Confined

About This Movie

Confined is this eerie little piece from 2020 that really leans into the claustrophobic vibes of quarantine. The atmosphere is thick with unease, and the pacing has this creeping dread that just builds up nicely as the young man's mental state unravels. The whole concept of this unnatural hole in the bathroom – it’s like a gateway to his past but twisted in a haunting way. The performances are raw, especially with how the lead interacts with this familiar figure – it’s unsettling but also relatable in a weird way, given the isolation we all felt. Practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the whole sense of dread without overdoing it. It’s definitely distinctive for its time, capturing a unique sense of horror during lockdown.
