Locked
Locked
When Eddie breaks into a luxury SUV, he steps into a deadly trap set by William, a self-proclaimed vigilante delivering his own brand of twisted justice. With no means of escape, Eddie must fight to survive in a ride where escape is an illusion, survival is a nightmare, and justice shifts into high gear.

Locked and Event Horizon (1997) may play in different genres, but both are traps disguised as vehicles — one a luxury SUV, the other a ghost ship — and once you're inside, there’s no getting out without scars.
Eddie’s descent in Locked mirrors the terror of Event Horizon’s doomed crew. Once the door seals, the real horror begins: the space isn’t just confined, it’s alive with judgment. Just as the Event Horizon reflects its passengers' worst fears, the SUV in Locked becomes a crucible, turning guilt and desperation into fuel for psychological combustion.
Both films are about men trying to escape something far larger than the physical walls around them. Eddie runs from justice, but finds a twisted version of it waiting. In Event Horizon, the crew flees science and finds scripture written in screams. There are no safe exits in either film — only consequences, delivered one claustrophobic frame at a time.
Where Event Horizon traps you in the void, Locked does it in metal and chrome. But the message is the same: it’s not where you’re going that matters — it’s what follows you in.
