10 Cloverfield Lane has been on my list of films to see for some time now, but I had not gotten the chance due to something else always getting in the way.  I was also concerned about whether I would be ill informed, not having seen the original. I can confidently say that viewership of the original Cloverfield is not necessary. I was expecting another found footage type spectacle (akin to the original film), but instead I got a tense, atmospheric, and deeply engaging thriller that’s as disturbing as it is entertaining.
