Your Favorite "HOME INVASION" Horror Films

[koolmike]

Just got done watching "Home Sweet Home" (recommended to me by our own woodenheart) and liked it. Not the greatest film but as far as home invasion horror goes it was done well IMO. Got me thinking about other films in this sub genre that I liked so I figured why not start a thread.

The Strangers
Straw Dogs
Panic Room
Haute Tension
Kidnapped

...these are the first 5 that jumped into my head.



(although NOTLD '68 is a zombie film, they do invade a home for 98% film so if we can dump it into the Home Invasion sub genre as well
, that would be my favorite one )

Inside,Funny Games .....good suggestion on "Notld"

[Primetimeloser]

Ah damn fine list. Off of it I would pick NOLD or the Strangers

I'd add Funny Games and the Purge.

If we are going loose with the definition could we count martyrs? Since a home invasion kind of sets the event in motion. Oh and the poughkeepsie tapes.

Inside,Funny Games .....good suggestion on "Notld"

Good call on Inside.

[hacknslash]

Id would say yes on Martyrs, if NOTLD is on the list

[woodenheart]

Home Sweet Home
The Desperate Hours
Cherry Tree Lane
In Their Skin
The Collector
The Dark Hours
Wait Until Dark

[koolmike]

Def The Collector

[Inspector Tequila]

In Their Skin
Wait Until Dark

Adding those to my watchlist.

Martyrs loosely because they drag their victims into THEIR home. When I mean "home invasion" I mean something or someone invading YOUR home.

I need to see Funny Games.

Always here to help

Bad Ronald also works from both perspectives I guess.

[hacknslash]

Def The Collector

Yup

[Primetimeloser]

And in terms of just listing things You're Next...I'll shut up now.

[I_Drink_Your_Blood]

Black Christmas (1974) (kind of counts...)
Funny Games (1997)
Haute Tension (2003)
The Last House on the Beach (1978)
Martyrs (2008)
Straw Dogs (1971)
Them (Ils) (2006)

Also a couple which probably don't count as home invasion 'films' but have certainly have memorable invasion scenes would be A Clockwork Orange and Dial M for Murder.

[I_Drink_Your_Blood]

Yes! I guess it does really.

Interesting film though whatever you class it as.

[CountOrlok]

Ils aka Them (2006)

[Primetimeloser]

Black Christmas (1974) (kind of counts...)

I'd say that counts. Also Halloween would work.

If we are talking just scenes Fargo would work too.
