10 Cloverfield Lane

After a catastrophic car crash, a young woman wakes up in a survivalist's underground bunker, where he claims to have saved her from an apocalyptic attack that has left the outside world uninhabitable.

A tightly wound single-location thriller that earned strong notices for its performances and Trachtenberg's controlled direction, though critics split sharply over the ending — many found the final act a jarring tonal lurch that undermined the bunker tension that preceded it, while others felt it delivered on the film's promise.
