Overall, the craftsmanship on display pretty stimulating and Trachtenberg has put his name into the hat of directors you need to watch out for in the near future.

| Original Score: A- | Aug 1, 2024

[...] this is a film that gleefully revels in its own expressionist undertones, and the fact that it’s a part of the “Cloverfield” universe only goes to benefit from that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2022

This is one of the best films of the last 10-20 years, just like Cloverfield was. One day I hope the grander film community will get there. These deserve to be up there with all the great sci-fi/horror films. They’re just about perfect.

It may look like a simple premise, but this three-person show is a nicely deceitful, wily character study and chilling adventure.

10 Cloverfield Lane is about monsters, both literal and metaphorical.You don't wind up where you initially think, and things never take the expected turn.

| Original Score: A | Jul 3, 2020

The storytelling present here is totally in the zone. The 'Twilight Zone,' that is. It's a classic character-driven tension-fest that would've been perfectly at home in Rod Serling's universe.

It's great expanding the Cloverfield's diegetic universe by working as a metaphor for the collective hysteria of a society about to destroy itself. [Full review in Spanish]

The lack of solid character development made for a generous lack of tension.

The suspense of 10 Cloverfield Lane would never have worked without the subtle performance of John Goodman in the role of Howard.

I'm fine with an expansion to the Cloverfield universe, as long as it's done with this level of quality and intelligence. Trachtenberg has made a film that's a solid crowd pleaser, and we can't ask for more than that.
