Panic Room (2002) - David Fincher | Houselights #6

Three years after Fight Club, David Fincher decided to create a “small

movie” that steered him heavily back into suspense thriller territory.

Starring Jodie Foster, Panic Room situated itself in a single house,

with a terrified mother and daughter, as they worked to outwit and

outlast a gang of thieves hell-bent on capturing the lost money from

the previous owner. Despite the supposedly small scale, your hosts

explore how Fincher pushed the envelop with effects, camerawork, and

performance to create a memorable and entertaining film that helped

refine his techniques afterward.
