10 Cloverfield Lane

Sat in a very dark cinema my brain screamed "YAAAAS" at the performances from John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

TRIGGER WARNING: Imprisonment/Gore.
Can you have a trigger warning for Aliens?
Whoops, just gave away something big... well c'mon you should really have at least an idea of what Cloverfield was about.

And I mean it...

I can already tell that 10 Cloverfield Lane will be snubbed and underrated all year round. Let me just put it out there right now, John Goodman takes the god damn cocking biscuit with how well he plays his creepy yet somewhat adorable character. He plays Howard, who steals Mary Elizabeth Winstead, playing Michelle, off the road after crashing into her car. Michelle incidentally was running away from her boyfriend after a big fight. Then big old Howard comes along and locks her up, because apparently the 'air up in the normal world is contaminated'.

So yeah, it seems to be a hostage situation, until we meet Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.) stuck down in this bunker with the two. Yet he was trying to get in when the world was 'attacked'. So Michelle is opened up the somewhat psychotic, yet lovable world of Howard the conspiracy theorist.
And there's nothing I love more than a conspiracy theory.

I loved this film from start to finish, John Goodman is flawless as ever. If you are a fan of him like me, you should go into watching this with an open mind, because he is half the cuddly bear you wish him to be every minute of every day, and half a raging lunatic. The character of Howard is very manipulative, and I can promise you that that is the most scary and unnerving factor about this film.

All along I thought this was directed by J.J. Abrams, ah beloved J.J. (He only produced it).
But nah it was directed Dan Tratchenberg, and I have to say he really made it his own, and basically he's done very little else, so kudos to him for this... my first favourite film of 2016. Yeah, and y'know what, it comes above The god damn Revenant.
Anyway, if you like Sci-Fi and a lovely homey South American aesthetic, then make sure to go see this. If for any reason, I would say that the storyline is awesome and when John Goodman smiles in a certain way, your heart will just burst.
But, like one minute you wanna be shut down in the bunker with these poor people, next minute you want to punch Goodman's character in his face....

PLUS YOU GET TO SEE JOHN GOODMAN DO A LITTLE TWERKING!!!!
