There are some fears that almost anyone can understand, even if they don’t suffer from it themselves. Heights, the dark, and definitely being enclosed in tight spaces count as just a few. That last one is what befalls poor Melanie Laurent in the upcoming Netflix thriller, Oxygen, which has dropped its latest trailer.
Directed by horror maestro Alexandre Aja (High Tension, Crawl), Oxygen stars Laurent as a woman who wakes up in a confining contraption with no memory of who she is or how she got there. She’ll need to figure it out quick as only 90 minutes of breathable air are left before finding a means of escape becomes a moot issue.
Also in the cast are Mathieu Amalric (The French Dispatch) and Malik Zidi, with the cast understandably small for this one. Fans of single-location thrillers such as Buried, Triangle, and Frozen might dig this.
Oxygen hits Netflix on May 12th.
Oxygen is a French survival thriller directed by Alexandre Aja. The film tells the story of a young woman (Mélanie Laurent, 6 Underground, Inglourious Basterds), who wakes up in a cryogenic pod. She doesn’t remember who she is or how she ended up there. As she’s running out of oxygen, she must rebuild her memory to find a way out of her nightmare.
