10 GRIPPING MOVIES THAT WERE SHOT IN JUST ONE ROOM
Movies are dynamic works of art that often entail many uses of props, locations, and vibrant costumes to enrich the storyline being presented. However, there are some gripping movies out there that were shot in just one room, and therefore, the storylines presented are just as overwhelming.
Amazed, I bet you would be but still have a look here:
1. Fermat’s Room
Invited by an anonymous host, four mathematicians that do not know each other are gathered in a room. They soon discover that the room is moving onwards and that it would soon crush them. This thriller is gripping as the mathematicians try to figure out the connections between each other and try to solve how to stop the room from moving …show more content…

A Field in England (2013)
The plot being set in the 17th century Civil War, it revolves around a set of characters that are held captive by an evil alchemist and who are forced to find a particular treasure that the alchemist believes to exist. The cinematography and the direction of the creative team have been commended by many of the critics and has been suggested by many as a must watch.

7. The Hidden Room (1949)
If one is familiar with Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment, this movie will prove to be a fascinating movie to watch as this movie focuses on the killer’s preparation and premeditation to commit a crime. Although the crime is a crime of passion, where having revenge is the most important aspect, the probing into the psyche of a killer within his laboratory is a fascinating watch.

8. Locke (2013)
Based on the Steven Knight novel, the movie focuses on one character, the site foreman Ivan Locke, who drives a car for the entire 90 minutes of the movie. Cinematically speaking, this might be one of the most boring movies, as it does not present with all the fancy elements of a commercial film. However, the plot and character development are just as expertly done by the director as it is done in the novels by Steven Knight, and is a must watch for those who don’t believe that novels cannot be recreated on

    Yet the distinct differences between them also affect the plots to an extent to which the suspense in the movie is less compared to the novel. Although the differences greatly alter the two, it makes each of them unique and exclusive from each other. Despite these differences, there is one theme that links both the novel and the movie together: that people with different personalities, interests, and appearances are also the same to each other. The book shows more examples of this theme than the movie, making the novel more understanding to other individuals than the film itself. Because of this, we would recommend the book and film to those who experience a likeliness to the conflicts in each storyline, such as a fight between two different social

Both the story and the film of The Birds are good, the story was better and more interesting in my

    Fyodor Dostoevsky's 19th century novel Crime and Punishment explores the psychological torture and moral dilemmas that the main character Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov faces after he murders a pawnbroker and her sister. All of the characters in the novel face troubles and suffer as a result of them, however all characters do not respond to their difficulties in the same manner. Through the use of foils, which is a literary device in which one character is contrasted with another in order to emphasis particular qualities in the other, Dostoevsky explores character's various responses to difficult situations.
