- TriviaBradley Cooper: Provided the voice of Michelle's fiancé, Ben, on her cellphone. J.J. Abrams reached out to Cooper, who he first met on Alias (2001), to record the brief phone call. Cooper recorded the audio on his phone, sent the file to Abrams, and the entire process was completed without the pair speaking to each other about it at all outside of text messages.
- GoofsWhen Michelle goes in the venting system to reset the air filtration unit, no one seems to think it might be important to clear whatever was preventing them from accessing it in the first place. And it would have been easier for Michelle to later use it to escape.

Featured review
What are people throwing shade on this movie?
Pluses: 1. Great cast. Really good chemistry among them. Terrific performances from all. Mary Elizabeth Winstead gets better with every film she makes. 2. Story keeps you guessing until the end. 3. There are references in it to some popular films in the genre (that are likely film maker favorites) from the past 30 years or so. 4. Director shows great promise while still early in his career. 4. Story more important than special effects or pointless action sequences (always a plus for me). 5. Sound effects, usually unappreciated in non-action films, well used to add to the intensity of the drama.
Minuses: 1. We've probably all seen John Goodman play a similar character before. 2. There's a possible murder that took place prior to the film, a plot device never resolved.
Since the film has the word "Cloverfield" in the title, a lot of dim light bulbs thought this was a prequel or sequel to the other film and bad mouthed it because it isn't. Using Cloverfield in the title was likely just another reference to a favorite film.
Some people didn't understand the ending. Huh? They must have fallen asleep during the rest of the movie (when they realized it wasn't Cloverfield 2) or this generation is dumber than I fear it might be. The actions of Winstead's character at the end of the film make perfect sense in light of a monologue she delivered earlier, which apparently was ignored by those whining about the ending.
Don't listen to the naysayers. It isn't high art, but it's an entertaining film that will hold your attention to the end.
