3 Panic Room (2002)
IMDB 6.8 | 269K Ratings
Stars: Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker
Released in 2002, Panic Room still remains the go-to choice for home invasion movies after almost 20 years since its release. Meg (Jodie Foster) and her young daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) have just moved into a large brownstone apartment in New York. The home is equipped with a panic room, built to protect the residents against natural calamities or riots or unrest. But, when three burglars carry out a home invasion, mother and daughter have no choice but to seek respite in the panic room. At first, they think they are safe, as the panic room seems impenetrable. But, when they realize that the burglars want what’s in the panic room, the game of life and death begins, as they know the intruders won’t stop until they breach the panic room. A literal game of cat and mouse within a home.
The kind of movie that is scripted for a Jodie Foster performance. And, you can see why Kristen Stewart catapulted to become a A-list actress after her performance in this movie. Forest Whitaker shines as well, as a level-headed and the sanest of the three intruders. A thoroughly entertaining watch.
4 Don’t Breathe (2016)
IMDB 7.1 | 250K Ratings
Stars: Stephen Lang, Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette
A group of three thieves make a living by breaking into homes of unsuspecting wealthy people. Easy in and out jobs with no complications. Their modus operandi is effective as no one’s usually home. But, when they hear about a blind veteran who is sitting on a huge insurance settlement in cash at his secluded home, they decide to rob him while he is in the house. After all, how much can a blind man fight back is what they think.
But, once inside, they learn shocking secrets about their supposedly helpless victim that turns the tables on them. A home invasion movie where the intruders are the ones trying to flee for their lives! A movie so popular and unique that it warranted a sequel that just came out in August 2021. So, if you liked Don’t Breathe, you have the sequel to enjoy as well, as one more movie like Intrusion!
5 The Strangers (2008)
IMDB 6.2 | 124K Ratings
Stars: Scott Speedman, Liv Tyler, Gemma Ward
If you are looking for a creepy rather than scary home invasion movie, The Strangers is what you want to watch. Kristen (Liv Tyler) and her partner James (Scott Speedman) are spending the weekend at their family vacation home. But, the home attracts strange visitors. First, a mysterious woman shows up at the door. James then accidentally kills his friend in a frenzy, mistaking him for an intruder.
But, there’s no let up. Three more intruders arrive, masked and without any clear agenda but to terrorize and torture them. There’s a lot of silence. There’s a lot of unexpected thuds. There are creepy knocks. The movie is terrifying that way. And, remember we said creepy. Don’t be surprised if your find the hair on the back of your neck raised from time to time. That’s what happens when intruders try to take you in your home and you don’t even know why they want to do the things they do.
6 The Resident (2011)
IMDB 5.3 | 27K Ratings
Stars: Hillary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lee Pace
This isn’t a scary movie to watch per se. It’s more about obsession and some serious deviant stalking. And, it’s all done by a landlord Max (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who is obsessed with his tenant, Dr. Juliet Devereau (Hillary Swank). Dr. Juliet dates the handsome Max, only to quickly call it off as she thinks a tenant landlord can’t be in a romantic relationship.
But, this doesn’t go down well with Max who becomes obsessed with her. As a landlord, he has several means to stalk and terrorize the young doctor who must find a way out of the apartment from hell. A movie that got many surprisingly bad reviews. But, if it’s the home intrusion genre you are after, we think it is definitely worth the watch. At least watch the trailer to see if this can be the last film on this list of movies like Intrusion!
