SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on identifying films similar to "Source Code" and "Getaway," which predominantly occur in a single location. Participants refer to this genre as "one location" or "one set" movies, with the term "Claustocore" also mentioned as a descriptor. Notable examples include "The Booth at the End," a television series, and "The Man From Earth," a film set in a cabin. The conversation highlights the lack of a standardized name for this type of cinematic experience.

Im trying to find movies like the 2 that I mentioned above. Where by majority of the scenes take place at one place. For source code was on the train, and for getaway was in a car.
Does anyone know what do you call this type of movies. :D

ah.. thanks a lot
 
"Claustocore" is a label I see used.

the two that stick out in my memory:
"The Booth at the End" is a television series with one set.
"The Man From Earth" is a movie about a man who has lived forever telling a story in a cabin.
