The Best of the Worst Claustrophobic Moments in Film

The Phantom of the Opera (1925) – Raoul and Inspector Ledoux are trapped in the Phantom’s lair, trying to find and rescue Christine. Oh-ho, I don’t think so… The Phantom burns the poor bastards in his Secret Room of Awesome Torture. Then the Phantom blasts a ruthless gush of water into the same room, forcing the men to INHALE-EXHALE the finest of breaths while their faces are pressed against the opera house cellar’s ceiling. The Phantom gives in, but my first impression of this scene never will.
The Coen Brothers’ bitter Blood Simple and Martin Scorsese’s vicious Casino both feature two of the most horrifyingly heartbreaking Buried Alive scenes I’ve ever encountered. That’s all you need to know, if you have not witnessed such.
