REVIEW: 

At the point when Cloverfield touched base on the extra large screen in 2008, nothing was thought about the J J Abrams-delivered beast film. 

No curve balls there: from the web fuelled tricks encompassing TV demonstrate Lost to the express lockdown on spoilers for Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, Abrams delights in conjuring up secret and interest. 

Indeed, even by all accounts, be that as it may, new film 10 Cloverfield Lane was made under a cover of ­military-review mystery. Indeed, even the cast didn't comprehend what they were taping – it was given a distraction title – until shooting was under way. Its exceptionally presence was just uncovered two months before discharge. 

Relinquishing the discovered film style of the past film, this is a by and large extraordinary prospect – more a turn off than direct continuation. 

A chamber dramatization, an elusive ­psycho-thriller, it plays on fears that numerous Americans appear to have about being attacked or ­attacked. 

Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as Michelle, a young lady who, after a short sweetheart escaping introduction, awakens from a fender bender to get herself tied up in a cell in an underground dugout. Her dreadful captor, Howard (John Goodman), has watched out for her injuries – yet discloses to her she can't clear out. 

In the hands of a chief, for example, Eli Roth, such a situation would have slid into a horrible torment/exact retribution flick. Be that as it may, this film, co-composed by Whiplash's Damien Chazelle, plays reckless with class desires. 

At the point when Howard clarifies that there has been some sort of assault that has left the air tainted, and that he saved Michelle, she normally declines to trust him. Be that as it may, a kindred dugout tenant, amiable neighbor Emmett (John Gallagher Jr), appears to authenticate Howard's story. 

To state significantly more would give away the film's various turns, yet make a big appearance executive Dan Trachtenberg remains in charge in these colossally claustrophobic ­bunker-set scenes that frame the heft of the film. 

Specific credit goes to Goodman, who hasn't been this startling since Barton Fink. However there are snapshots of cleverness, as well, easing the strain and far expelling it from the inauspicious agnosticism of other post-whole-world destroying survival stories, for example, John Hillcoat's The Road or Xavier Gens' The Divide. 

Now, you might be meandering what on Earth this needs to do with Cloverfield, something a CGI-substantial act answers. Kind of. 

In truth, that finale doesn't exactly satisfy the prior barometrical scenes, however Winstead is ordering as a champion in the vein of Alien's Ripley, conveying an execution that ought to at last place her in the general population ­consciousness. 

Flipping amongst awfulness and science fiction easily, this is a film loaded with winded, heart-halting minutes, regardless of the possibility that the "Clover-verse" confining gadget never entirely persuades.

Burnt Offerings

1976

The house seems to absorb the vitality of its inhabitants, and the mystery that surrounds it becomes increasingly disturbing.

My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To

2020

Unlike typical vampire films, My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To focuses more on family drama than conventional fear. The tone is melancholic, with a slow and suffocating narration that immerses the viewer in the anguish of the protagonists. The most disturbing aspect is not the violence itself, but the emotional toll that sacrifice and morality impose on the brothers. Jonathan Cuartas builds a claustrophobic and desolate world, emphasizing the loneliness of the characters through dark photography and a clever use of silence. The setting - an anonymous and...

The Hunger

1983

Based on the novel of the same name by Whitley Strieber, the film is a sensual and decadent reinterpretation of the vampire myth, characterized by a refined aesthetic and a disturbing atmosphere. The film is a hypnotic visual experience, with an aesthetic style that mixes gothic with 80s glamour. The use of soft lighting, luxurious settings and an evocative soundtrack (including Bela Lugosi’s Dead by Bauhaus) help to create a sense of alienation and mystery. Tony Scott, in his directorial debut, favours the visual and atmospheric side over traditional storytelling,... Read More
