It has none of the original's subtlety and, of course, this flaw turns the characters into cookie cutter poop.

And the Cloverfield link supposed to explain the creature from the original but it's doesn't make a lot of sense imo.
I really wish I didn't see this movie.

**MINOR SPOILERS WARNING**
I understand your frustration. The thing is (according to wikipedia) the original title of it was
The Cellar; then it seems they thought the idea can serve as a cashing in opportunity following the success of original CLOVERFIELD (2008) and labeled or calling it as a "Spiritual Sequel"(a successor to a work of fiction that does not build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, yet features some or many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material, thereby resulting in it being related or similar "in spirit" to its predecessor).
Therefore, other than having an alien invasion sort of apocalyptic scenario & the name 'Cloverfield' in its title, there weren't much similarities actually lies between the two films but still there is a little chance that may be a future sequel can give the answer(s) and bring some ties between these films.
But yeah...it'd be better to be a standalone film other than releasing it sort of a loose sequel of a popular flick. I enjoyed it. Liked the character driven, bit psychologically twisted story.
