7.  10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

Originally based off a spec-script known as The Cellar, 10 Cloverfield Lane was picked up by JJ Abrams’ production company, Bad Robot, who opted to incorporate this chamber play into the Cloverfield universe.  Focusing on the psychological claustrophobia of three people taking refuge from unknown attackers, this story focuses on the struggle for power when all the rules off society get thrown out the window.  The terror doesn’t come from the creatures beyond the secured door of the safe house, but from behind the eyes of its inhabitants, never knowing if an act of kindness was done to save a life or to make prisoners out of those trapped inside.

 Man scolds young survivor for breaking his strict rules.  (10 Cloverfield Lane, 2016)
