Alfred Hitchcock limited setting classic
this one sees a diverse set of battle
survivors struggle to stay alive aboard
a lifeboat leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name’s sake
initial hopes of rescue rapidly dwindle
and detentions rise within the group as
each member’s backstory and history are
aired with no place to hide I making
fumbles kill every feed ample telling in
money it’s a plot that’s been done a lot
since but this one came out during world
war two so the sense of hopelessness and
desperation felt that much more genuine
good deal of our foods been around three
out of the four water breakers have been
smashed inspired by a John Steinbeck
story this adventure drama is a
fascinating look at what humans will do
to survive in a situation we couldn’t
possibly comprehend well maybe they can
answer that number eight cube
a unique idea for a movie in this sci-fi
psychological horror film a group of
strangers meets in a structure made of
individual cubes any of which could kill
you for no obvious reason as they
attempt to navigate their way out of
their prison the stress levels ramped up
as it transpires that anything can
trigger the booby traps and themed
feeling girls each cube is almost
identical and trying to find your way
out is maddening or more accurately
fatal while the repetition of the
cramped environment is just as much a
psychological test as the traps
themselves figure it out I can’t I’m not
dying in bad night number 7 Life of Pi
hello anybody adapting a novel that was
widely thought to be impossible to film
this adventure drama flexi spy
attempting to survive on a lifeboat that
he shares with a huge Bengal tiger God
despite taking place in the expanse of
the Pacific Ocean the boat is his only
refuge while at the same time being the
very thing that could kill him and then
once the tiger dubbed Richard Parker
first rears its head pi realizes he can
be killed at any point
hunga can change everything you ever
talk to you about Joseph so while the
lack of wiggle room to protect himself
means he’s constantly vulnerable this
also keeps us on the edge of our seats
throughout film
number six panic room
open the door please my room definitely
Myra for this thriller revered director
David Fincher was inspired by real-life
stories of panic rooms which seems like
the perfect material for big screen
adaptations well get out of my house in
panic room when burglars invade the home
of a mother and daughter prepare
retreats to their safe room or panic
room tell me to not now the plot
revolves around the thieves attempt to
lure them out at first the room keeps
them safe but as the film progresses it
becomes a hindrance to their survival
the duo knows there is little they can
do to protect themselves and as their
safety is wholly reliant on their
environment it truly makes for a
terrifying concept and a suspenseful
film
number five the Descent being trapped in
uncharted caves would be a frightening
premise on its own but add the fact that
mysterious humanoids are hunting you
into the mix and the fear factor goes
through the roof the mystery of the
unknown makes for an incredibly
irritating sori in this British horror
film as anything can be lurking in the

that tiny space or die here with barely
any natural light the cave feels like a
ready-made tomb for the group that
ventures down there and it’s enough to
put you off spelunking for life
number four phone booth yep

it could be anybody but a ringing phone

choose between his wife or his mistress
while the one he doesn’t choose will be
killed so are you going to call Kelly
