There was some secrecy around this film even before its official title was unveiled, just because J.J. Abrahams was secretly working on it. So, 10 Cloverfield Lane is Cloverfield’s spiritual successor and it is presented in a third-person narrative, as opposed to its predecessor. The film follows Michelle (Winstead) as she wakes up after an accident and finds out she’s locked in a cellar by a patriotic man (Goodman), who claims that he saved her life and the surface of the Earth uninhabitable following an apocalyptic catastrophe. The film is super engaging and exhilarating to a point where we don’t have a clue what will happen next and Winstead is definitely the film’s badass heroine.
