After chasing people around with hungry alligators in Crawl, French director Alexandre Ajais back looking to mine horror and thrills in confined spaces. In this case, Mélanie Laurent is the one under threat in new Netflix pic Oxygen, which has a new trailer online. Take a deep breath and a look...

Laurent here plays a young woman 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...

Yes, it looks like a claustrophobic idea, as the woman – who we learn in the trailer is named Elizabeth Hansen (OR IS SHE???), and she'll have to use the pod's operating system M.I.L.O (voiced by Mathieu Amalric) to try to figure out what is going on.
