List of films featuring home invasions

The poster for Blind Alley, a 1939 feature which influenced numerous home invasion films.[1]
In Suddenly (1954), Frank Sinatra plays an assassin who takes over a family's home as a venue to target the President of the United States.

There is a body of films that feature home invasions. Paula Marantz Cohen says, "Such films reflect an increased fear of the erosion of distinctions between private and public space... These films also reflect a sense that the outside world is more dangerous and unpredictable than ever before."[2] Home invasion films are commonly thrillers and horror films.[3] David Sterritt of TCM states that numerous home invasion films are "descended" from the 1939 film Blind Alley.[1]
