247°F (2011)
247°F (2011) is a survival horror film directed Levan Bakhia and Beqa Jguburia. The movie is set in a high-stakes, claustrophobic environment and follows the terrifying experience of four friends trapped in a sauna at dangerously high temperatures. The title 247°F refers to the temperature inside the sauna, which is dangerously close to the point where the human body begins to suffer severe heatstroke and burns.
The film begins with a group of close friends—two couples—deciding to take a relaxing weekend getaway at a remote cabin in the woods. Looking forward to a relaxing time, they decide to spend some time in the cabin’s sauna. However, things quickly take a dark turn when they are trapped inside the sauna and the temperature starts rising to deadly levels. The door becomes stuck, and they are unable to escape, leaving them with no way out as the heat continues to escalate.
As the temperature inside the sauna rises to 247°F, the friends face an increasing sense of panic and desperation. They realize they must find a way out before the heat kills them. The psychological and physical toll of the extreme heat forces each character to confront their fears and vulnerabilities. With limited oxygen, water, and no clear way of escape, the group’s relationships begin to unravel as the heat intensifies, making their survival even more challenging.
