There is something about dramatic science fiction films that gives me chills the first time I see them I had the same experience when I watched “10 Cloverfield Lane” some years ago I was expecting a run-of-the-mill sci-fi thriller, but what I got instead was a tense, claustrophobic masterpiece that actually made me sweat a little
