I have never heard of "Man In A Box" as a genre. Looked it up and can't find any references to that genre. But it's an interesting term. There are many single location movies. Many are based on stage plays for the obvious reason that a stage play is limited to the amount of locations. Wait Until Dark, Glengarry Glen Ross, Death and the Maiden, Deathtrap, Sleuth, The Petrified Forest, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, His Girl Friday, Casablanca. Check out Cube, Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, 12 Angry Men, Key Largo, In a Lonely Place, Fail-Safe, Assault on Precinct 13, Inside, Invasion, Evil Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Saw, Clerks.
Pedro a Producer here on Stage32 was looking for "Man In A Box" scripts. He also listed 5 must see "Man In A Box" movies. D Marcus -- he listed some of the same movies you did :-) http://www.stage32.com/blog/five-must-see-man-box-movies
Hi There, my name is Kirk I’m founder and Project Manager for “The Fan Film Project” where we’re not only working to set up a working network for talent in countries around the world to plug into and all work together at making independent projects, but also erecting an online streaming channel that will run 24/7 in Television Broadcast format that is exclusive to showing independent content. That being said we are looking for content to air on our network and hope you’ll come be a part of what we’re doing. You can go here www.thefanfilmproject.com for more information.
Pedro -- "Man In A Box" is the "genre". Micro budgets do "Man In A Box" -- Buried (2010) is an example. The Purge was the latest.

thanks Chuck. Now my search for screenplays and old movies can start! :-)
Single location. And usually low budget.
