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.
