Claustrophobia is a tense little thriller that really plays with the senses, especially since our protagonist is deaf. You feel his isolation and desperation due to the clever use of open captions that give you a peek inside his thought process. The pacing can get under your skin, building tension as he faces not only the threat of his neighbor but also his own fears. The atmosphere is quite claustrophobic, fittingly enough, with tight spaces that mirror his mental state. Performances are raw and gripping without the need for flashy dialogue. I think it stands out in the way it handles its themes of vulnerability and survival, making the viewer really connect with the reality of living in fear. Solid practical effects for its budget too, adding to the authenticity.
