Rod Serling Would've Been Proud

It's always impressive when writers can craft a captivating story that's set in a single location. The Twilight Zone did it on many occasions and this film definitely captures that spirit. It's a fascinating premise that grabs you from the start and the tension never lets up. You find your sympathies shifting throughout and the ending definitely left me surprised.

Kudos to Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione. They made a film that was both entertaining and philosophically challenging. That's a rare feat. Bet Rod Serling would've loved it.

Food in Films: Nary a crumb in sight and no one complained of being hungry. Imminent death really focuses the senses.

If you enjoyed such single location experiences i highly recommend Exam (2009).

Thanks for the recommendation. Exam synopsis sounds good. Films like these are generally worthwhile because they make you think about how you see yourself in relation to others and, ultimately, what you may or may not be capable of doing.
