Den of Geek - 12 Scary Cinematic Sieges

What is a siege movie? It's basically any film in which a small group of people are trapped in some sort of enclosed or constricted setting, with someone(s) or something(s) outside that space threatening their lives and safety in the most aggressive manner possible. Quite often as well, there is someone or something inside the space that may also jeopardize the people inside, whether they know it or not. The thing about siege movies is that they exist within many different genres — action, horror, sci-fi, war, Western, etc. — and work effectively within each at creating dread, suspense, terror and excitement. There's an undeniable, visceral thrill in watching a movie and waiting to see who emerges in the morning light, battered yet alive…and sometimes who doesn't. Here's a dozen of the scariest cinematic sieges we've encountered — and managed to make it through intact.
