About this list
Sometimes there's no creature at all — just a coffin, a locked cube, a sinking car, the open ocean — and the horror is simply that there is no way out. The genre strips survival down to its barest mechanics, trapping its characters in a single unforgiving space where the location itself does the killing. This is a list for confined-survival films where escape is the whole problem, and panic is the only company.
