The trailer begins with the three characters listening to music, lounging around and doing puzzles at home, when the room begins to shake.

Winstead’s character can be seen fighting to escape when she finds the door to the cellar.

“Don’t open that door – you’re going to get all of us killed!” Goodman shouts.

The trailer ends as Winstead takes a look at the light shining through the door and sees something shocking. “Something’s coming,” Goodman whispers.

10 Cloverfield Lane was directed by Dan Trachtenberg from a screenplay by Josh Campbell, Matt Stuecken and Damien Chazelle.

“The idea came up a long time ago during production. We wanted to make it a blood relative of Cloverfield,” Abrams told Collider. “The idea was developed over time. We wanted to hold back the title for as long as possible.”

10 Cloverfield Lane is set to hit theaters Mar. 11.
