6 Reasons 10 Cloverfield Lane Is Actually Better Than the Original Film

In the original film, there was no doubt that a monster was destroying NYC. In 10 Cloverfield Lane, the danger is a little less clear and present and a little more subtle. Here's the thing: we all assumed this film would be a Cloverfield sequel, but only because of the title. The original trailer didn't really give any indication of how the two connect. Even though there are bits of evidence to support Howard's claims, it's hard to believe him. He's so unhinged and unstable, it seems almost impossible that he's right. On some level, I suspected that maybe Michelle would get outside and everything would be fine.
