Movies that take place in few if not one location and are driven by the characters, I'd like to find more movies of the genre. Don't think this genre has any specific name but this is what I heard it called and it comes from how 8 Spartans lived in a single housing in the barracks putting up with each other.

You might like Sleuth, which is a duel of wits between Michael Caine and Lawrence Olivier.

A few Hitchcok films that qualify, to the best of my memory. Everyone is stranded at sea in Lifeboat (Hitchcock's cameo comes in a newspaper article). Rope and Dial M for Murder both take place in a single room for the most part.

Now I'm having second thoughts about Dial M for Murder. In case it had too many scenes in other locations, replaced it with Arsenic and Old Lace which is mostly (?) confined to one house.

It is confined to the outside of the house and the inside. If I remember right, only the very start has them somewhere else briefly.

Another duel of wits in a fixed location can be between a captor and captive. A captivity scenario is usually set up with a kidnapping or home invasion in the first act. The rest of the film is a struggle for the upper hand.
One example I like is The Collector, a modest late-career work from William Wyler. There's an easy bucolic mood in this opening scene, but (as the musical cue indicates) something darker lies beneath the surface.
