10 Cloverfield Lane
Here's a helpful handyman tip: why not turn that old bomb shelter into a contemporary sex- dungeon?
Or, like, the doomsday prepper is this psychological-thriller: keep stocking it with preserves.
Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) comes to after a car accident to fine she is confined in an underground bunker curated by conspiracy nut Howard (John Goodman), who believes the air above is now contaminated from an unknown attacker.
Remaining distrustful of her captor while building a rapport with him, Michelle conspires with her co-inmate (John Gallagher, Jr.) on constructing a homemade HAZMAT suit for escaping in.
On one hand it's an intimate and exhilarating cat-and-mouse game with sporadic bursts of humor and malice. And on the other, it's an out-of-left-field alien incursion sequel to the 2008 found-footage Cloverfield. But some how these two conflicting narratives work in an unanticipated fashion.
Ironically, to aliens, underground bunkers are like cans of preserved peaches.
