The Russian & American crew on the International Space Station don't know who to trust, after a Nuclear war breaks out on Earth. Here's my review of I.S.S.!
#ISSMovie #ISS - Zábava
My pick for best claustrophobic thriller is easy: The Descent. That movie scared the crap out of me before the “scary” stuff started happening. I actually started to feel more comfortable once it turned into a horror.
REC also almost gave me a heart attack
I agree. "The Descent" caught me off guard with how good and effective it was. It didn't get a whole lot of advertising as I recall. But, boy was I happy when I left the theater.
"the decent" is one of the best horror movies ever. It doesn't get nearly enough love.
@@AllThingsFilm1 OMG you saw it in theater that must've been awesome
Yeah that's one of my all time favorite horror movies
10 Cloverfield Lane is still one of my favorite claustrophobic films. I ended up actually loving the ending more than most people lol. Just a thrilling film overall
10 Cloverfield Lane is great period end of sentence end of debate end of wikipedia article
I rather enjoyed the ending too. If it would've ended up just being a fake-out, like some of the bad later Shyamalan movies, I would've been quite unhappy.
That movie is brilliant
the creepy aspect bothered me not the monster
I loved 10 Cloverfield Lane more; that movie had me on the edge of my tiny fluff every second! The claustrophobic vibes were more intense than trying to fit into a too-small doggy sweater.
I.S.S. had potential, but it's like comparing a tennis ball to a squeaky toy: one's a winner, the other just leaves you chasing after something better. Woof woof 🐶
Cube is still my favorite "guess we're stuck in this one room till the credits roll" movie. I'ma give this on a shot
Underrated movie right there. Part 2 or prequel wasn't as good but still watchable.
I like the menu
Cube is 🔥 yall like circle on Netflix?
Claustrophobic thrillers are my bread and butter. 'Buried', 'Rear Window', 'Pointypool', 'Exam', 'Circle', 'Rope'... I could go on and on
Buried is underrated.
Who said this was a claustrophobic thriller?
Exam deserves way more attention.
@@Timmycoo Totally. I loved that film.
All good ones! Rope is my favourite Hitchcock film. Does Phone Booth count? Love dat one
My favorite claustrophobic thriller is John Carpenter’s The Thing. While they do go to different places. At a certain point these people are isolated to their base with just each other.
I didn't have that on my list, but yes it is! I did have Prince of Darkness. He did the same thing with Darkstar, his first full length film.
OMG that was a great movie....and so under rated!
That is one of the best horror films of all time!
A true classic that deserves to do better on the box office. I loved the sequel or remake with much better CGI instead of practical effects. But the bombed too so no more sequels. A true underrated gem.
The movie "The thing" still has the most claustrophobic vibes of any film
It is an all-time classic, Russell and Carpenter were 80's cinematic gods 😂
100%
Jeremy! This is the quickest I’ve EVER been to one of your videos! I’ve been watching your videos since around 2011 when I first learned “how to CZcams” in elementary school, and now I’m about 2 years into university. Hope all is well, please keep up the great work and congratulations on nearly 15 years as a channel!
The thing, 1980's , best tension building between actors.
And the end scene , chef's kiss.
Amen
The Thing is still one of my favorites, Sunshine 2007 was awesome too
Perfect ending. You just can't do better than the creepy ending of the unknown. A true classic.
I read the script for this movie in college for an assignment in screenwriting. I didn’t realize it ever got green lit and was releasing. That’s kinda cool.
My fav claustrophobic movie is probably Gravity. I went with a friend to see it, not really knowing what was gonna happen. I remember multiple times, my breathing had gotten so shallow that my chest hurt. When it ended, my friend told me his breathing had also gotten super shallow
I don’t think the movie is fully claustrophobic, but also Train to Busan. The parts where the characters had to sneak past all the zombies on the train had me white knuckling
Gravity was such an amazing experience. It really felt like being there and feeling everything. Also a pretty good reason why not knowing anything al all about what a movie is about gives the best experience. I had no clue there was an accident about to happen, just that it had “Sandra Bullock in space”. Yet we are here watching movie reviews!
This isn't a movie, but if this premise sounds intriguing look up Ben Bova's classic short story "Men of Good Will."
In it, Russians and Americans are fighting everywhere except on the moon, and as it turns out, the reason for that peace is unexpected and brilliant.
Thank you. I will.
I'd think international people in space would be smart enough to not fight with each other considering how easy it is to die out there.
@@watamatafoyu Never bet on people being smart enough to know how easy it is for them to die. that's how world war 1 happened.
Plzz don't leave the channel in a time when everyone is leaving
Love you Jeremy
Making movie reviews is relatively easy. Just watch a movie and later film your reaction, not much production writing or time in other things. So i dont think he has burn out. Not underminding his work tho
who tf is leaving its just mattpatt and some other unknowns
@@KFC_Managerlots others, one of those i saw was Cinecom
People are leaving?
Good. Time for me to geow my channel
@@KFC_ManagerCalling Tom Scott an unknown is a crime against humanity
"Buried" is the first movie that came to my mind for claustrophobic movies. That movie surprised me how engaged I was and the ending really surprised me.
That's one of those "It's great! And I'm never going to watch it again," type of films
the one w ryan reynolds?
@@nanc_Yep. If you think he can't act, it will convince you he can.
This is perhaps the most generous *not gonna remember in T-minus..* review for now
He's very kind to it. It's so sad how poorly this movie turned out. Just no utilization of the fact that they're ON THE ISS. Very little tension since the viewer knows everyone's motivation. The astronauts didn't feel like they were astronauts, etc.
My favourite claustrophobic thriller is the first Saw movie. Though a lot of that story is told via flashbacks. So if it has to be strictly in one location, then I'll go with "The End?" An Italian zombie movie set mostly in an elevator.
Underwater has at least a really good opening, in terms of claustrophobia. The rest of the movie has that woman from Twilight and the bartender from Deadpool, and still works for me. Some alcohol may be required.
Aliens was kinda claustrophobic...
Always loved your vids and reviews. Short sharp, witty, fun, entertaining and without giving the plot away. Can't believed I'd not already subbed. Now done!! Roll on big fella! Always a fan!
I don't think it's considered a thriller, but when you say claustrophobic and "Crimson Tide in space" the first thing that pops into my head is The Hunt for Red October. Such a classic.
When you mention claustrophobic movies, “The Platform” comes to mind right away. I love horror/thriller movies, but I haven’t seen nearly enough of them, so it’s great to look through your comments section and make a list! I thought “The Platform” did an excellent job of really placing you in the building and feeling trapped to that one section.
The novel 'Lucifer's Hammer' -- written by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle in 1977, while the cold war was still very hot & 20 years before the ISS even existed in the real world -- had a sub-plot identical to 'ISS', but shit kicks off after civilization is devastated by a massive comet impact. I don't recall what it was named in the novel, but it was a joint space station with both American astronauts & Soviet cosmonauts on board, with communication breakdowns, secret orders, murder & mayhem, etc.
My father recommended me this story if anything for a ridiculously amazing tidal wave excerpt. I'll have to get on it now.
@@F0xH0und7 I read it over a decade ago, but it held up then as an expansive, nightmarish vision of a pre-digital age cosmic apocalypse, and I think it still does hold up; an alternate (end of) history, for a time when it truly felt like the nuclear sword of Damocles was hanging over humanity's head, infusing everything with a nihilistic subtext. The scope is (obviously) massive, & the tidal wave passages definitely stand out, but the savagery, greed, & vicious tribalism that immediately sweeps over the surviving population like a contagion is also memorable, feeling brutally realistic.
@@fuzzuck Wow, what a description. It's definitely on the push list of things to read this year, now. Thank you!
I'd just like to say I've been watching your reviews for 7 years now. I was negative at first but God knows why because now I watch every review you post. I really admire what you do and how you do it. So entertaining and fun to watch. Awesometacular
There need to be a film where they cast Brad Dourif, and he acts in his unique way, so you are convinced he's the villain, but is a complete good guy. Like, Sir Galahad levels of shining virtue.
U ever seen barbarian
I am not someone who is claustrophobic, but the Descent is my pick for most claustrophobic film that I've ever seen. I actually left the theater covered in a cold sweat. It's an excellent film.
Check out the book for an even crazier story
@@JoseMolina-jz9hh How is the Descent book scarier?
Another great one is As Above So Below.
@@watamatafoyu concept is cool but that movie is unwatchable. It’s literally shaky cam motion sickness inducing. It’s a good movie but you can’t watch it without getting sick
@@Lee-vb4vh the movie barely scratches the surface of the underworld that is portrayed in the film. It goes deeper. Wider with characters all over the world. Eventually culminating in I think one of the most terrifying twists in a novel ever, but it would be so difficult to put on a single film. And no pun’s intended.
Space Camp ,Life Pod, Leviathan and the Abyss are the titles off the top of my head.
I had to sleep in my parents room for 3 days after watching The Descent. Caves, slimy " humans", basically no escape. The movie did its job when I had to bring my sleeping bag next to my Mom and dad's bed.
The worst part of that movie is the human betrayal
For claustrophobic thrillers I always liked Red Eye
Thanks for reviewing the smaller movies, even if they're not as thrilling as expected. My first pic for a claustrophobic film would be Cube. But loads of great suggestions in the comment section I see.
Insightful as always. Fantastic creative description about a film already felt I watched.
Interesting that the Chinese were mysteriously left out of this plot lol
China isn’t invited on the ISS in real life
paying homage to the 2001 & 2010 film adaptations
No need to risk the nukes crossing the 4th wall
Well considering they actually are not on the ISS (because the americans didn't want them there, and they have their own space station now as a consequence) it's just realistic.
Left out? There are no Chinese people on the ISS (and never has been). You have to create a fictional space station if you wanted Americans and Chinese fighting on it.
Factor is just hipster tv dinners. There I said it!
Seeing this Saturday pretty excited for this simple premise looks promising & thrilling 😎
A very underrated found footage movie that is very claustrophobic, is 'Apollo 18 - 2011'. I enjoyed it so much!!
Ok
Just watched this earlier and boy was i surprised at how good this movie was with such limited space and small setting. It was thrilling, kept u at the edge of ur seat and the ending was a shocker! Another good space thriller was LIFE
Facts LIFE was legit
@@envy1812 life's ending was meh
LIFE was Not good
LIFE was profoundly mid tbh
ISS is what space was always ment to be....
I drop everything when I get these notifications. Great review again. Right...back to my child 😅
Hell yeah bro me too brotha
The second way you pronounced Asbæk was actually completely on point! Very impressive, since most non-Scandinavians can't pronounce Æ correctly.
It's also worth pointing out that it's not pronounced with an "ayy" sound in English, not even old English. So consider that it's not a matter of correctness.
Love the reviews as always!!!
The scenes from ‘nope’ when their being digested is still the part that has stuck with me mosttt
Why would astronauts even follow orders at that point, you think the US/Russia is going to what send a shuttle up in the middle of an active war to transport one of their crew down for a court martial?
I guess I'll have to see it, because that point would rest on which nation still has the capability to retrieve them. The only way this can be a plot is if both nations still have that capability. Otherwise...the game clearly belongs to the nation that can get its own crew back.
Most favorite claustrofobic film? The Thing (1987), by far!
Yeah that films a classic the practical effects seriously make my stomach turn every time the film was released in 1982.....
Thank you for another upload, I love you and appreciate you for that.
I agree the first part is so strong with the distrust! However there is a big plot hole for me that occurs at the turn which you find out at the end regarding the amount of seats available and a characters motivation to leave
So the ship in the first Alien film is actually quite small it’s just got massive engines and is towing a bloody huge (I forget what it is, I know it’s industrial but I can’t remember if it’s the mining thing or if it’s a refinery for processing the ore) but the alien or the humans never actually go on to the thing their towing as far as I know.
It’s they equivalent of them big 18 wheeler you see but the film only takes place in the cabin at the front of the lorry.
The Nostromo is essentially a tug boat. The refinery they tug is suppose to be unmanned automated factory, so I'm not even sure if it has life support.
Star Trek first contact would be my favorite sci-fi thriller. The borg (basically cybernetic zombies) taking over the ship deck by deck. Those scenes where the crew are walking through those borg infested decks is pretty creepy.
Of course that being said, my favorite horror movie is ghostbusters 2. That subways scene with all the heads on pikes always scared me
Wtf you like Ghostbusters 2 more than the original? Ghostbusters 2 is a quality film but no way, shape or form better than the first
Happy to see Pilou Asbæk get some international recognition, he was great in Borgen
Great claustrophobic thriller “10 cloverfield lane”
John Goodman in that and John Goofman in Oh Brother Where Art Though - epic
Hey jeremy hope you're doing well can you please review The Holdovers
I wanna see that one too.
Claustrophobic horror more than thriller but "the descent" is one of my favorite horror movies ever and suuuuper claustrophobia inducing.
Considering how super professional astronauts are, this premise has almost zero chance to happen. 😂
I really liked how you gave a review of the movie but didn't spoil anything. I was considering seeing this but will now wait until it's available at home...and don't have to worry about already knowing what's gonna happen. Great job!
It was really good.
I'm looking forward to a part two.
The Black Phone is an incredible claustrophobic movie.
True
I remember seeing the trailer for this a few weeks ago with my grandfather and my brother. My brother said something about how this movie was going to be fantastic. Then both me and my grandfather whisper explained that movies go to January to die.
The Cave with Lena Headey and Cole Hauser is pretty claustrophobic. It is about a cave diving team that comes across something they didn't expect. I don't want to give away too much.
Been waiting for this review! Nice premise here. Humans got a long way to go.
It was a solid “shot in one room” thriller. Nothing crazy just solid enough for the category it’s in.
Another fantastic video! Thank you!
Favorite claustrophobic movie? Favorite is hard but maybe the most interesting use of confined space: Fall (2022). It's a pretty good movie and its was kind of interesting that the characters were confined so tightly to such a small space yet they were literally in the open, able to see for miles in every direction.
This is a really fun movie that is great for those that don't try to outsmart everything and allow themselves to be entertained
“Don’t Breath” is definitely my favorite claustrophobic thriller. I had never seen a movie have that much tension and suspense
Yes when i saw it the WHOLE theater was so quiet in the basement scene.. like it was SILENT never experienced that before
10 Cloverfield Lane was pretty good. Fortunately we all knew that there would be aliens involved so the bizarre ending wasn't too much of a shocker.
I love anything with Mary Elizabeth Winstead
That guy (the Greyjoy) is great. I just watched him in a Danish mini-series 1864 and he, again, played a villain. He's good at it.
In keeping with the space theme, I really liked Life. But someone mentioned 10 Cloverfield Lane in the comments and that’s awesome too
It stands for Irrational Spook Story
Ohh January, you never disappoint 🤣
Was looking for a review and tbh didn’t even think you watched it yet so when this popped up I got excited
Bro, for second favorite claustrophobic thriller I thought of Pandorum. Went and watched your video on that one too lol
Saw it tonight, and really enjoyed it. The first half is a bit more suspenseful, but I think that’s because it’s establishing the characters and setting the scene for how each person will play their part, and it still surprises you.
So.... Nobody's gonna mention that this is just about the closest live action among us we're ever gonna get? I say that and I don't even play among us.
pretty much all of these movies are amongus.
thanks for ur awesome reviews bro
Damn 11 pm and time for a jeremy review. Alright lets do this!
I felt that this movie came out way too early than it is appropriate to do so amidst the tension between the West & Russia. I still remember that Russia threatened to detach their side of the ISS irl...
Argh… someday we will learn to live in peace. As a Russian-Ukrainian I can say, on average ordinary people in russia don’t have hate for Americans. But the government does everything to instigate the hate and tension. A lot of older generation fall for this propaganda. It’s a shame we are being ruled by stupid old people and an old insane authocrat.
Know Jeremy won't see this, but I've been a subscriber since your channel had less than 10k people. This was the second channel I subscribed to back in the day after subscribing to some cooking channel I can't even remember anymore. Came for the honesty, stayed for the FF6/Chrono Trigger/LotR fanboy. Hoping you and your friends/family have a great 2024.
I always look forward to your reviews l!
That’s a real shame. This is one of only a few trailers I’ve seen recently where I was like “damn that actually looks awesome!”
It would have been much better if Gerard Butler was on board.
THIS
IS
I.S.SPARTA!!!!
(kicks capitalist out of airlock)
A claustrophobic sci-fi/horror movie you might not know about is "Crawl or Die" from 2014. A squad of marines on another planet are forced underground by alien monsters. They need to get the last human capable of procreation to an escape ship, but to do that, they have to crawl through a seemingly endless tunnel system, all while being pursued by the monsters. Very thrilling!
Event Horizon and Identity. liked both
Dead Calm (1989): Sam Neill, Nicole Kidman (her breakthrough role), and Billy Zane. Two yachts, one is sinking, and only one survivor from it climbs aboard the other. Great moments of tension on each boat in the middle of the ocean.
I want to recommend a movie I translated for work (I make subtitles for a living) called "Capsule", where Britain is secretly the first nation to put a man in space and other forces work against them. We spend almost an entire movie in the capsule with the astronaut, it's very claustrophobic and intense.
Oh man I’m glad you clarified. I thought this was going to be a horror movie about In School Suspension.
Crimson Tide is my pick, watching Gene Hackman and Denzel at it was gold!
I agree with your review, and it was very well articulated.
Fav claustrophobic movies: Apollo 13, Deep Blue Sea, The Descent, & Panic Room.
When you started describing the plot, I was immediately thinking of Crimson Tide in space, too.
My favorite claustrophobic film is "Day of the Dead" because it got everything you want on that genre esp. the villain character Capt. Rhodes, he makes The Governor and Negan from TWD looks like a saint.
Good. But the thing is the best
The Descent comes to mind.
Yup
Imma still see it, but damn.... Was hoping they'd go further with this premise. The trailer looks insane.
Not necessarily my #1 go to but definitely one I don’t hear a lot of people talk about, ‘Outland’ 1981, a Peter Hyams film.
Aside from Alien, the best claustrophobic horror movie is The Thing (1982)
Sunshine.
I’ve seen it about 10 times. Creeps me out and fascinates me every time. Been chasing that dragon ever since. I didn’t realize how hard it is to make a movie about people in a spaceship and it be good.
Speaking of Alien Resurrection with Brad Dourif, there is a great Alien Resurrection fan edit that just came out called Alien Rebirth, Alien fans need to check this out!
Sounds about right for January film. Seems to have the same fundamental flaw as Sunshine. Conceptually interesting movie but devolves into a horror slasher film and unfulfilling ending. Oh wait that was Life as well. Best claustrophobic survival thrillers? The original Poseidon Adventure (never saw the remake) Sphere, and Das Boot though I should really see Crimson Tide some time.
this indeed looked really interesting when i saw the previews in theaters
Haha I was typing sounds like Crimson Tide as you finished your review 😂.
Sorta reminds me of the crappy 80s rental DEFCON 4. Excellent box art drew me in. Might check this out at some point.
Your review is spot-on!
My fav claustrophobic movies are Phone Booth, Tape, Buried, Moon, Carnage, Locke All is Lost and 127 hours.
Though I feel like I’m missing some.
Two thumbs up for 'Locke'!
Interesting to see Asha (her voice actress Ariana Debose is here) in a space thriller movie.
🎵"So look I out at the stars to kill me and throw panic to every atom bomb!"🎵
The best actor bait I’ve experienced was in Knives Out. Every time I was given a chance to trust Ransom’s motives, I took it. Because it was Chris Evans. That had to be intentional and was genius.
It’s so funny when Jeremy say’s the movie “jumped whatever, but I’m not going to spoil it”…while watching the movie it’s in the back of my head and then I’m like there it is 😂
Azbaek also played Korvax in AQ2
Favourite small cast space movie.
Life.
Old school "it came from out of space" kill em off one by one type of movie with great performance from great actors!
