Claustrophobic Chills: BURIED and DEVIL

Don't like being closed in? Tight spaces make you all anxious and sweaty? Then these two chilling movies aren't for you:

"Buried" - A kidnapping victim buried in a wooden box under the Iraq desert, with only a cell phone and a Zippo lighter to help him try to survive. An agonizing thriller that never leaves the point of view inside the cramped box. A biting metaphor both for the U.S. trapped in foreign wars and for the frustrations of high-tech phone systems.

"Devil" - Five people trapped twenty floors up in the stalled elevator of a high rise building. If that's not bad enough, one of them is the Devil in human form. Tense psychological horror with a supernatural angle and underlying subtext about the existence of Evil as an entity in its own right.
