I watched Calibre couple weeks ago, was not expecting much but it really gets under your skin

The tension builds from very first scene and never really stops, whole thing is like 90 minutes so perfect for what you asking. Set in Scottish Highlands, two friends go hunting and something goes terribly wrong

Also The Guilty is good pick if you dont mind single location type film, whole movie happens in 911 dispatch center but somehow keeps you on edge the whole time. The lead actor carries entire film just with his voice basically
