10 Cloverfield Lane

Billed as a "spiritual successor" to Cloverfield, I went into this one blind, since I had not seen Cloverfield.  Produced by J.J. Abrams, I figured it must be pretty good.

Not much more need to be said.  It becomes a mashup of familiar movie plots, from Ex Machina, to Lifeboat, to Close Encounters, to Misery, and so on.  I'll let you be surprised like I was.

Starring John Goodman ( the R-Rated version) and some other no-names.
