Trapped by a Predator
Cornered by Something Hunting You
These films strip their characters down to a single animal instinct: get the vulnerable one out alive. Whether the threat is a cartel hitman, a pack of dogs, or armed neighbors closing in, the setup is the same — an isolated space, a protector with no backup, and a pursuer that doesn't tire or negotiate. What lingers isn't the body count but the geometry of entrapment itself, the way walls, water, or wilderness turn a rescue into a countdown.
