Director:Martin Scorsese Remaking a classic 1962 suspense thriller featuring Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum (both of whom appear in the 1991 update) was a surprising move for Martin Scorsese. The end result gave him one of the most critically and commercially successful films of his career up to that point. The story concerns a violent sex offende...
Director:Adam Wingard Who doesn’t enjoy a heartwarming story about a family coming together for a common cause? You’re Next depends heavily on black humor and family dynamics in its plot involving a rich, dysfunctional family being forced to cooperate with one another to survive a home invasion by ruthless maniacs. The film doesn’t make anything si...
Director:Marcus Dunstan The Collector combines a couple of different genres to create something quite special. If you don’t care about special, then you’re still going to love just how entertaining a ride this film proves to be. Everything starts with a desperate man Arkin (Josh Stewart) making plans to rob a wealthy family with whom he enjoys a fr...
Directors:Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury A pregnant woman (Alysson Paradis) mourns the recent death of her husband and waits for her long overdue baby to finally arrive. Apparently, that’s not quite enough for her dance card, as she soon finds herself the target of a mysterious, terrifying woman (Béatrice Dalle), who seemingly wants her unborn...
Director:Sam Peckinpah A home invasion in which the newcomers to a rural community in Cornwall, England are treated with almost immediate hostility sets the stage for Straw Dogs. There is indeed a direct home invasion component to this story of an American (a rising Dustin Hoffman) and his new wife (Susan George, who is just as good as Hoffman) try...
Director:Jack Sholder Three fun-loving lunatics from the local asylum escape, go on a looting spree, and eventually torment some folks in their home. The premise for Alone in the Dark is not in of itself all that interesting. The movie feels a little out-of-place when compared to the glut of slasher films that were beginning to dominate the horror ...
Director:Tommy Wirkola The Trip can feel a bit like someone brought together two very different movies, and then managed to make them work together quite beautifully. A wife (Noomi Rapace, always excellent in horror) and husband (Aksel Hennie) decide to spend a relaxing weekend in a cabin in the woods, reconnecting as each in their own way waits fo...
Director:Richard Brooks Drawing from Truman Capote’s nonfiction book, itself based on the brutal Clutter family murders, In Cold Blood is one of the bleakest neo-noir films ever made. Shot in black and white, and presented as a shockingly straightforward depiction of what likely happened on November 15th 1959, the film doesn’t need its story to be ...
Director:Fede Álvarez Don’t Breathe swaps the traditional roles of a home invasion movie. While this movie isn’t the first one to try this, it’s clear that everyone quite likedDon’t Breathe’s subversions of their expectations. Three very silly young thieves decide to break into the home of a blind veteran who has supposedly come into quite a bit of...
Director:Matthew Patrick Hider in the House is a little on the convoluted side, as it involves a man (Gary Busey, who is surprisingly quite tragic) who decides after being let out of an institution to move into the attic of a new home. Step two is to just not ever tell anyone. You don’t have to be complicated to be one of the best home invasion mov...
