10 years later, the original writers of 10 Cloverfield Lane look back: ‘A lot of stuff changed’

Until that death, the first two-thirds of 10 Cloverfield Lane are a tense thriller where Michelle (and the viewer) tries like hell to figure out whether Goodman is lying or telling the truth. This is only further complicated by how strange and temperamental Howard acts towards Michelle, who he creepily treats as a surrogate daughter. Then again, the film’s title provides an unsubtle clue as to what may be happening above ground.
