Plot

A woman wakes in a cryogenic chamber with no recollection of how she got there, and must find a way out before running out of air.

Sinekatalog’s take

A single-location survival thriller that confines its heroine in a sealed pod while the clock runs down. The central performance sells the panic, and the puzzle structure keeps interest. Tense and smart, suited to viewers who enjoy contained sci-fi.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
