I think the monster design for Clover was so cool. And how you didn't see it in full daylight right until the very end. It's so frustrating seeing how good these films could be, but it's being squandered by horrific mismanagement.

I thought UnderWater monster was an elder terror, most likely Cthulhu.

The way I always considered Super 8 a secret sequel to Cloverfield as a kid. Glad I wasn't alone in feeling the similarity at least. Another possible film i think kinda fits is Colossal (2016)

Arrival is another movie I think that could be part of the Cloverfield Universe

In my opinion, they dropped the ball as soon as they turned Cloverfield into an anthology. People only cared about the giant monster. People wanted a sequel that was about the giant monster. When the 10 Cloverfield Lane trailer came out, a good chunk of the hype was speculation about how it related to the monster. JJ Abrams himself said that with Cloverfield he wanted to make America’s equivalent to Godzilla so it’s odd that they never made a follow up about the monster, or at least merchandised the crap out of it. That friggin action figure goes for half a grand these days.

it also helps that max landis says that the kids in chronicle got their powers from ancient elemental beings that use telekinesis

I think that I Am Legend with Will Smith could be a Cloverfield movie. It even had a lot of promotion similar to how Cloverfield did. What makes me love this as a Cloverfield movie is that unlike the others on the list this one is post the disaster, when the human race is in shambles, and the infected quite literally see the humans as monsters and don’t know that they are infected, seeing themselves as humans.

The official Cloverfield trilogy isn't even held together but duct tape and string. It's held together by bubble gum and toothpicks. Honestly all 3 of them could have (and probably should have) been their own films.

Annihilation isn't in the Cloverfield universe, it's too busy being a spiritual successor to Tarkovsky's Stalker. The leader of the previous team (with the writhing guts) even has an uncanny resemblance to the main character from Stalker.

I think "The Happening" could fit into the universe in some ways. Doesn't have a "monster" per se but definitely has that mystery/horror aspect

Yes here for the Coherence coverage and head-cannon addition to the CCU. That film holds up rewatch after rewatch and, imo, I think Color Out of Space starring Nick Cage would work with Cloverfield paradox, Annihilation, and Coherence.

I don’t think Chronicle needs a sequel. The first movie was good enough and had a good message about how bullying affects people into becoming evil, and gave the answer to what would happen if the quiet kid got superpowers.

Super 8 and Chronicle should definitely be apart of the universe. So glad you mentioned these two. I had commented before watching just to see if you or others thought the same.

Two movies that immediately come to my mind are “Moon” (2009) and it’s spinoff “Mute” (2018). Both directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie’s son), these movies are very introspective looks at main-characters who have become loners in an oppressive future. edit: Also, “Mute” is a Netflix film.

You're right. High School Musical clearly takes place in an alternate dimension with singing aliens who happen to resemble humans, Paddington features an evolved bear from a parallel universe, and Suicide Squad is already about ancient monsters attacking earth, meaning that all three of them could definitely work in the Cloverfield universe.

I just want a proper Cloverfield movie that wraps everything up in a cohesive manner.

Good video, and lots of good recommendations for movies that fit the Cloverfield feel. I know they moved away from the anthology series but I still keep all my clover style movies together as my own curated anthology. I keep the V/H/S movies here as well, because several of the stories in that series could easily be expanded into a full on Clover movie. As for the King connection, I know things like the Mist would make more sense, but honestly I'd love to see a King/Cloverfeild crossover where Christine the evil living car, or Carry White are going up against a clover threat.

i love super 8 so much its such a good movie and it definitely fits in with the cloverfield universe

Great choice on the background tracks. Im a big fan of BO1 too.

I'm really glad that you are making videos about the cloverfield franchise Hoping to see more of them in the future

chronicle and cloverfield are literally my top 2 movies, if they were connected that would be insane

Would love a breakdown video of the ARG’s! Just found your channel man, top notch stuff!

Amazing breakdown of each film and how they could have tied in! Writing your own very sequel to Cloverfield would be a great video! I hope to see more Cloverfield content! ❤😃

The tomorrow war 2021 might be in cloverfield universe Monster in this movie is also similar to cloverfield monsters And its production company is paramound pictuers

I always liked to think that captive state was a sequel to 10 Cloverfield lane after they sorta make a deal with the aliens since the one actor is in both

If you haven't already, I totally recommend the 2006 Korean movie The Host. Although it may not be connected whatsoever to Cloverfield, the film thematically and visually matches the original Cloverfield movie, with amazing mystery and tension as well as a creative monster design that fits into this weird Cloverfield subgenre. An extremely underrated film I cannot recommend it enough

Coherence made my brain hurt. lol Had to watch it twice and I had to watch a few movie explained videos to get it. 🤣

Man, I love Coherence. Another similar film that could be connected is Donnie Darko. With the way tangent universes are explained in that movie the Cloverfield movies could be part of a Darko-verse.

War of the worlds is very good and have a vibe similar to Cloverfield

always loved the cloverfield universe Keep making more!!

I think the idea of you making a hypothetical Cloverfield sequel is a great one, you should do it

The problem with The Mist is that the explanation for the creatures origin being explained in the movie. Those aliens started appearing thanks to a secret US government project named "Arrowhead Project", which brought interdimensional creatures to the earth we see in the movie.

You should make a second part and add movies like Right at the door, The 5th Wave, Skyline, Pandorum, Colossal, The earth stood still, or a show called El Refugio. there is many more but I feel they do not fit at all but could!!!

Im going to recomend a movie that I personaly think fit perfectly in that universe. The pace it's slower for sure, but it gives a similar vibe, having arround the end that unmisstakenbly references to cloverfield universe. Monstruos (2010) a small independet movie from an english director on his bigscreen debut, in my opinion a hiden gem not many people know.

I always wanted to see a Cloverfield sequel that was a compilation in chronological order of all the footage gathered the night of the first film. It would be so cool to see all those events from different perspectives, in a similar way that the 2012 film "The Bay" or even the nonfiction documentary "LA92" was formatted, as though a whistleblower who lived through the events wanted to tell the whole story.

This was really a fantastic analogy, sharing many elements. Exceptional analysis.

Annihilation and Coherence are some of my favorite films ever. I loved midnight special too. You should check out The Endless, it was a wild ride.

Had a random watch party for coherence with an internet buddy. Had no idea what it was when we started, which was for the best. Loved it

Based on the final shot of the film & some of the themes sprinkled throughout; 'The Invitation' from Karyn Kusama would also be another great addition to the Cloverfield cannon in a category I would call 'The Twilight Zone-esq Thrillers' (instead of 'Flat out Weird'). Heck, one could add the recent 'Knock At the Cabin' to the list as well.

Chronicle is literally my favourite movie depending on my mindset on the day you ask, it’s such a me ass movie, combining the superhero and found footage genre’s and having a generally dark tone; I highly recommend it! I think it’s so frustrating that Overlord was removed from the Cloververse since as well as making it more memorable despite how great it is, the creators could’ve also explained the connection by having the substance used by the Nazi’s be a form of the seabed nectar from the Cloverfield universe that Clover ate or something similar explaining why it became so powerful. Lastly, Bird Box is such a strange anomaly in the cultural zeitgeist; it came out, everyone was watching it and talking about it and then everyone forgot it even existed over time (including me until it was mentioned here) and it left as quickly as it arrived.

This made me go watch chronicle because I had a vague memory of it and holy shit man

Wasn't clovey disturbed due to slusho doing experiments in the ocean and so he's not technically a alien

i completely forgot coherence existed! Great movie.

Yes, I love these Cloverfield videos!!!

Captive state is also another movie that can be connected to Cloverfield

Watched Coherence after finding out about it in this video, and gotta say out of all the big budget Hollywood blockbusters recommended in this video, this low budget simple indie film left the biggest impression on me. The story is so good, it literally carries the entire movie. Easily one of the most underrated films I've ever seen.

I took your advice and watched coherence before you started talking in depth about it. I am so glad I did, it was an amazing movie and I highly recommend it to enjoyers of all movie genres.

Thank you so much for not putting spoilers for the other films other than Cloverfield 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌

Cloverfield 2 has been confirmed to be a sequel to original and is currently filming. Probably 18 months away from release

I feel like I could name any movie or game with an alien in it and say it could be in the cloverfield universe

Ty bro I'm so glad u came back to to the ho Cloverfield idea keep going man im a big fan of your ideas much love man 🎊😉👻👌.

Half-Life feels like it could be apart of the cloverfield universe. it has the same story beats and JJ abrhams is working on a hl/portal movie

Coherence is very good, watched it years ago and still think about it sometimes.

The comparison between the aliens from Signs and Clover is insane.

I'd love both those video idea you had at the end there and would love to see both of them done!

The joke you make at 22:35 about the Reddit thread was awesome

SIGNS IS SO UNDERRATED. Ugh I love it. Really deserves a watch

Have you considered the movie Arrival by Denis Villeneuve because that in a very distant way also could be related to Cloverfield. And Love the video!

Apollo 18 was pretty fun to watch

I'm not too certain if anybody has recommended this yet, but are you planning on doing a video going over TV shows that could also be linked to the Cloverfield series? Obviously Lost has a lot of connections with Cloverfield Paradox being the Dharma Initiative logo was in the Paradox Space Station and slusho that appears and all of J.J. Abrams TV shows as well. I love the show Lost and as soon as I heard the Stambler brother talking about how the space station turning on the reactor could open a portal to heaven and hell, it made me think of the show and also the fact that of how the plane gets brought down in the show by the island. Don't want to give too much away just in case anybody hasn't watched Lost, but if you haven't I would highly recommend it if you like J.J. Abrams work! Keep up the good work and videos!

paused this to watch Coherence. you were right, awesome story.

Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't mention Vivarium. A very weird alien movie that had more questions than answers. The Japanese films 'Before We Vanish' and the sequel 'Foreboding' are other VERY under-rated alien films that come out of nowhere, but show a hidden invasion very well.

Damn yeah that Life scene at 6:28 could have definitely been in Cloverfield when they show the pod drop from the sky into the ocean at the beach. that’s actually pretty perfect

Very interesting video. Great work.

Nice use of Keven Sherwoods undone as your background music

The Cloverfeild Universe(s) is like majorly tied headphones, going in so many different ways, you just get so lost.

I love Chronicle it always makes me happy to hear it mentioned

I think here is the place to give my idea Cloverfield miniseries based on the 2008 movie We saw the perspective of the civilians, right ? Now imagine a series were each episode we see a different view of that disaster From the army, the paramedics, the cops, the government, the firefighters That kind of thing

Could district 9 be part of this universe or do you think it is it own thing.

good video… not gonna lie, i was distracted by the cod zombies background music

I remember when the teaser for Super 8 first dropped and the JJ Abrams was attached to the project people were 100% certain it's a new Cloverfield movie and it probably should have been tbh.

Idk why but I want a Cloverfield and monsterverse crossover, seeing clover fight Kong, the g-man himself, or maybe use clover as a way to introduce Zilla from the 1998 animated show

A video on how you'd write a direct sequel would be awesome! Loved this video too, very cool collection of connections.

I like the cloverfield and chronicles crossover idea.

Coherence is beautifully underrated. Beyond loved this movie.

Another work/story that could fit with the Cloverfield universe is the ARG "The Sun is Vanished". Man, that story and ambientation, along with the reports, photos and videos found footage of this ARG seem to be reports and the perspective of another person in another part of the United States during the events of the first Cloverfield movie. It could be a genelate alien invasion that we can't realise because the point of the view from the characters of the first movie.

It wouldn't make sense for the Cloverfield monster to be the pet of the Signs alien because the signs aliens are fatal to water whereas the Cloverfield monster came from the ocean.

I think Transformers being semi connected to the Cloverfield universe would be pretty cool, considering they're both under Paramount.

The one main disagreement I have with you regarding linking these movies together is that surely it takes away the originality of the first film-maker and whatever vision and contribution they made. I absolutely adore ''Midnight Special'', I find it very moving and watch it from time to time because I find it so inspiring. If I were to watch it with the thought in the back of my mind that it was part of some larger story then it would, counter-intuitively though it might sound, detract from the movie itself. It's not the only one you mentioned, there were others included in your list, but I would argue against them being included in some meta narrative for the same reason. Before you know it, wide ranging SF ideas start coagulating into a Marvel comic-like franchise. From what I gather, that is not turning out so well.

A clover field chronicle cross over found footage big budget movie about them fighting monsters sounds like one of the best action movies never made honestly.

Annihilation is one of my fav movies. I've watched it at least 20 times.

The Signal, a movie with Brenton Thwaites as the lead, could totally fit the list because it has almost all the themes mentioned in the video, also if you haven't watched it i really recommend it

I got drawn in by the zombies background music ngl

Underwater is clearly Cthulu. Are we willing to tie the Lovecraft horrors into the Cloverfield universe?

Bird box and Underwater are both thought to be inspired by lovecraftian monsters, specifically Cthulhu, Idk about you but this is enough to make me believe they’re at least connected especially when we’re talking about clover field.

Something that i think helps strengthen a Cloverfield universe connection is the story having something to do with government secrets or coverups. Sure not all Cloverfield movies have this but it definitely helps

There was an interactive trailer for Super 8 that you could find in Portal 2 which is pretty mad

12:38 “seal of approval “

I paused this to watch Coherence; I've gotta say, it really reminds me of Primer but with alternate realities instead of "time travel"

I remember seeing Coherence for the first time and being so deeply horrified by the thought of it happening in real life. Not just it happening, but that you'd have no way to stop it, or even if it did happen and you survived it, you would never be able to prove it happened to anyone ever.

Chronicle is the most underrated found footage movie ever made.

I could imagine Event horizon being the first one in the series, opening gates between realities causing echoes stretching through space and time through different realities the moment they fired up the black-hole drive, and that leaves the event horizon as the focal point of it all, allowing weird forms of science and probabilities that never should have occurred happen and succeed, where they would have failed in a 'normal' situation. Destroy the EH and end the insanity. It allowed the Cloverfield bebeh to fall through to a different reality, the Sheppard array to do what it was never designed to do, being propelled through different realities every time it was activated and all the stuff crossing sci-fi to reality. Hey, maybe it literally connects the place where all of human consciousness, and ideas/imagination comes from, that's why we have created all the things we have since way back...

If we’re talking about the Paradox - I feel like Jordan Peeles Nope could be a part of it. The alien in Nope almost looks like an Overlord of sorts - maybe the creator of Clover and Clovers parents. AND THE HORSES NAME IS CLOVER BTW

You can say pacific rim can be in the cloverfield multiverse because its has the same idea ( dimenstions collision )

Holy. Shit. You just blew my mind. OF COURSE Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is part of the Cloverfield Universe! 🤯

Like yes but also no due to the different production companies (yes I saw you said these are movies you’d like to be in the CCU, but I can’t even get behind these ideas for that reason 😭)

Wait, is it just me or i think ive watched ur video last week?🤔

I think the sequel Star wars Trilogy is a cloverfield Movie too because its from abrams and its all about mystery

th thing with underwater is that the director said the monster is a direct reference to C'thulhu the monster from H.P. Lovecraft works

ho-ly shit. i forgot about chronicle and super 8. what a throw back!
