'Super 8' drama at 10: JJ Abrams talks lingering mysteries, the roots of Sheriff Lamb's feud

Ten years ago, writer-director J.J. Abrams' "Super 8" arrived in theaters, shrouded in mystery.

The trailer had revealed a monster, unseen, wreaking havoc on 1979's Lillian, Ohio with the town's perplexed Deputy Jackson Lamb (Kyle Chandler) saying, "We've got things happening here that I can't explain."

Many "Super 8" enigmas were answered due to the sleuthing efforts of the sheriff's son, Joe Lamb (Joel Courtney), and his pack of Super 8 movie-shooting friends – including Alice Dainard (Elle Fanning, in a breakout performance).
