Showdown: Panic Room

Visit here for the current topic and join in the fun.

Inspired by the new horror Heretic, this week’s Showdown offers the invitation to look through a glass darkly at the claustrophobic confines of chamber pieces. Whether set in the lighthouse, high-school detention or a tech CEO’s isolated mansion, these films are defined by their limited number of cast members and locations. To keep it real tight—and because we’ve done a single-setting Showdown before—your list of ten best chamber pieces must also have ten or fewer named characters. If you’re stuck, get a clue from these lists by Michael, Sicko and Mucyo. Happy listing, and happy (Northern Hemisphere) autumn sonata!
