Panic Room, 2002

Fear, panic. chaos.
The panic room is the safest place in a house(the red rectangle with white bars in the center). But there is the panic at its highest. The room is built on fear and with fear(the yellow rectangle around the red one). The fear is fed by a bunch of external sources ( yellow lines coming into the yellow rectangle). You can't escape the fear, it is inside you. The panic room is not a safe place, it is a trap.
