Plot: A woman wakes in a cryogenic chamber with no recollection of how she got there, and must find a way out before running out of air.
Our Take: In director Alexandre Aja's latest thriller, Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds) plays a woman who wakes up locked in a cryongenic chamber and must escape before running out of air. A single-location thriller is a tricky proposition (see Cube, Buried, or Phone Booth), but after 2019's Crawl proved that Aja could make a fun, tight thriller without totally grossing us out, I'm excited to see how this premise unfolds. — James
