10 Great Movies That Make You Feel Claustrophobic

"Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces. But a film does not have to be shot in an enclosed setting to be able to invoke the feeling of claustrophobia in the audience. Many films play on the fear of enclosed spaces by using elements that trigger that overwhelming feeling of claustrophobia. This can include a feeling of being trapped or shut in, being somewhere where you cannot leave or escape, or being hunted down or in mortal danger. All of those feelings mimic the fear of being in an enclosed space, and so play successfully into conjuring up feelings of claustrophobia.
The following films successfully manage to play on the above fears and make the audience feel claustrophobic."
