The Purge, Green Room, 10 Cloverfield Lane is one person short of your minimum and Zulu is well above your maximum but both of them have that kinda vibe. Reservoir Dogs maybe?

Possibly Hellevator? I can't remember if I saw it or not so I don't remember if it fits but the description sounds right

edit: oh poo poo, 2LDK! It's only two people, but they spend the entire time in a single apartment getting increasingly pissed at each other and it's so loving good.

edit: The various adaptations, remakes, and ripoffs of Haunting of Hill House. And Ghost Ship.

edit: Virus, Creature, Critters 3

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

I actually just spent all afternoon watching movies that fit this description lol. Coherence, The Invitation (2015) and The Laplace's Demon are all really good!

Snake Eyes fits this kind of. There's a brief scene in a casino but otherwise the entire film plays out in a sports arena.

Anyone have any recs similar to vanishing point ('71 version?) Just watched it and it shot right up in the rankings in my favorites list. I've heard two lane blacktop is supposed to be similar, oddly enough what springs to mind is the shooting with Nicholson and McCabe and Mrs. Miller and maybe unforgiven as more meditative takes on genre fare.

I literally just listened to a podcast about The Shooting and they kept comparing it to Vanishing Point and Two Lane Blacktop.

Also Ride the Whirlwind is worth mentioning, which was filmed back to back with The Shooting.

It's incredibly obscure, but Hairpin Circus is probably the best of those It's the Early 70's And We're Driving To Cope With Our Alienation movies that I've seen. I don't think there's any official American release but https://jp-films.com/watch-hairpin-circus/free-sv2.html

Just letting you know I watched hairpin circus and enjoyed it. It wasn't quite as... mystical as vanishing point but I can see the similarity in both films. Thanks very much for the recommendation!

One of the Westerns you're thinking of is probably Stagecoach.

Beware the Forest's Mushrooms
A while ago I asked for crime thrillers, and I was recently reminded of Falling Down, which I've always meant to see. However, as I've said before:

Magnetic North posted:

I am fairly squeamish and I don't want to see movies with lurid depictions of graphic fleshy gore or people squirming around in agony. For instance, (spoilers for 1995's Heat) most of the blood in Heat was fine, like where it's blood on shirts when dudes get shot, but seeing a character with visible slit wrists bothered me.

I looked at the IMDB parent's guide to review the violence, but it's hard to tell from that sometimes. First off, it will also include things that is bloodless in the same category which make sense for its intended purpose but makes it harder for me. Secondly, it will nonchalantly describe things which are quite graphic. For a counter example, as a teenager, I saw Metro, which I heard was a comedy. In this 'comedy' it contains (early spoiler for 1997's Metro starring Eddie Murphy) a character graphically get his throat slashed open on screen, which the parent's guide describes as "One man gets stabbed and his throat slashed." I was trying to think of a movie that contains the same character actions without directly showing it on screen, but the only movie I could recall that had something similar did not include it. (Which I won't mention since it's late in the movie, but it's from 2002.)

So, here's my question: given what I've described about my personal level of tolerance for blood and suffering, should I watch Falling Down?

Kvlt!

Yeah its not a very violent or bloody movie. Its very tense and high stress but its not graphic. I think you should be fine.

We shall dive down through black abysses... and in that lair of the Deep Ones we shall dwell amidst wonder and glory forever.



There’s some violence but it’s way more on the action end of the pole than horror. If Heat is the higher end of your tolerance, it should be a chunk less than that.

Prince of Persia (2010) and The Mummy (1999) come to mind. Not the greatest movies of all time, but if they were "just on" I'd probably watch them again.
