The 10 Best One Room Movies: Mind Benders, Thrillers, and Suspense According to Whatnerd

"I'm a huge fan of movies that have a single location, especially if the film's premise is confined to one specific room. It really forces the writers and director to exercise their creativity to wring the most drama and tension out of every scene, and the result is usually more interesting than big set pieces and done-to-death action scenes. Here are some of the best one-room movies I've seen over the years that really push their individual concepts to the limit." - whatnerd.com
