What is Shadow in The Cloud about?
World War II in Asia: Flight officer Maude Garrett (Chloe Grace Moretz) sneaks aboard a B-17 bomber at the last second. The all-male crew is not very enthusiastic and locks the young woman in the gun cockpit for the entire flight.
But Garrett’s extraordinary skills impress the team, and they will need her. Because the plane is not only attacked by Japanese pilots, but also by one mysterious rat-like creature.
Lots of praise but little attention for Shadow in the Cloud
The creature is a “gremlin” – actually a metaphor that soldiers used in aviation and especially in World War II to describe technical problems caused by carelessness. Shadow in The Cloud transforms war slang into a literal fantasy monster.

Barely a minute of the film is “realistic,” but that hardly matters since Liang commits so much to the over-the-top attitude that most of the time you’ll be clinging to the armrest and grinning with delight.
