The 15 Best Movies That Take Place in One Location (Slashfilm)

"Modern blockbusters often embrace maximalism—huge budgets, stars, flashy visuals, and globe-trotting stakes—thanks to the superhero era. That's why single-location films feel refreshing: they narrow the scope, letting audiences relax into a focused story instead of constant spectacle. These films rely on creativity within constraints, highlighting performances, editing, or camera work. The movies on this list showcase how limiting location can lead to inventive, compelling cinema—even if a few sneak in shots elsewhere." - slashfilm.com
