More movies taking place in one room/house with dialogue

Some of this movie takes place in other locales, but Iwon't quibble, because you're right - the bulk of it takes place in the mansion. But I am responding to this post because I saw this 2 nights ago (for the second time, the first was about 10 years ago). Last night I saw Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder, which is about 95% confined to one house - one room in fact.
I hadn't noticed this quality in Suicide Kings because it is not as dominant, but any viewer can't help but notice that fact about Dial M for Murder. And by the way, Dial M for Murder was excellent, better than I thought it would be from it's reputation as not quite a Hitchcock classic. It's a tight, tight, script - you have to watch every second of it. I got an important phone call about 20 minutes from the end and I told the person "I'm sorry, I'll have to call you back, I'm Watching Dial M for Murder, and I'm missing the key bits!" But that statement would apply to ANY scene in the movie. It's ALL key bits.

Another movie that is over 90% one location (a beautiful long island rustic mansion) is Deathtrap, with Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, and Dyanne Cannon.
Also a very tight suspense mystery, but played frequently for laughs as well.

Hard Candy, www.imdb.com/title/tt0424136

Amazing how suspenseful they were able to make it with basically two actors in one house for all of the movie.

Check out "Mouse Trap", with Michael Caine and Lawrence Olivier (from the 70's), or the remake with Caine in Olivier's role and Jude Law in the Caine Role--just as good.

Or Deathtrap, also with Michael Caine, Dyan Cannon and Christopher Reeves.

I'd add "Identity", even though it's in a motel in the Nevada desert, not just one room, due the amazing cast (Ray Liotta, John Cusack, Amanda Peet, John Hawkes) and the twisting, turning plot.


She deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die.

Finder's Fee...takes place basically in one apartment the whole movie if my memory is right. It was a great movie as well. Also revolves around a group of young guys.

Chained by David Lynch's daughter. Great movie too.

Saw is essentially two dudes in a bathroom with a third laying motionless. And that Devil film about the people stuck in an elevator being picked off one at a time.
