Technically, I think “Cube” fits the bill.
First one that came to mind. Cube has two sequels and a remake also.
Yeah came to say this one, it’s so dam good
The Man From Earth was a great movie. Hopefully it qualifies, even though there are a few parts outside the cabin. Based on a play of the same name. It’s also one of those movies where you can’t recapture the first watch. Those who have seen it understand. I’ve heard the sequel wasn’t nearly as good, and I’d figure as much, some stories just need to have their conclusion and let it sit with the viewer.
Clue?
my favorite movie!
Phone Booth. The entire movie takes place in a phone booth.
I was about to say Clerks but they do go to a funeral for a minute. Like 95% one place.
Saw was mostly filmed in one room. Bloody good film, the first one.
Yep that was my second option, it held up to many viewings
The Raid: Redemption
Delicatessen
Is delicatessen really all happening in the apartment building? I have memories of outdoor scenes as well but maybe I’m mixing things up with dikkenek.
There are a few exteriors shots but it’s primarily inside one building.
I’m not familiar with Dikkenek but just looked it up and it appears to be many locations. The clown is in that one too though.
Evil Dead 1/2
Phonebooth (2002)
Locke (2013)
Kimi (2022)I was going to say Locke what a great film!
Phone Booth was my choice.

If you like one shot films, watch Victoria. It’s set and shot in Berlin and begins at night, but the sun starts to rise during the film, giving it a unique quality.
The director allowed three attempts to get the shot before enacting a backup plan to shoot it traditionally and the actors got it on the third attempt!

Since the best two were taken ( cube and saw) I guess I’ll go with Dredd, although it’s not entirely one location
With the exception of the opening scene where they’re sailing to it, “Shutter Island” takes place on the titular Shutter Island.
“The Hunt for Red October” and “Crimson Tide” both take place on submarines.
“Sucker Punch”
spoiler
takes place entirely in Rocket’s mind
Rope is the best one I can think of that doesn’t have any kind of caveat. It takes place within an apartment, set across three connected rooms (kitchen, hallway, living/dining area) and the scenes are even stitched together in such a way that it gives the impression of being shot in a single take.
Rear Window is close, but it does leave the apartment at least once. One could also argue that the binoculars scenes are taking the viewer to a different location.
Climax. It’s a French movie where a bunch of music video dancers drink LSD-spiked punch and get totally wrecked. It’s also a one-cut movie.
Been a while, but I think “From Dusk Till Dawn”
They start at a hotel and then go to the bar, but I’d kick myself for being a pedant. Kick
Yeah, that’s right. I remember there being an RV so I figured they probably came from somewhere
