, in which aliens spectacularly attack New York. Coming out of nowhere, its existence announced just a few weeks before its release, Dan Trachtenberg’s movie would be better off not linking itself to that film (which is above all a marketing ploy) to maintain its mystery. But no matter: this false sequel to Cloverfield is an excellent, well-structured B movie, which embraces its own illogical plot for 1:45 of pure suspense. With an absolutely perfect trio of actors (John Goodman has seldom been more amazing), the movie is completely entertaining from the first to the last minute. The perfect movie for lovers of the genre and recommendable to all others.
