’m currently developing a contained supernatural horror feature called BUZZKILL.
The story takes place over one night in a single house and follows a group of people trapped with a demon bound by a disturbing rule.
I’m finishing the first draft now and beginning early conversations with genre producers. I’ve been thinking a lot about contained horror lately — films like It Follows, The Invitation, or Coherence that build tension through simple rules and limited locations.
Curious to hear from other filmmakers here: what contained horror films do you think handle the “rules” of the world particularly well?
