Home invasion horror

73 films

The horror of home invasion taps into a primal dread: the collapse of sanctuary. These films strip away the illusion that four walls can shield us, turning living rooms and bedrooms into battlegrounds. From the relentless stalking in *The Strangers* to the brutal ingenuity of *The Collector*, this subgenre exposes the fragility of safety when violence breaches the threshold. More than just physical threats, many entries—*The Purge* and *No One Will Save You*—weave in family trauma, deepening the psychological stakes. The tension comes not just from what’s outside but what cracks appear inside, whether in fractured relationships or moral decay. These stories ask: when the place you trust becomes a cage, how far will you go to survive?
