In the throes of World War II, on a rainy morning in Auckland, a group of Allied soldiers prepare to take to the air in a B-17 Flying Fortress. The all-male crew is caught off guard by Captain Maude Garrett boarding their plane carrying a top-secret package. The presence of a woman on a military flight is unusual enough to arouse their suspicion. Just as Maude's quick wit and military knowledge is winning over the leery crew, strange happenings and holes in her backstory lead to paranoia surrounding her true mission. But this crew isn't alone in the sky... lurking in the shadows, something with sharp teeth and a taste for chaos is tearing at the heart of the vessel. Crushed between an oncoming Japanese ambush and an evil lurking within, Maude must push her limits to save the hapless crew and to protect her mysterious cargo. In SHADOW IN THE CLOUD, there's more to fear than the enemy.

There are a lot of layers to this movie, some could have been more developed like the love story but overall I appreciated the complexity of tying in the horror aspect and the WW II storylines. Much appreciated movie when there isn't a lot of good watching out there right now. Oh and I really loved the soundtrack throughout the film, it added a lot and the sounds were very unexpected but totally appropriate. Great job on that end.

So absurdly over the top pro feminist and anti male I actually laughed out loud a few times. Most of the male characters are ridiculously rude and misogynistic to the point it's comical, they are of course also useless and in the last scene they all stand there and do nothing whilst Chloe's character fights a demon/gremlin with her bare hands and then breast feeds a baby straight afterwards because women can do anything and anyone who doesn't think that is an awful person.

The majority of it made some sense and it was kind of cool. I love movies with a powerful woman as the lead, so I was excited to see it. However, it was... odd... I'm not sure what the purpose of it was. The weird creature never got an explanation, it just existed and then gone. The movie also ended abruptly with a LOT of unanswered questions.
