Directed by David Fincher • 2002 • United States
Starring Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker

Relentlessly roving camera work heightens the sense of claustrophobic dread in this typically stylish tour de force of tension from director David Fincher. Newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) move into a New York City brownstone with one unusual feature: a steel-doored panic room that proves to come in handy when they’re targeted in a terrifying home invasion. The only problem: what the intruders want is inside the room itself.
