‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ Review: Something Wicked This Way Comes?

Flying under the radar with the working title Valencia, the latest feature from producer J.J. Abrams was only linked to his previous Cloverfield project when trailers first surfaced last month under the current title. Directed by first-timer Dan Trachtenberg, 10 Cloverfield Lane is, in Abrams’ words, a “spiritual successor” to Matt Reeves’ unusually gripping 2008 monster movie, rather than a literal sequel.


Any disclaimers seem unlikely to assuage longstanding expectations for a follow-up, especially since promos for the film clearly hint at something otherworldly overshadowing the narrative. Trachtenberg favors a slow build getting to the final reveal, however, and although some may miss the immediacy of a rampaging kaiju destroying everything in its path, this is an entirely different breed of movie that’s potentially even more effective for its shift in style and tone. Irrepressible fanboy anticipation aside, Paramount’s enticing viral marketing campaign and enthusiastic word of mouth could propel the release to a strong showing going into the spring break season.
