"Sleuth" by Anthony Shaffer.

"Sleuth" was originally a play written by Anthony Shaffer, that was then turned into a film in 1972 and again in 2007. The 1972 version stars Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine, with the 2007 version starring Michael Caine as the part originally played by Laurence Olivier and Jude Law playing Michael Caine's original part. It is not the context of either film that I have looked at for inspiration, but the idea that the setting (having all been shot in one house, with just those two characters) gives the impression you are watching a play, rather than a film.
