This Shudder Original from director Ted Geoghegan takes place in one room. 4 WWII veterans and a spouse gather for a séance. Things go off the rails. Most of this movie is talking/yelling, with truths revealed over the night. But there is some well done spookiness. This year's The Sixth Secret is also a movie that takes place in one room. And while in the Sixth Secret you can feel the filmmakers stretching to fill the "feature length" run time, not a moment is wasted in Brooklyn 45. The whole movie is deliciously tense, and it all very much works. My one errant thought during the early part of the movie is that these are 4 WWII war veterans who got home from the war in the same year the movie happens. But they're all in their 50s and 60s. But it turns out that they're all Major and above in rank, so not youngsters. Like Colonel Potter and his best friends, age-wise. This movie really worked for me.
