A REMUX is a direct copy of the video and audio streams from a Blu-ray disc, repackaged into a container like MKV without any re-encoding. Unlike compressed 1080p releases (e.g., YIFY or 2GB encodes), a REMUX retains:
For 10 Cloverfield Lane, this means you experience the film exactly as the director intended — no banding in dark bunker scenes, no crushed blacks in the climax, and full dynamic range in the chilling sound design.
The -CM- tag in the filename likely refers to a release group like CM (perhaps Chinese or European), while REMU is a truncation of REMUX.
The -CM- tag suggests the release might come from a private tracker group focused on preserving Blu-ray structures. Notable characteristics of such REMUXes: -CM- 10.Cloverfield.Lane.2016.1080p.BluRay.REMU...

In REMUX quality, the final wide shot of the alien ship against a fiery sky is reference-grade material for testing contrast and motion handling. For 10 Cloverfield Lane , this means you
10 Cloverfield Lane is also available in 4K Blu-ray (with HDR10). So why choose a 1080p REMUX?
For archivers, the 1080p REMUX remains the sweet spot.
Spoiler alert: Michelle carves a makeshift weapon from crutches and uses a bottle cap as a screwdriver. In low-bitrate encodes, the metal’s sheen and the dark shadows around her hands blend into noise. On a REMUX, every scratch on the bottle cap and every bead of sweat on Winstead’s forehead is razor-sharp.
10 Cloverfield Lane follows Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who wakes up in an underground bunker after a car accident.
