claustrophobia

As someone who has dealt with near-lifelong anxiety and bouts of claustrophobia, it may not come as a surprise that a surging and swaying crowd of thousands would be triggering for me.

The film's strongest game is its homage factor, especially in the way it captures much of the original’s claustrophobia.

“Game of Thrones” suffered from frustrating flaws, but its portrayal of the horror, blindness and claustrophobia of war remains unparalleled.

For every set, though, walls were never moved for the camera’s sake, “so you’re true to the claustrophobia,” says Gropman, and in the case of the dingy New York SRO, “the meanness of that space.”

“As soon as stuff started happening, this sense of zen came over me, and that sense of claustrophobia went away,” he said.
