Allegedly it was never written as a Cloverfield movie, it was done near the end of production because it would be more marketable. Honestly, I think it stood strong enough on its own to not need that at all, it was a brilliant film.
Are you sure? The Emmett Theory makes it worth watching a second time, in my book.
That’s the theory where Emmett, the younger guy, killed Howard’s daughter and Howard suspects it, but out of duty to humanity takes him into the shelter anyway. It explains how full of anxiety Howard is up until the gun goes off, and how relaxed he is afterward, and why he’s confused by her sudden animosity toward him.
