Director: Dan Trachtenberg

Writer: Josh Campbell, Matthew Stuecken, Damien Chazelle

Stars: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr.

Synopsis: Following an incredibly horrible and jarring car accident, a young woman wakes up to discover she is chained to a wall in some underground bunker. As she comes to, she learns she's been brought there by Howard (John Goodman), who claims some tragic event took place and now everyone above ground is either dead or dying. The woman, Michelle, goes back and forth between believing Howard and thinking he's a threat so, with the help of Emmett (the only other person in the bunker), she tries to uncover the truth.

Join us next time as we review the 2011 film, Kill List, from director Ben Wheatley. We chose Kill List for our next review because Mr. Wheatley is the director of the upcoming movie, High-Rise (4/28/2016), starring Tom Hiddleston (settle down, Suzi), Jeremy Irons, and Sienna Miller. Plus, Kill List is absolutely worth the re-watch.
