Ok so a long shot but I remember watching a Tom Cruise film but can’t remember the name of the full story. Helpful, I know! Basically a load of people have to stay in this building that was like a warehouse sort of building. If they left they would be attacked. I can’t remember if it was by aliens or something. Anyway of course Tom Cruise would leave the building with a big gun to go and get supplies..... anyone know what it is called??

I was going to suggest The Mist but I don't think they got shot at. The monsters were just 'there'

watermelonmartini · 30/12/2020 21:17

I am no film buff, but asked my dh who suggested The Divide

ConfusedcomMum · 30/12/2020 21:19

The Darkest Hour

Never watched it but did a Google search. Seems to fit your description.

Dachshelp · 30/12/2020 21:31

No not those either. I know, it is annoying, I read a description and get all excited but it ends up not the one! Who knew there were so many similar films!!

The plot of a film called The Last Days seems to be exactly what you're talking about but that's a Spanish film I think. Unless there was a remake?

I asked my brother who's the biggest movie buff I know. He said, 'oh I know that! Its not tom cruise, there's no a listers in it. Its quite obscure but I can't remember what it's called!' How annoying!!

shinynewapple2020 · 30/12/2020 22:11

You're sure they were Aliens not zombies? Sounds like the walking dead to me .

dingoesatemybaby · 30/12/2020 22:12

The Darkest Hour?

Not Tom Cruise though

MorbidMuch · 30/12/2020 22:26

If it's definitely about aliens, maybe the list here will help jog your memory (particularly if you look at the release year too)?

Birdbox had a warehouse seen in it? But that is Sandra bullock!

Dachshelp · 31/12/2020 06:27

Birdbox looks good!

Just to clarify I ‘think’ it is a warehouse but I don’t know, it’s just a big building (high ceilings) line a warehouse. Thanks @yahyahs22 I was starting to feel like I was going crazy Grin I will have a look at that @MorbidMuch

It’s not High Rise with Tom Hiddlestone is it?

Dachshelp · 31/12/2020 06:45

No not high rise...

Captive state?

KatherineJaneway · 31/12/2020 06:59

I was thinking Birdbox too.

WestSideBoom · 31/12/2020 07:01

I'm loving how you thought it was Tom and some aliens and a warehouse but now it's not Tom Cruise and maybe not actual aliens and not a warehouse but a building with high ceilings.Grin

Was it Pride and Prejudice? Pemberley has high ceilings and the sisters do hide from Mr Collins.

shuuush · 31/12/2020 07:13

The mist is the film you're describing but Tom Cruise isn't in it.

Dachshelp · 31/12/2020 07:14

@WestSideBoom come to think of it... some people did wear bonnets ..... Grin

Interview with a vampire. There’s big buildings in it and they’re worried about venturing outside (during daylight).

Sorry it’s quite funny how the scenario keeps changing

shuuush · 31/12/2020 07:15

Ok not the mist 🙈

Is it quarantine?

Dachshelp · 31/12/2020 07:17

The mist does look good but not it.

The main actor (ok so clearly now not Tom cruise) goes out of the building (that they are hankering down in and getting medical treatment) with another guy, the main actor has a big gun in his hand, I remember them trying to get into a car but I don’t remember if the cars worked, I don’t think they did, like all those type of films the alien forces manage to stop car engines working Hmm when they leave the building the area is wrecked, so broken smashed up cars and buildings etc and no one else is there as they are either dead or hiding....

No idea but I’m going to have to follow this thread now

Dachshelp · 31/12/2020 07:26

@Frazzled2207 Grin it’s so annoying!! It’s a good film and I want to watch it again!! Now I look like a crazy person making films up Blush

Whatever it is there is going to be a massive surge in their viewing figures this afternoon.

Ridingthegravytrain · 31/12/2020 07:35

Damn I was checking in again.
It’s not that Chernobyl type thing where they all live in a bunker? Can’t remember the name
