A woman has a car accident and wakes up in a basement. It turns out to be a fallout shelter under a farm. The man who built it has his construction assistant and her locked in because of chemical dangers in the outside air. When they find that the man is not being honest, the woman and assistant work on escaping.
This seemed like it needed a sequel, but it actually is a sequel to Cloverfield (2008). The plot definitely held my attention and the characters were memorable. John Goodman's character was deepest, the woman was shallow until the ending (not spoiling) and the assistant was on the shallow side. It definitely looked better than Cloverfield because it wasn't "found footage" style. Lighting and exposure were correct and there were some varied shots. The audio was pretty decent, but I think some of the subtitles were a little screwy. Special effects at the end looked convincing, but I would have liked to get a better view of the fictional items. Maybe that was intentional. It made me want to watch The Cloverfield Paradox (2018). I rate this adequate. You might want to check it out.
