Story summary
The story begins with a car accident.
The heroine, Michelle , who just ran away after arguing with her boyfriend, is driving the car while listening to her boyfriend's phone.
Suddenly a van hit her from behind, and Michelle drove down the hill uncontrollably...
When she woke up, she found that she was locked in a secret room, and what was even more frightening was that she had an extra pair of chains on her hands.
Her first reaction was to call the police quickly, but the mobile phone that took a long time to get could not receive a signal here.
Just then, a fat uncle walked in.
It turned out that this fat uncle saved Michelle in the car accident, not only changed her medicine, but also made her food.
Michelle begged the uncle to let him go, but the uncle did not agree.
The uncle told her that no one will come to you now, then he dropped a key, closed the iron door and left.
Michelle thought that this must be a pervert, so she took up her weapon and prepared to kill the uncle and run away.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed, and the guarded uncle directly subdued her.
When Michelle woke up again, the uncle told her a reason that sounded nonsense:
War broke out in the outside world, everyone died, and she was very lucky to be here.
Michelle walked out of the secret room, and she found that it was a well-built bunker, not only hoarding food, but also decorating a decent living room.
There was another young man living in this bunker.
He is a craftsman, he built this bunker, and he also said that it is really dangerous outside.
But Michelle still didn't believe in the danger outside, so the uncle took her to the door to see the outside world.
Through the glass, Michelle saw that the pigs raised had been contaminated and were rotting.
In desperation, Michelle could only temporarily accept the reality and live in the bunker.
However, the feeling of being under the fence is not good. The fat uncle is a person with a strong desire to control, and he vaguely feels that he has bad thoughts about Michelle.
The most important thing is that Michelle insists that everything is a lie of this uncle.
So she stole the door key and decided to go out and see for herself.
However, when she ran to the gate, something unexpected happened.
There was really a woman with festering skin outside the door, asking her for help, begging her to open the door.
Until then, Michelle finally understood the situation outside.
She obeyed her uncle's advice and did not open the door, and then continued to live in the bunker.
During this period, she also changed her views on the uncle, and the three lived happily for a while.
But this period of reassurance did not last long. In an accident, Michelle found a big "HELP" written on the glass skylight.
What's more terrifying is that the help symbol was carved from the inside of the skylight, and the writing was bloodstained.
It turned out that all this was really all a scam fabricated by the uncle, so Michelle joined another "kidnapped" man to try to fight the perverted uncle together.
But the reversal is not over here, and things that they all unexpected are still happening...
Is the uncle a good guy or a pervert? Is it the end of the world out there?
There are no spoilers here, Kuaisoujun, and there are at least two reversals, which are left for everyone to see for themselves.
The film "10 Cloverfield Lane" was adapted from the script "The Basement". The whole film has only 4 actors, and 95% of the plot takes place in the basement, so the ability of the actors is very high.
John Goodman, who plays the fat uncle , fully shows the neurotic side in the film.
Sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, the little things can drive him crazy.
And the heroine Mary Elizabeth Winstead herself is full of charm, and her big eyes are very colorful.
Although it looks a little delicate, but the brain and skills are very flexible.
It is worth mentioning that the ending of this film is like a magic -
Some people enjoy the feeling of being cheated, and some people find it pointless.
In fact, escaping is not the most difficult, the difficult thing is to face the fear of the unknown, whether to choose to live in the underground and live quietly, or to go out and face the reality with desperate determination, this is the big proposition!
