¡QUÉ HORROR! 2016
Candidate #9
10 CLOVERFIELD LANE
(March 2016)

So in mid-January, Bad Robot stealthbombed
us with the trailer for a heretofore unannounced “spiritual successor” to ¡Qué horror! 2008 title, Cloverfield, Dan Trachtenberg’s 10
Cloverfield Lane (which began life as The
Cellar, and was developed and produced under the code name Valencia).
The
initial trailer--brilliantly orchestrated to Tommy James & The Shondells’ “I
Think We’re Alone Now”--certainly revved up my geek engine, and I was in
constant fear of getting spoiled by the Internets before I had a chance to see the
film.
Luckily,
I was not, and here we are, with a ¡Qué horror!
slot staked out in its own name.
I
will, of course, not tell you anything that you can’t pick up from the trailer,
other than this…
Though
Trachtenberg has confirmed that “… [Cloverfield
and 10 Cloverfield Lane] are not in
the same timeline,” look who’s the Bold Futura Employee of the Month for February 2016…
John
Goodman’s Howard Stambler…
Hrrmmm…
Maybe
this is an alternate reality from the original Cloverfield, and an alternate reality Tagruato Corporation…?
Whatever
the case, in this reality, 10 Cloverfield Lane is a solid candidate
for some ¡Qué horror! love…
