Suddenly, the truck stops and Lisa flies through the windshield. As if the truck wasn’t a big enough red flag, a radio broadcast about a killer who drives a similar vehicle and has a tattoo on his hand is heard. Lisa ( Gaia Weiss) is grappling with the death of her daughter, when a man offers her a ride in his red, muddy Ford F-250. In this film, the claustrophobia is metaphorical rather than physical now, as one woman tries to outrun her past by navigating a labyrinth of memory. “ Maze Runner“…well, let’s not talk about “Maze Runner.” But Turi adds something to the maze we haven’t seen before, something the genre has sorely been missing-empathy. “ Escape Room” is more of the same, this time with clues and some decent characters to root for. “ Saw” is masochistic schlock, each death an excuse to spill more guts. “Meander” brings a new perspective to the formula seen in previous claustrophobic features in recent film history.

That realism is part of what makes this movie work because, as directed by Mathieu Turi, the film gives the audience the feeling of being trapped in a tight and confined space. Of the claustrophobic thrillers inspired by the 1998 cult classic, “ Cube,” “ Meander” might just be the greatest and most realistic.
