LOL how did I get no-signed for saying John Goodman is an underrated actor.
Really liked the movie just didn't like the tie in to cloverfield at the end.
The movie ends with something out of the farmhouse scene in Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, with Michelle escaping from Howard and getting outside of the shelter, only to find that aliens have invaded and are hunting people. She must outwit a worm-like attack dog and then do exactly what Tom Cruise did in War of the Worlds, introducing an explosive device into a biological looking orifice on an alien craft to escape from its massive tentacles. Then, after all of this, she embarks to Houston to kick some alien ass, in a “the battle is over, let’s fight the war” kind of ending cribbed from Battle: Los Angeles. In the last shot, flashes of lightning reveal alien ships in the distance, indicating the film-long struggle we just witnessed is comparatively minuscule.
In the original script, Michelle escapes the shelter and is chased through the farmhouse by Howard, who still wants to “protect” her. She blinds him with bathroom cleaner, he tells her about his tragic life (dead wife, missing daughter, treacherous Nate, etc.), and then she shoots him in the kneecap and runs away. He ends the movie alive, entreating Michelle to “be careful.” Later, after traveling down empty roads and finding no one around to help her, she crests a hill and sees the Chicago skyline, smoldering and destroyed. No explanation is given. We don’t even know what she will do next, only that she now knows that Howard, for all his oddity, was correct. The final line in the script is, “She slowly pulls down the mask on the hazmat suit before taking a breath.”

Damn shame we are learning what he is truly capable of so close to the end of his life.
What? You acting like Barton Fink and The Big Lebowski don't exist or something. We've been seen what he's capable of decades ago. John Goodman's a legend.

Just saw it. I think the most unexpected part was
when he shot your boy. I didn't see that coming. The shit hit the fan after that though, so it was a good catalyst. I didn't like that all of a sudden she's this badass. Also, it was pretty convenient that she was a clothing designer who needed a hazmat suit to escape.

Its A Glorified Prologue To Cloverfield 2 Decent But Nothing Great

I enjoyed this up until the last 15 mins where the corporate influence inevitibly kicks in, before that it was a really good tense thriller.
John goodman beasted his role, and the winstead chick would get them long strokes too.

Nah, I consider myself a movie/TV nerd but that's always one that's slipped through the cracks for some reason.

I think I would've preferred this. Goodman was awesome man.

I would've liked it better that way too I think.
Kinda crazy how nobody was actually "right" about Howard. He wasn't just one or the other, he was a pervert/murderer and was right and ahead of the game to have a stormshelter/safehouse
