Desperate to avoid being the latest victim of yet another snuff film, the couple must find an escape method. Olsen plays Sarah, a young woman who becomes trapped inside of her own home as her family is terrorized by a group of home invaders. While most of us know Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she was something of an indie darling before becoming a superhero.
Brilliantly directed by Terence Young, this thriller stars Hepburn as a young blind woman who is the victim of home invasion. Released in 2008 and starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, The Strangers was a worldwide box-office success. It is another horror movie on this list that focuses more on suspense instead of gore. Described by the director, Bryan Bertino, as ‘inspired by true events’, The Strangers is a chilling account of home invasion at its most shocking.
The Purge - Die Säuberung
Instead of going on a murder spree to exact revenge or because they're ghosts haunting the place, they simply do it because "they were home." Lakeview Terrace is a fairly standard thriller, with an escalating tension that just about strains credibility. Samuel L. Jackson portrays LAPD cop Abel Turner, a single father who's just gotten some new neighbors. Unfortunately for him and his worldview, his new neighbors are a mixed-race couple. After they make out in a pool and his kids see, Abel begins acting irrationally, though he's obviously not quite rational from his first frame on screen. The family film lampoons the element of home invasion, which is more common in thriller films.
Black Christmas frequently graces greatest-horror-movie lists and it’s cited as an inspiration for John Carpenter’s Halloween. It tells the story of a sorority house terrorized by a man hiding in the attic. The killer is credited as “The Moaner” in the original film but has come to be known as Billy based on repeated mutterings of this name.
the review
A gratuitous shower scene in Intruder.Over the weekend of a major storm a young cellist stays in her apartment alone, unaware that she has been joined by an intruder. This is a true home invasion movie that features near misses between the woman and the intruder throughout. Before The Conjuring tested nerves with those scary hands clapping in the dark, the villains of Them chipped away at audiences’ sanity with some wretched noisemakers.
She starred in Silent House, a psychological horror film known for its feat in technical filmmaking. The Last House on the Left was originally released in 1972 but there is also a 2009 remake that more people tend to be familiar with. Wes Craven directed the original movie and returned as a producer on the remake. Knock Knock has many satirical and darkly comedic moments but that doesn't stop it from being scary enough to make a pit form in your stomach. Initially, it looks like Evan is just going to have a fun, sexy, weekend with these two women but things quickly spiral out of control into a fierce torture-horror film.
Movie poster=Panic Room ( =(�Jodie Foster,�Kristen Stewart,�Forest Whitaker,
People from various walks of life - among them adult film performers, a washed-up rock star, and the British Prime Minister - suffer the emotional highs and lows of being in love. It follows the cat-and-mouse chase between a hardened detective and a notorious professional thief who is desperate to complete one last heist. Pixar has put out a huge number of classics since debuting with Toy Story back in 1995, and this 2015 effort is one of the animation studio's very best. As ever, the animation is inventive and bright with some brilliant visual gags sprinkled through the runtime. While David Fincher is best known for directing Fight Club and Se7en, Panic Room remains a worthy entry in his impressive filmography.
Every year there are endless arguments about whether Die Hard is a Christmas film, but whatever side of the argument you sit on, there's one thing that can't be denied – it's an absolutely terrific action flick. Bruce Willis is on fine form as New York cop John McClane, who is forced to defend his estranged wife's LA office building when German terrorists led by criminal mastermind Hans Gruber attack. Full of brilliant action and even better dialogue, it's deservedly regarded as a bonafide classic. There will likely always be some debate about which of Daniel Craig's outings as 007 is truly the best – but whichever way you spin it, Skywall will never be far from the top of the list.
The 30 Best Movies of 2017
But it still has a decent cast and can be watched once if you’re just looking for something to fill in your time. ‘Hush’ is the story of a deaf writer who moves far away from the noise of the city to a house that’s located deep inside the woods. She seeks peace and silence with this retreat of hers but her peace gets ruined when one day a masked murderer suddenly appears in her window. Far away from the city, she has nowhere to go but to run away from the killer or even fight back. All this adds up together and gives us the perfect nail-biting thriller, which is silent but very subtly manages to get inside our heads and plant the seeds of panic and fear.
During a stay at their lake house, a family of three ends up with unwelcome guests. The villains, Peter and Paul, bet the family that they won’t survive until the following morning. Ringleader Paul breaks the fourth wall on multiple occasions — by directly involving the viewer, we take on a role of complicity. The film wasn’t well-received by critics, many of whom consider it torture porn.
Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen star in this 2019 rom-com about a free-spirited journalist who realises that the accomplished politician he runs into is his former babysitter and childhood crush. Unexpectedly – and against the advice of those closest to her – she ends up hiring him as her speechwriter when she decides to run for the presidency, with charming and sometimes hilarious results. However you spend your Christmas, one thing that can be pretty much guaranteed is that at some point over the festive period you'll want nothing more than to settle down in front of the TV to watch a classic film. You could watch Kenneth Branagh's new versions of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile or you can watch these superb '70s versions of two of Agatha Christie's best Hercule Poirot mysteries. Christie is one of the best mystery writers of all time and Poirot is her premiere protagonist . Different actors portray Poirot in these adaptations -- Albert Finney and Peter Ustinov, respectively -- but like the Branagh versions, the "red herring" ensembles are filled with famous faces of the era.
The biggest USP of this one is Audrey Hepburn’s deviation from her usual glamourous and romantic image. If that isn’t enough to turn heads then there’s one more catch – her character Susy is blind. She gets embroiled in a devious plan involving gangsters, drug lords and small time crooks. It all starts with a doll stuffed with heroin which lands up in her house via an acquaintance of her husband. The film is noted for its clever and tricky situations that the lead characters constantly end up being in and also for its slick screenplay.
It stars Naomi Watts as the wife of Tim Roth, and son Devon Gearhart, who plays a small loving family abused by two psychopaths. It is one of the most disturbing mainstream films that has ever been released. A reenactment of his own film from 10 years, Michael Haneke’s Funny Games is true to its tagline “See it if you dare”. It's bad enough to imagine someone breaking into your home, it's even worse to imagine someone breaking in when you are lacking some of your vital senses. Kate Siegel, star of The Haunting of Hill House, leads this terrifying thriller as Maddie Young, a deaf and mute woman. Unable to hear or speak, Maddie is forced to fight for her life by any means necessary when a man breaks into her home wearing a mask.
In its most basic form, all that is really needed are two characters and one location--a home, its owner, and an invader. It's quick and cheap to make, and let's face it, the economics of the horror genre are what has made it such an attractive arena for so many cash-strapped filmmakers over the decades. The movie is said to be shot in one take by director Gustavo Hernandez and shows a young girl Laura and her father staying the night in a cottage they are supposed to renovate the next day. Things get dark when Laura begins to hear strange, scary noises in the night.
It tells the story of a couple who go on a retreat to a faraway place on an isolated boathouse. Everything seems to be going well till the couple decides to spice things up and Gerald, who is the husband, handcuffs his wife to the bed frame. But he suddenly gets a heart attack and he dies, leaving his wife all alone tied up to the bed frame with nowhere else to go. Now we don’t know what would really happen if something like that actually happens to us, and we wouldn’t really want to know.
