Trapped in Her Dorm Room

About This Movie

Trapped in Her Dorm Room delivers a claustrophobic tension that really gets under your skin. Sullivan has a knack for creating a sense of dread without needing to go overboard on gore or flashy effects. The pacing is tight, keeping you on edge as Erin’s situation escalates. The performances feel natural—especially from the lead, who captures both vulnerability and resolve quite well. There's a certain simplicity in the setup, which makes the horror more relatable. It’s that classic ‘what if’ scenario that feels all too real, particularly in the college setting. The minimalist approach to practical effects is refreshing, focusing on the psychological rather than the visual. Worth a look if you're into suspenseful thrillers that play on obsession.
