Oh, it’s preposterous, but there are enough unexpected turns in the plot to keep you guessing as you bite those nails down to the quick.

Rated: 3/4

Film Threat

You won’t find any pivotal innovations in the narrative formula, but you will find an atmosphere and tempo that screams claustrophobia and desperation in every frame.

Rated: 6/10

“Schießer’s Amazon film is an imaginative thriller, one that requires the performers to think visually like the director.”

Everything's Interesting

Trunk: Locked In is a claustrophobic watch by necessity; I’d be disappointed if it weren’t. Thankfully, director Marc Schießer manages to move his camera in wild, interesting ways despite the confined setting, constantly finding new, intriguing angles.

I felt slightly let down... although, because I like so many other aspects of this film, I do think that there is a place for this in your to-watch list.

Rated: 6/10

The Take-Up

A 96-minute, single-location, mostly-real-time nail-biter that delivers solid survival-thriller fundamentals.

Single location movies are a pet hate of mine as it feels like a creative copout, so maybe I'm not the best person to review this. After about forty minutes it appeared we were going to be stuck in the trunk the whole movie. I got bored and tapped out. The acting and production value was fine. The storytelling didn't feel realistic.

A girl in the trunk of a car fearing for her life rings everyone but the police -and wastes time watching clips on her phone. I gave up after 10 minutes.. Insulting nonsense.

Why doesn’t she call 911 when she is locked in a car trunk by a criminal?

The movie is not bad. Some parts are suspenseful. The problem is they telegraph the twist by using one we've seen in many similar movie plots already. And everything in Act III following the twist is either trite or unbelievable or both.
