any feature length, ONE ROOM, films that are GOOD?

I've tried to watch a couple but they always seem way too long and don't really work stretched out. should be 30 minute episode to tell the story.

Are there any out there that are 1.5 to 2 hours, one room or small location that are interesting?

Example:
DEATHTRAP was ALMOST one room, still interesting to watch
CIRCLE was mostly one room, but didn't hold attention well

12 Angry Men (1957) is the best one-room movie I've ever seen, and one of the best movies in general.

I would agree that 12 Angry Men is probably the best one out there.

Some which I didn't see mentioned.

Exam (2009)
Cube (1997) - the one room is slightly debatable
Pontypool (2008)

Cube, yes that qualifies. they mixed it up, but it did come to mind

It isn't entirely in one room (you see characters from other perspectives), but I love Saw. It's not very long and goes by quick. I also enjoy the sequels but I'd recommend at least checking out the original.

My favourite film is Dial M For Murder which is 95% in one room. Only the phone alibi, a very brief court scene are set away from the rest of the film.
