The 10 best underground sci-fi movies to dig into now that 'Silo' season 3 has ended
We're going deeper underground; there's too much panic in this town.
1. The Mole People (1956) - Released on December 1, this campy black-and-white film features archaeologists and scientists searching for an ancient Egyptian-like empire hidden deep beneath the Earth. They encounter vicious mole monsters and a corny romance, making it a cult favorite B-movie with frightening makeup effects and a flashlight as a potent weapon.
2. 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) - Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, this film follows John Goodman's character Howard, who rescues Mary Elizabeth Winstead's character Michelle from a car crash and takes her to an underground survival bunker. Howard and a designer named Emmett convince Michelle that the outside world has been poisoned by an alien invasion, leading to intense paranoia and jealousy within the group.
With threats above ground and growing tensions, this suspenseful thriller becomes a fitting successor to the Cloverfield series.
