Synopsis

A mother and her diabetic daughter move into a New York brownstone with one unusual feature: a steel-doored panic room. The room comes in handy when they’re targeted in a terrifying home invasion, and need to play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with three intruders while trapped in the room.

Our take

David Fincher’s sharkskin-sleek style was honed by his love for the sly, inventive techniques of genre films. This is Fincher at his most pure: a relentless thriller of limited space and nightclad claustrophobia that would make Polanski proud. Starring Jodie Foster and a very young Kristen Stewart.
