Trapped Cinema

"As long as we know we're trapped, we still have a chance to escape."

– Sara Grant, Neva

What do you do when you are trapped inside an enclosed space? Cry? Cry some more? Cry for help? Cry until your eyes are dry? Stare into nothingness? Call mom? Perhaps you'll just laugh it all off.

Paranoia can really set in during immurement. Cinema has been able to show us the brutality of being trapped — letting us experience claustrophobia, making us question our own freedom.

Without further blah blah blah, I listed down some of my fave films that trap us inside their trapped plot.

Scare Fest

Horror films. They usually make you not want to go to the bathroom and have a midnight wee-wee. They can also make you sleep with the lights on. Or they can simply make you paranoid. Despite the effects, one can't help but enjoy the fright these films have to offer. I know it's not November yet. But still! :P

These are some of the films that still terrify me after all these years.
