10 Cloverfield Lane

After surviving a car accident, Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) wakes up to find herself in an underground bunker with two men. Howard (John Goodman) tells her that a massive chemical attack has rendered the air unbreathable, and their only hope of survival is to remain inside. Despite the comforts of home, Howard’s controlling and menacing nature makes Michelle want to escape. After taking matters into her own hands, the young woman finally discovers the truth about the outside world.

A young woman wakes up in a basement. It is owned by a man who claims he saved her life after pulling her from her overturned car which violently crashed along the highway. The man states that the world above them is no longer safe and is now a danger zone that threatens the rest of humanity. With no knowledge of what actually lies above and trust running thin between them, the woman questions what’s true and what’s not. Is the man a delusional psychotic that has a more sinister agenda for her? Or is it really hell on earth above ground like he swears?

Terror can come from anywhere. Sometimes it’s a giant kaiju tearing ass across a major city; however, other times the terror can come from much smaller, more intimate places. In a deranged twist, the human monsters often scare us even more than those from another world, and that’s the type of monster J.J. Abrams’Cloverfield franchise aims to tackle next. The latest trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lanepremiered last night during The Walking Dead, and promises a different sort of experience compared to what audiences have come to expect from the franchise.
