By telling the narrative from the point of view of characters forced to wear blindfolds, "Bird Box" delivers gripping, suspenseful moments that deeply immerse the audience in the unfolding events of the movie.

"Phone Booth" on Disney+

"Phone Booth" is a unique thriller that takes place in the single titular location.

The story follows a young publicist who answers a ringing payphone and finds himself targeted by a sniper, who threatens to kill him if he hangs up the call.

Set entirely within a confined space, the film is grippingly suspenseful and almost claustrophobic. However, Colin Farrell's compelling performance grounds the film, allowing it to explore various themes and character growth through the protagonist's conversations with the sniper, police and bystanders on the street.

Feel the rush of adrenaline as you try to unravel the mystery of who trapped Colin Farrell in a tightly enclosed phone booth.
