Closed Environment Movies
All the movies listed below take place in a building, house, room, or any other similar environment. Some of these movies are single-location movies but not all of them. There’s something about this setting that induces a sense of claustrophobia and suspense. You feel trapped along with the characters in this pressure cooker that could explode any minute.
The Belko Experiment [2016]
Following a familiar, equal parts brutal and thought-provoking formula of single-location murder mayhem, The Belko Experiment is a good watch.
Infested AKA Vermines [2023]
Limited by stereotypical character development, Infested is still a nasty little French horror laced with arachnophobia and claustrophobia.
Late Night With The Devil [2023]
Flawlessly written and oddly compelling, Late Night With The Devil is one of the most original occult horror movies I’ve seen in years.
Jericho Ridge [2023]
Intense and well-crafted, Jericho Ridge is an entertaining single-location thriller about a cop trapped in a police station under siege.
The Haunting [1999]
Hilariously heavy-handed and yet visually alluring, The Haunting also features one of the most stunningly beautiful haunted houses ever.
Krampus [2015]
A bit hectic towards the end, Krampus is a solid Christmas-themed horror comedy still offering loads of fun and nasty creatures.
The Guilty AKA Den Skyldige [2018]
Unrelentingly gripping, The Guilty AKA Den Skyldige is a 2018 Danish single-location thriller unfolding in real time you simply must watch.
Open 24 Hours [2018]
Rough around the edges but still competent, Open 24 Hours is a stereotypical slasher horror movie that fans of the genre will appreciate.
Night of the Hunted [2023]
Unfolding in real-time at a remote gas station, Night of the Hunted is an atmospheric thriller just good enough to warrant a viewing.
Night of the Demons [1988]
Cheesy but fun and imbued with the spirit of the eighties, Night of the Demons is a horror comedy not afraid of nudity or gore.
Dog Day Afternoon [1975]
Based on actual events, Dog Day Afternoon is not just an intense hostage situation movie but a still relevant exploration of our society.
