Character Description

Some characters are stuck in a partly constricted space (such as a building or large vehicle), while menaced by some threat, usually a vicious predator that is hunting them. The cast avoids the predator to the best of their ability while trying to concoct a method of resistance and/or escape. If initially more than a few people, their number dwindles as they are devoured or otherwise disposed of one after another, until such time as the predator is defeated or they manage to engineer an exit. The essence of the trope is the immediacy of the conflict between victims and predator. The victims have no chance to flee or withdraw from the situation to form an ideal plan.
