CORNERED!

Cinemavixion Review

Daniel Maze's 2008 slasher, "CORNERED!", plunges viewers into the claustrophobic confines of a convenience store where a late-night poker game devolves into a desperate fight for survival. The film effectively crafts a tense atmosphere, trapping a motley crew of characters—including Steve Guttenberg, James Duval, and Liz Nicole Abrams—with a relentless, masked assailant. While the premise is familiar, Maze utilizes the confined setting to amplify the suspense, making every shadow and every creak a potential threat. The narrative skillfully escalates the stakes, transforming a mundane setting into a nightmarish battleground. For fans of intense, contained thrillers, "CORNERED!" offers a gripping and suspenseful cinematic experience that explores the primal instinct to survive when cornered.
