welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
home invasion movies what’s the matter I
don’t like the way that kid looked amid
you see that for this list we’re looking
at those films where unwanted surprise
visitors push or break their way into
movie homes number 10 Cape Fear kalsa
are you Kathir let me out come out
wherever you are Martin Scorsese’s
remake of the 1962 Gregory Peck classic
1ups the original in terms of boundaries
and overall nastiness Robert DeNiro is
Max Cady a convicted rapist released
from a 14 year prison sentence who seeks
revenge on the lawyer that ensured he
went to jail 14 years ago I was forced
to make a commitment to an 8 by 9 cell
now you want to be forced to make a
commitment what follows is a
cat-and-mouse game where Katie stalks
his prey and his family with an
intensely savage frame of mind
I learned that prison you like white
trash piece of shit
and it all boils down to a gripping
final showdown at sea when Katie hops a
ride on the family’s houseboat
granddaddy used to handle snakes in
church trying to drink strychnine I
guess you could say I had a leg up
genetically
number nine inside terrifyingly scary
and brutally violent this French horror
flick will make anyone think twice about
letting a stranger use their phone
not just expectant mothers what’s up
thought a female psychopath invades the
home of a soon-to-be mother with the
intention of taking her unborn child who
could be unrelenting and graphic inside
doesn’t shy away from showing anything
and is hailed as a modern-day classic
it’s also a searing look at how far some
people will go for a baby you know how
are you you look older than you are you
you certainly act older than you are
number eight
hard candy we work as a photographer you
find out real quick people’s faces lie
it’s my face line this one’s a home
invasion movie with a twist instead of a
child being the victim of an online
predator 14 year old Haley stark turns
the tables on the man she suspects of
pedophilia child rape and murder Jeff
playtime is over by scamming her way
into his home drugging him and tying him
up
Haley presents us with a uniquely
twisted affair as one torturous episode
after another unfolds please pretty
please with a cherry and uh one that you
just had to pop all of which leave the
viewer shaken and asking many questions
why don’t you just kill me is that what
you think I want number seven home alone
well can we be forgetting
Kevin the only comedy in this decidedly
bleak list home alone sees
eight-year-old Kevin McAllister stuck at
home gasp alone while his family’s on
Christmas vacation when a twosome of
bumbling thieves decides to raid the
neighborhood well if the kids there the
parents gotta be he’s home alone Harry
and Marv’s only problems is they
underestimated the kid kids are scared
of the dark you’re afraid of the dark
too more you know you
Kevin’s much smarter and cleverer than

home invasion won’t get out of my house
but it’s no big deal since the house has
an extensive security system and better
yet a panic room that’ll keep them safe
from the attackers tell me they’re not
in there unfortunately for the
mother-daughter duo what the thieves
have come for is found inside that very
room the claustrophobic atmosphere that
director David Fincher creates is
palpably pulse-pounding and relentless
as the homeowners struggle against the
robbers
number five The Last House on the Left
leave it to Wes Craven to make a
thrilling and almost exploitative ly
violent home invasion movie
two girls just trying to score some weed
at a concert end up kidnapped and
tortured by two sadistic prison escapees
who follow up their rape fest by
visiting one of their victims homes
dressed as Traveling Salesman do you

ties that bind and payback plain and
simple

Audrey Hepburn is Susie Hendricks a
recently blinded woman who gets fooled
and tortured by three small-time
hoodlums that believe she has a doll
that belongs to them somewhere in her
apartment

seams with heroin though Suzie is
unassuming and naive she puts up a
valiant fight against the invaders by
breaking lightbulbs so they’re just as
in the dark as she is mister Oh hmm are
