List of films featuring home invasions
There is a body of films that feature
horror films.[2] The home invasion subgenre goes as far back as D. W. Griffith's 1909 film The Lonely Villa.[3]
This list only covers films containing actual or attempted home invasions, and does not include movies based around assaults on other places such as Assault on Precinct 13, which dealt with a police station being invaded, or intrusion under false pretenses, such as Orphan.
