10 Horror Movies With The Worst Monster Reveal

10. The Alien - 10 Cloverfield Lane

Many moviegoers went into 10 Cloverfield Lane, assuming it would explain details revolving around the monster that appeared in the first film.

Instead, this sequel focused on a young woman, Michelle, trapped in a bunker with a deranged man, who claims the surface world had been infected by a bio-agent. Although viewers were disappointed and confused by this change of direction, 10 Cloverfield Lane gets away with it (for the most part) due to its compelling story, tight script, and phenomenal performances.

However, the film throws a curveball during the climax. In the final scene, Michelle escapes from the bunker just before it blows up. However, the explosion catches the attention of a nearby flying saucer. The ship veers in Michelle's direction before dropping an extra-terrestrial right in front of her.

Although there's nothing particularly terrible about this alien's design, it's completely forgettable. You may have enjoyed 10 Cloverfield Lane, but you probably couldn't remember what this creature looked like to save your life.

What's makes this big reveal all the more infuriating is how unnecessary it is! Why is there an alien all of a sudden? Even though the extra-terrestrial's inclusion is sloppily handed, you could forgive the movie if it looked cool. Instead, this quadrupedal critter looks utterly generic.
