I guess I'm one of the few that really liked the ending. They needed something that shifted the film in a big way otherwise I feel it could have had a letdown finish.
+WrecklessEating I liked it but it was a drastic shift from the pace of the previous minutes. Both endings had merit but this is the only one we'll see.
+GoodBadFlicks I'm really curious what the other ending was. Is there a script available?
+genki831 I pretty sure the original ending was Michelle escaping the bunker from Howard, who didn't die. She gets in the car and drives down empty roads with no one to be seen. She climbs up a hill and sees Chicago destroyed, she then takes off the vest and gas mask before taking a deep breath.
So basically, the ending I would have preferred.
+genki831 exactly! That ending is so much more... devastating yet satisfying. That ending would have put The Cellar up there with Se7en and The Mist for the most emotionally dark and brilliant films ever made, but instead they made it a quick fix, forget it in a week, give the audience what they expected ending.
10/10rated john goodman great
I absolutely loved the ending. I didn't think they'd have the balls to do it.
i loved this movie, and i didnt even watch it as a cloverfield sequal
I liked this movie.
Then again I've got a foot fetish so, there's that.
Lankey Bastard what
Is there a review for "the Witch" coming soon? I really wanna hear on it
I'm one of the people who were following this movie'd ARG, so the ending didn't seem nearly as left field as it did to others. I really enjoyed the Hitchcock levels of suspense in this film. I think most everyone would enjoy this movie.
Get better soon, and as always thanks for making these videos.
I think it definitely owes its financial gains and popularity to being tied in to the Cloverfield universe. Without the title or connections it would've possibly passed under the radar, but would've still been a solidly cast dark psychological thriller. I like the ending myself, as I felt the duality of threat helped crank the tension even higher (bad shit going on up above, bad shit going on down below in the bunker), and like Cloverfield the monster/alien threat is secondary to the human emotion and interaction. Saw it last night, and still can't get this movie out of my head. That to me is testament to how tight and scary the movie is. It's rare that a thriller movie can interlace with sci-fi, but they pulled this off well, and I think a small scale, low budget movie like this deserves its box office success. See it for the performances alone- John Goodman has raised the bar for creepy psychopaths everywhere!
I liked this movie, but would've preferred if they'd cast some more doubt and suspicion on Emmett and drawn that out a bit longer---I only viewed him as sketchy up until the dinner scene. Also, I think the original ending that they'd written would've been better suited, though I realize that then they couldn't have directly linked it to "Cloverfield." ....unless they'd made sure all the props were no later than 2008, and rewrote the setting of the bunker to a NYC suburb where she could see the Manhattan catastrophe from afar after escaping to the surface....i.e.: Southern Westchester County/Northern Staten Island/Eastern Queens/Western Long Island/NorthEastern NJ.
Next time you do a review of a modern movie spoil the shit out of it. I watch internet reviews of movies currently in theaters because I don't intend on seeing the film, like ever. So spoilers are much appreciated. I might decide to watch it when It's on Netflix or Hulu, but that just means I have a very low opinion of the movie in question. It also means I can't be arsed to pay $20 to see a movie that might be a piece of shit.
*SPOILERS* I think the ending would have been better if she had either been killed by the threat outside or never confronted it at all and just drove off uncertain of whether the air was poison or not. The whole thing about what she heard on the radio and what she did about it made it seem like I the projectionist accidentally loaded up a different movie all of sudden.
You should check out the Metal Hurlant Chronicles episode Shelter Me... and let me know how you like it. Very similar themes to this movie.
The ending wrapped everything up really well. While I would have probably liked the "Oh he was just nuts" approach....I did enjoy the ending.
Maybe had they stopped at "Oh you gotta be kidding me" more people would like it?
IDK i thought this was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
This was a good movie. The acting is spectacular, and the performances of Goodman and Winstead are very nearly enough to carry the film on their own. The script is pretty great and the mystery is very intriguing. The music and sound design were impeccable. I loved how far they pushed the PG-13 rating. Seriously, with a few more minutes of footage added this could be a moderate R. But I'm in the camp that really disliked the ending. I think it derailed what was a really great, small, claustrophobic thriller and turned it into a big budget sci fi action movie. I wouldn't say the movie shit the bed with the ending, but it did pee it a little.
Man I loved the Ending Made the movie feel like a Episode of Twilight zone.
Please do: The Lazerous Project. Starring Paul Walker. it's a brilliant good bad flick!
+Jack Anderson I'll check it out
It's pretty obvious that a lot of people who saw this, went into it expecting a Cloverfield sequel.
So people coming out from this I expect to have ended up on two sides.
I personally didn't care for Cloverfield and the title for this didn' help it.
+ripoutyourprejudice I'm shocked that so many people who expected a Cloverfield sequel are not more upset with being so obviously deceived. I was not a big fan of Cloverfield (it did make for a great Rifftrax though), but I was interested in the screenplay The Cellar and I wanted to see it made into a feature, so to finally have it come out, but have them change the ending- the very thing that made the screenplay so rewarding... it's infuriating. And it's not even like they did it because it was really close to Cloverfield- the two films are completely different! What a waste of a good story.
Cyril Who knows maybe when the BluRay is out then maybe they'll make some changes.
Or maybe not.
ripoutyourprejudice did they even film the original ending? I don't know, Cecil mentioned the film stalled and they had to take on the Cloverfield name and association just to complete the film. Most films are shot out of sequence, so they could have filmed the ending early on. I really hope they do...
+Cyril Nope, they scripted the original ending but never shot it.
What's funny and sad is that the ties to Cloverfield don't actually fit with the original Cloverfield movie. The Cloverfield monster was pretty clearly an animal - everything about the incident says "animal encroaching on human territory". Then this comes along, and there's clearly an organized attack and mop-up, orchestrated by a technologically advanced force, and the beings involved have only the vaguest similarity to the Cloverfield creatures. The two don't fit together. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given that it's produced by Captain Lens-flare Mystery-box Abrams :(
Maybe the aliens were the ones who released the monster in the first movie..
Cecil, I had no problem with the ending as I believe it added more depth to the film. I'm sure some people will complain and will say that the producers 'cop out' because they wanted to make more money but if you look into the movie and listen to the subtle hints , you'll can see why the ending works.
+Lamont Smith If they stayed with just making 'The Cellar', the original ending would have fit. However, since they decided to change it to fit the Cloverfield universe, the ending they went with fits perfectly. I would've been deeply disappointed if they didn't do that. I feel these guys who complain about not keeping the original ending, aren't thinking in terms of Cloverfield. Cloverfield was about monsters as well as characters, it's supposed to be a Cloverfield sequel so I want to see monsters too damn it!
I didn't know ot wasn't supposed to be a Cloverfield sequel, but here's the thing....... I didn't see Cloverfield! So no, its success is based on it being a good film, in my opinion at least.
My only problem with this film is the name. Had they not named it 10 Cloverfield Lane, I would have not been expecting it to be linked to the actual movie Cloverfield. Thus, the ending would have taken me completely by surprise. As it was, I went in thinking that they were linked and kept expecting monsters and aliens. So, the ending was, in a way, spoiled for me.
Aside from that, I loved the movie. John Goodman MADE this movie. The rest of the cast was great and the suspense was off the charts in certain scenes.
The trailer did a fantastic job at keeping us in the dark from being able to figure out what this movie was about. More trailers should go this route. That said, had it not had Cloverfield in the title, I would have been in the dark from beginning to end. As it was, I was expecting creatures all throughout the film.
So you warn us about spoilers, and pretty much not give any spoilers?
***** That's true but I wonder how someone who took his advice to watch the movie before watching the second half to heart would react to that.
Most of the scripts that I've seen shoved into existing franchises were the later Hellrazer movies, and those were, well, not great. It's hard to say, maybe it would have done well with a good marketing campaign as a standalone, but I get the feeling that it would have taken time to get a real audience. It would have definitely made back its money but to the levels it has? Maybe not. As usual a great review, thanks Cecil.
Besides nearly certainly increasing the return on investment, the tweak to shove it into the clovervield-verse also helps it be somewhat less of a remake of an episode of 2012' "metal hurlant chronicles," "shelter me," with Michelle Ryan. Not mentioning that as something against 10CL, it's a well-executed and entertaining movie, even if it's sort of an almost remake. It's almost a "deep impact"and "armageddon" kind of thing, both cool and different enough, although that episode was not as different as those movies were. The writer of the original comic story may be somewhat pissed, though, even with the tweak distancing it more from the original.
John Goodman is one of those actors who should have an Oscar already. Been a fan of his since his run in Roseanne.
Or at least nominated.
Not as impressed as u Cecil it's a good movie that is propelled by goodman. Without goodman or the Cloverfield name this would be a decent thriller personally I wish they would have stayed with the original script.
THANK YOU!!!! Seriously, thank you for setting it straight. I feel like I'm wearing my fingertips thin writing in comment sections about how this isn't some super deep, "find the clues" Cloverfield sequel- it's just a film the tacked the name to. The screenplay was floating around Hollywood for years before it finally went into production and it had sweet fa to do with Cloverfield.
I was excited that the screenplay, The Cellar, was finally made and I have no doubt that the film is good, but I refuse to see it on principle. I'm so sick of JJ Abrams' "secret box" campaigns, because he constantly makes films look like they will be so much more surprising than they ever really are.
If you read a novel with multiple POVs, you'll often have a chapter near the beginning that seems completely unrelated to the story, but it's introducing this new POV character, giving background & characterization, and adding to the story even if it isn't obvious up front.
That's what _10 Cloverfield Lane_ was to me. The problem is that now I'm invested in this character, and we need the next chapter(s) that continue her story in the broader plot of the movie series.
Still, it was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it.
How come you’ve never done a review of Hell Comes To Frog Town or is it to obvious to do? I watched, out of boredom last night. BTW how long can you sit through Transilvania 6-5000? I managed ten minutes.
This film was made pretty well, in my opinion. By the way, sorry to hear about your infection. Hope you get better soon.
Although the original ending would have fit the tone of the rest of the movie a lot better, the ending they filmed is still satisfying in my opinion. Hopefully the success of this film will keep Hollywood funding interesting ideas like this.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead: the perfect woman for any movie
this was an interesting and yes well acted movie,i was just very disappointed that to me it didn't connect to cloverfield. i really hoped we would get a follow up to cloverfield,so we could have more info on that movie and what the origins of the monster was,guess we never will.
John Goodman made the entire film. It was Oscar material. Other than that there were a lot of elements that just ruined the experience for me. The girl's character felt inconsistent, with bouts of ingenuity alternating with complete stupidity - I had a lot of difficulty sympathizing with her. The other guy's character was almost superfluous. The forced ending felt forced and I knew right then that the movie was not meant to be a Cloverfield prequel at all. Hating Abrams I automatically assumed it was him pushing for the cross-over. However, you have to agree that it all played like a stretched Outer Limits episode. The resolution at the end wasn't even a twist and it didn't balance the overall length of the film. Be honest, with a mediocre actor playing Goodman's character, would you have liked the movie at all?
without following the ARG very closely, this film has a lot of holes. As much as I loved it because I was immersed in it's back story, I found it very unfortunate that it was a little hard to follow without it. Original Cloverfield was the same way to me. I think the connections, as dubious as they were (tagruato, slusho, ect), were much easier to understand only having followed the ARG.
SPOILER Warning: ok so here's my theory about the ending, I think the movie is either 8 years after cloverfield or the movie takes place during that event. See I'm betting on it takes place in the same world because what if the monster from cloverfield was dropped from the ship that the ground unit was dropped from, I mean think about we clearly know that the ship's aren't all the same size because of the way end when you see bigger ships in the distance. But I know for sure there's more that were missing in the movie like, what really happened to Howard's daughter, is this the same time period as the first cloverfield, what was the point of the attack, just stuff like that still bothers me.
Nobody went into this movie to see an awesome tense suspenseful mystery thriller. They saw it because marketed said it was connected to the first Cloverfield movie. Had this been called "The Cellar," no one would have cared, no one would have seen it, and it would have made maybe a fraction of what it currently grossed. What proof? Read the TH-cam comment sections for every 10 Cloverfield Lane video upload.
They trailer looks pretty cool.
Didn't like Cloverfield to mutch, the use of shaky hand cameras was to mutch for me. Like MTV videos on speed!
Can you do an exploring episode on the movie 'Black Sheep'? Quite a strange watch but had some big names helping out such as Peter Jackson :)
I wasn't interested in the characters fates and that made this a chore to sit through .
My hat is off to them for making a film on such a low budget and i'm always glad when small budget horror/sci films do good at the box office but for me nothing resonated on a dramatic or character level , i simply didn't care what happened to any of them , unlike the original where i was actually invested in the characters fates .
I didn't have a problem with the ending on a narrative level but it was way too derivative of another film from 2005 that i won't mention, it was just on a much smaller scale .
There are some leaps of logic that made the film silly near the end , it was like a Friday the 13th film , i was shaking my head and giggling .
It may be a stretch but i feel this film shares some Dna with a terrific little low budget sci fi film called The Signal from 2014, and i felt that movie was way more satisfying than this faux Cloverfield sequel .
Winstead is so hot though, she was great in The Thing also
Really enjoyed it. Excellent review. Saw it on opening day and wow. It blew me away. 10/10 Acting. It disturbed me on many levels and while the ending was unexpected, I still take it for what it is.
See I heard that the ending as is was written before the director even came on board. From one article, I read: About two or so years ago, Damien Chazelle rewrote the Cellar script, turning it into a Cloverfield movie. He got the chance to direct his passion project, Whiplash (sooooooo good), and left this movie.
Speaking of movies taking place in fallout shelters, have you ever seen a movie called the Divide? If not, you should check it out, it's really intense and brutal and you would probably like it a lot. Definitely one of the best and most intense and apocalypse movies I've seen.
Sometimes being absorbed by a franchise works. The one that sticks out to me the most was what sounded like a pretty descent action/suspense film called "Simon says" had the protagonist turned to John McLain added a little Sam Jackson at his best and bam. You have a die hard sequel that I have heard people call their favorite of the series.
4:57 What is the deal with the Mailbox in the poster? Is it the fact that something is inside the Mailbox or is it a tiny bunker?
I went into the theatre hoping for something better than Cloverfield (I never liked found footage films), and I came out feeling cheated out of a good horror story for franchise money. Then I went home, read the original ending, and told myself this will be the last time Jew Jew Abrams will ever get my money if he thought his ending was better.
it felt like a full length film version of blackbox tv episode. i guess its easy to say that when the director actually did an episode of blackbox tv but thats what i got from watching this film. this is a 5-7 minute story that you'd see on the channel begging toby to have them do a full length film version of.
The only other film with a shift like this that comes to mind is From Dusk Till Dawn. The shift happened much earlier in that that one though. What a movie, it's the best I've seen in theaters in a while. I've been recommending it to everyone.
The whole end was bizarre, jarring and totally out of style. Throwing a molotov down a giant alien monsters mouth was so bloody slapstick and silly. The mystery of Goodman and who he is/what he has done is way more interesting.
even though I was kinda disappointed that the monster was not the same as before,
I was very impressed by the was they actually made it SCARY!
the third movie in the cloverfield franchise is a terrible space movie that has a bad tacked on ending with a huge creature that is taller than the clouds.You see that right at the end .The rest of the film is a confusing mess that in no way relates to the first or second film.Thus ended the franchise
i hated cloverfield but i loved this movie so it was probably good that they tried to make it its own thing while still being connected
well this just makes me more mad about the ending. I wish they would have had more faith in the movie. I hate the ending and also Cloverfield. I was willing to just shrug it off due to the rest of the movie being awesome but now I'm just pissed. original ending so much better.
Only 27 million????? WTF........ this movie is amazing :)
the ending ruined the movie. pure trash.
before the ending, it was fantastic.
I wish I could watch the cellar to compare the movies. Same with godparticle
now you gotta do the newest one,.. which is JUST as amazing if not more so than both of the first 2.
I guess it's been a long time then. I thought the girl was the girlfriend from the first movie.... wow this has no reason to have that title. :\
They had me at Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Have you ever thought about doing a video on Cronenburg's "Shivers?" Excellent film
good call! I just recently was able to see that movie. I love Cronenberg
So the events of the first movie did happen. ? And this is just years later. ?
i enjoyed the film. the ending great. Really good payoff after that setup. i think it would have been better if MEW had of either died to the aliens or escaping the farm and running into the aliens over a ruined city then cutting to black.
Ugh I can't find a synopses of the original ending on like :(
(Spoilers)
It was Michelle leaving and Howard survived. She would drive down the road and see and hear no one. She gets to a hill that shows Chicago. It is in fiery ruins with no explanation. She then puts on the mask, takes a breath and end.
If they filmed this as an alternate ending, it would be very interesting.
This is an actually good movie. Nothing bad about it.
Do Wishmaster and Demonic Toys please.
This movie was very surprisingly awesome.
This movie was a little unsettling but good nonetheless
All i know is that i sit here all smug because I knew (hunch) from the outset that the monster was not the Cloverfield monster. The roaring in the trailer was clearly human, and I got into a shameful number of arguments with fanboys that youtube in mama's basement over what the monster was. Tons of starry-eyed cloverfans were all squee over seeing Clover again, and it was so obvious that Goodman was the one that was being teased as the monster.
But. Good movie. True story.
I liked 10 Clover but I wouldn't say its great... I'm still trying to figure out why. I may need to see it again.
My favorite movie of last year. Saw it before ever seeing the original and now, 10 Cloverfield Lane is one of my favorite movies ever. Period.
I really loved this movie. One of my favorite aspects was the visual story telling especially in the opening montage.
So even though JJ did some Studio in-brawling to get his hands on this one, it actually helped the movie get better name recognition in the long run
You should do exploring keepers creepers
John Goodman Oscar
Love this channel.
The Big Undergroundski
I'm still holding out for a '10 Demolition Man Avenue' film.
I'd love to see a film where the female lead is a creepy psycho who is trying to chain an old man to a bed and re-live her father/daughter dynamic through force. But that would take some balls to make. I found too many things in this movie to be too convenient for it's own good. Why would this guy design a bunker where he couldn't reach the air reset switch? Makes no sense. Anyway, it reminded me a lot of The Divide from 2011. It could have been a lot better.. if they left it open ended toward the end and taken out the stupid aliens it would have been great, but as it is it's just another shitty zombie movie or something.
+RedShoulderReviews Knock Knock was kind of that.
That was a pretty terrible film. With Keanu's hilarious acting being the worst part. I found it more annoying that scary or intense.
So I know the video is old, but still :D
When my friends and I went to see this movie, we had no idea what Cloverfield is. I know that’s an outlier situation, but point is we went in blind.
Never have we been so worried for the main character in a movie. The movie kept us constantly on edge and hoping she will be okay. The Cloverfield addition in the end didn’t feel out of place. It was more of “if the worst can happen, it will”, and it did. The final scene was amazing, and we were absolutely rooting for the character.
So I can’t see why it would be a bad flick, but I really enjoyed this analysis video!
After seeing this movie about a week ago I can agree that it was a really well made movie, even with the sudden shift to make it more appealing by slapping the Cloverfield name onto it. The original ending would have lead to a bit more information about John Goodman's character that the final cut didn't have, but it doesn't necessarily change the outcome of the movie. Cloverfield is most likely the reason this movie was so successful, despite it being loosely tied to the first movie; it wouldn't have done as well as The Cellar because sequels will usually sell more. The director seems to really like the idea of this being an origin story for Michele's character with more movies possibly on the way.
John Goodman, def have to see this.
Just got back from this Movie and I loved it. The ending for me was great contrast and it made me think of all the things they talked about before. You have to pay attention on this one.
Also Michelle is one of the best female characters I've seen. She is smart and resourceful. She fights back and wins against Howard and the ending thing(spoiler free).
Emmett is the bad guy!!!
i like more your 15 or 20 minutes review, but good job anyway!
so now that I know that is not a clover field sequel I'll just wait till it hits the ppv.. thanks bro. once again saved me a buck.
I will Netflix it when it comes out. At, the moment I can't see it.It sounds good.
I tried watching Cloverfield a couple of times and couldn't get past the camera shake it was just too much
You are awesome
I was kinda hoping they'd make it into a sort of anthology series instead of a shared universe, since the tagline is "monsters come in many forms"
I think that's exactly what it is. It just carries the name. But totally different universe. As well as he said the movie was originally titled the cellar
+R.J. Beasley J.J. Abrams has confirmed there will be a Cloverfield Universe.
dude 10 cloverfield lane comes in april 1st in México :(
All hearsay but I heard that this film inspired them to turn the series into an anthology movie series.
I really hope that's true.
you should do exploring zombie
+mrmarcowar 237 planning on it
yeah agree loved the twist ending to it.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is SO freaking beautiful looking! Omg those EYES and THIGHS had me MESMERIZED!
You sound sick. Get well soon! Greets
+VA LIS Thanks! Yeah, I'm on the tail end of this thing. It should be out of me soon but unfortunately, I have videos I still have to record.
+GoodBadFlicks Dayquil Severe can kick its ass
Are you gesturing a lot when you are doing these videos?
Also, why the **** can't I find a screener of this yet? Do I really need to wait for Blu-Ray release!
This movie would have been a 10/10 if it weren't for the ending and I vastly would have preferred the original.
It's not that I had a problem with aliens showing up, that's fine. I was halfway expecting that monsters actually were killing off people, like maybe not all of the parasites from the Cloverfield monster were exterminated and they were causing a plague or something. What I didn't like was the sudden shift into fast-paced action and explosions. Plus the alien designs were just terrible, they looked like they were ripped straight out of Transformers.
Spoiler free = lazy review.
I'd go the opposite. Its harder to talk about a movie and NOT ruin it for the potential audience
Funny at times, but this was a BADbad movie
