Movies like Panic Room

The Purge presents a horrifying premise where crime is legal for one night, leading to a family's struggle to survive against home invaders. The theme of a household under siege will resonate with those who were captivated by the survival aspects of Panic Room.

Red Eye is a thriller directed by Wes Craven featuring a protagonist in a confined space (this time an airplane) who must outsmart a criminal to ensure her survival. Its premise of contained spaces and psychological manipulation aligns well with the claustrophobic feel of Panic Room.

Inside Man crafts a clever tale of a bank heist with unexpected twists that keep viewers on the edge of their seats, much like Panic Room's own claustrophobic cat-and-mouse game. Directed by Spike Lee, it presents a high-stakes negotiation and a mastermind at work, akin to the intelligent, suspenseful plot that fans of Panic Room will appreciate.

Hostage, starring Bruce Willis, involves a tense negotiation and a situation where a family is held captive in their own home. The blend of tight-space suspense and moral dilemmas presents a comparable experience to Panic Room.

Firewall stars Harrison Ford as a security specialist who must outwit criminals threatening his family in order to protect them and thwart a heist. Fans of Panic Room's home-bound tension and high-stakes negotiation will find Firewall equally engaging.
