    After accusations against Landis came out he refused to allow his name to be removed from Shadow in the Cloud, despite the fact the director has said she basically rewrote the thing. I'm convinced that's why the movie didn't make more of a splash, which sucks because Roseanne Liang deserves better.

    SHADOW IN THE CLOUD (2020) Dir. Roseanne Liang Part throwback creature feature, part modern riff, this film is messy but enjoyable. It does not always shine, but when it hits it's a blast. Chloe Grace Moretz understands the assignment and commits, proving that attitude can carry a film a long way.🎞️📽️

    Shadow in the Cloud There are some serious themes behind it, but this WW2 set, 80s styled monster movie generally embraces its silliness with tongue firmly in cheek. Chloe Moretz gets to show a solid nervy performance as she's trapped in the first half, then play action hero. Fun, and underseen.

    Oh I so get that! Have you seen Roseanne Liang's "Shadow in the Cloud"? One thing I appreciated about it was that the movie was set on a plane and the only times you saw the full plane from the outside was at the very start and at the very end. Which is how people normally experience planes.

    Shadow In The Cloud (2020) is a very interesting movie that I don't know how I feel about fully. It's like an old Weird Tales type story set aboard a WW2 cargo(?) plane. Clearly inspired by a certain infamous Twilight Zone episode. But it gets a little goofy at times and I don't think it fully...

    There's something on the wing! As a long-standing fan of the Twilight Zone, it is always refreshing to see a movie-take on one of classic stories. We have of course had The Truman show, The Box and the Sound of Thunder, but this one takes on Nightmare at 20,000 Feet from 1963, which has had its own remakes in the different series, starring different people, but to expand the narrative and make it into a movie is fun. To then lock the main protagonist in a box for an hour and only have the other…

    Most of the movie takes place inside a single, constrained location, which works in this movie's favor. For those keeping score, in the last few years this list of WWII horror movies for me has included Overlord, Shadow in the Cloud, Blood Vessel, and now this.

    I had quite high hopes for this - I liked the premiss. A WWII bomber flight has "Maude" (Chloë Grace Moretz) secreted in the lower gun turret. She has a secret cargo - but what could it be...? As they travel, some of the rather asinine crew become suspicious of her, her package and when they begin to see things; when things start to go a bit awry with the plane - then the crew must brace themselves for quite a surprise! Sadly, though - the execution of this isn't up to much. The acting is poor,…

    Great watch, would watch again, and do recommend. Sometimes it is a really great thing to go into a movie with extremely low expectations, and I certainly went into this thinking it's going to be boring. That's its a WW2 courier movie, but it really is so much more. It honestly feels like this is a collection of stories that are all stitched together in a fantastic way. It's modular storytelling, and while it's a trend I've been noticing in the beginning of the 2020's this goes above and…
