Featured reviews
Laurie runs a storage facility. Unbeknown to her, one of the units has a valuable cargo.
Jules (Don Johnson) is a property developer who wants that cargo and he has hired some goons to help him get it. Jules is in no mood to take no from Laurie.
Inside the storage unit is Clayton. A man tied up who claims he has had some of his organs removed.
Laurie frees him and then hide from Jules goons who are pursuing both of them. It is clear Jules who is seriously ill wants Clayton, but what purpose?
Unit 234 is a bottle film with few locations. It is a low rent thriller which quickly gets repetitive. Laurie is chased, gets caught and then escapes.
The end twist livens it up a bit, but even then that depends on Laurie not watching much current affairs.

Unit 234 delivers a solid mix of suspense and character-driven storytelling, but what really stood out was Isabelle's performance. For once, we see her playing a normal, sane character - which was quite strange in itself given her usual roles. That said, she absolutely pulled it off. Her portrayal feels genuine, grounded, and likeable, adding a layer of realism that made the whole film more engaging.
The plot moves at a steady pace, keeping you interested without relying on over-the-top action or cheap thrills. And just when you think you've figured it all out, a nice twist hits at the end - one I genuinely didn't see coming.
Overall, Unit 234 is worth a watch. It's refreshing, well-acted, and has just enough mystery to keep you hooked until the credits roll.

Thanks for this film A good movie that contained many nuances and many, many interconnected events, mystery, action, and excitement. It also contained both human drama and psychological horror, which caused people to take positions based on justified fear. However, it is one of the good movies in the recent period.

Director Andy Tennant makes a surprising return to the thriller genre with Unit 234, a taut, single-location survival story that thrives on tension, atmosphere, and a refreshingly lean runtime. Set almost entirely in a remote, family-run storage facility, the film follows Laurie Saltair as she stumbles upon a brutal mystery: an unconscious man chained to a gurney inside a locked storage unit. What starts as an eerie discovery quickly spirals.
Watching Unit 234 was a nerve-jangling experience. From the moment Laurie discovers Clayton, I found myself fully locked in, the atmosphere so oppressive that even small sounds or sudden shadows had me flinching. It's not quite horror, but it cultivates a creeping dread that kept me on edge. Tennant doesn't rely on jump scares-instead, the tension simmers steadily, building toward violent, well-executed confrontations that genuinely had me gripping my seat. The sense of isolation and danger is palpable, and Laurie's vulnerability makes every decision feel like a tightrope walk between survival and doom.
Jack Huston delivers a compelling performance as the mysterious Clayton, navigating the fine line between victim and potential threat. His chemistry with the lead actress is understated yet effective, adding emotional weight to the film's quieter moments. Don Johnson, playing against type, shines as the menacing leader of the gang. His presence is both chilling and charismatic, and his scenes crackle with danger. The film benefits greatly from this solid cast, who elevate what could have been a formulaic thriller into something far more engaging.
Though it occasionally stumbles into familiar genre tropes, Unit 234 succeeds through its relentless pacing, smart casting, and effective use of space. It's a stripped-down thriller with a strong sense of place and character, and a worthy entry into the "single-setting survival" subgenre. Tennant proves he still has the chops to surprise, and with Huston and Johnson anchoring the film's drama and menace, Unit 234 holds the viewer hostage in the best way. If you're looking for a tight, edge-of-your-seat experience that makes the most of its confined setting, this film delivers.

The movie was good. It's a classic type of thriller with classic plot twists schemes. It looks kinda cheap, I mean budget of it looks kinda low. I do not demand a high budget to enjoy a movie. I like even trash movies. If it's a good story this is the most important. The story in this thriller is good, so I enjoyed it. Maybe it has some logical flaws at points, but not crucial at all. Some actors didn't act too well. Only the main actors did a good job. And at some points even a really good job. The location of the storage place was unusual enough so it felt fresh to make me curious where it all will go. So if you looking for a high budget movie then you maybe should skip it. Because it doesn't look high budget. If you OK with low budget movies, then you might really enjoy this. If you watched too much thrillers you might guess what will happen approximately. So what. Also English is not my main language.
