As soon as the recognizable Netflix logo and associated audio sound bite disappear, the next frame of
Oxygen shows a rat roaming around in what is revealed to be a maze as the camera pans back. It’s such a random visual that I assumed it was going to be an additional logo, this one for a company director Alexandre Aja (

Inglourious Basterds) plays a woman who wakes up in an extremely high-tech pod and discovers she has no memory of who she is or how she ended up here.
