Bugonia **1/2

 

REVIEW:

Here’s the thing. This movie is definitely another, much worse version of 10 Cloverfield Lane, It’s as if it takes the skeleton of that movie, and then strips it down to the basics of just three characters (technically that one was about only three characters too,) in a house. Whereas that movie was in a cool bunker underground, this one is simply in a house. In other words, the setting is not so important to the story, ask it was there. But that hardly means anything in a movie that is about character, like this one..

The story is about these two crazy characters who kidnap and capture a high level CEO, who they are convinced is an alien. That premise itself is pretty original. It’s the holding people prisoner because you think there is wild end of the world stuff happening outside that is right out of 10 Clloverfield Lane.

The prisoner -kidnapping stuff is fine. It mostly deal with conversations between Teddy
