10 breathtaking movies set in one location

Cinema doesn’t always need overwhelming media deployments, thus being able to tell great stories in tight spaces. Through good interpretations, a script work and impeccable photography, it is possible to develop films in a single location; thus demonstrating the mastery of each of the participants in the film. These ten tapes are some of the most prominent in the industry. ‘Buried’ Ryan Reynolds has received countless criticisms for signing works of questionable quality; however, he is the protagonist of one of the most harrowing films of all time. ‘Buried’ is a Spanish film, directed by Ricardo Cortés, in which a man spends more than an hour and a half buried alive in a coffin. If you suffer from claustrophobia, we highly recommend that you skip this movie. ‘Saw’ The ‘Saw’ saga became an overwhelming success overnight, leaving up to eight installments behind, with nine coming soon. All of them run, practically, in a single space; however, the former is notably superior to the rest. A macabre game that started the audience’s devotion to the subgenre known as “torture porn”, taking the gore to the top of Hollywood. ‘7 years’ Netflix Spain debuted with this film that, in 2016, opened the doors to the original productions of the platform. A film starring Paco León that launches a moral debate, accompanied by a series of script twists that make it impossible to disconnect from the plot. The story takes place in an office and serves as a social criticism of hypocrisy, falsehood and the force that money marks in our day to day life.’Twelve Merciless Men’ Sydney Lumet signed in 1957 one of his best works and, certainly, one of the best films in history. It does not take more than a courtroom and twelve people to take the viewer on an odyssey of intrigue, positioning itself as an enduring Hollywood classic. The film won the Oscar for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay and Direction, proving that great eloquence is not necessary to leave a mark on the seventh art.’Dogville’Lars Von Trier started dogma, the cinematographic current of cult that stipulated its own rules. Although it is true that ‘Dogville’ does not appear as one of the works belonging to the dogma, the film draws directly from this format. The film takes place on a theater stage, being the representation of a town in which a series of events of absolute crudeness take place. An experience reserved for the most staunch movie lovers, completely different from what is established by Hollywood.’Cube”Cube ‘hit theaters 7 years before’ Saw ‘and the references of James Wan’s film are more than clear . This psychological thriller takes place in different spaces within the same global setting, being, like the ‘Saw’ saga, a macabre puzzle in which each challenge puts the lives of one of the characters at risk. The film is available on Netflix and led to two sequels: ‘El hoyo’ ‘El hoyo’ is one of Netflix’s most notable hits, also of Spanish origin. We are facing an allegory of class distinction that does not hesitate to sadistically criticize the social hierarchy to which we are subject as a population.His third act is one of the most confusing in recent years; however, the hour and a half of film generates all kinds of sensations that put the spectator’s stomach resistance to the test. ‘[Rec]’ La saga ‘[Rec]’ is a benchmark of horror cinema not only in Spain, but also worldwide .

The plot revolves around a test in which 20 volunteers are divided between inmates and prisoners to simulate the situation in prisons. The development of the film brings to the table traits of the human being such as the lack of empathy or cruelty that, being based on real events, is presented as an authentic reflection of everything that is going wrong in the world. ‘Lock’Tom Hardy is one of the best actors of his generation and we find proof of this in his many films. ‘Locke’ is one of the most representative of his overwhelming ability to interpret, being the entire course of the film inside a car. A psychological drama in which its director, Steven Knght (‘Peaky Blinders’), creates an intelligent and, against all odds, fast-paced tale.
