Give them a tenth of that and a single room, and something strange happens: the film gets <em>better</em>. The one-location thriller is the great equaliser of genre cinema, the form where a shortage of money stops being a handicap and turns into a weapon. Lock your story inside four walls and every limitation you were dreading becomes a discipline that sharpens the work. It is the closest thing the low-budget filmmaker has to a superpower, and the best of these films embarrass productions that cost a hundred times as much.</p>Fri, 05 Apr 2024 13:00:00 +0000
