Howard’s Fallout Shelter – 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)
The sequel to 2008’s blockbuster kaiju film Cloverfield saw the franchise take a hard left into psychological thriller territory. 10 Cloverfield Lane tells the story of a young woman named Michelle, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who wakes up after a car crash in the doomsday shelter of John Goodman’s Howard Stambler, along with John Gallagher Jr.’s Emmett. From there, Michelle has to decide which is worse: Howard’s unhinged behavior while mourning the loss of his daughter, or the potential apocalyptic threat that may or may not be awaiting her outside.
