The Ritual i thought was excellent but wasn't really one of the over hyped blockbusters like i mentioned earlier.

All films are the original versions, below are films i toyed with but wasn't sure completely followed the criteria set, but definitely have elements that i feel make them relevant.

Martin (the woman victim having the affair is a prolonged home invasion scene)
Killers Moon (home invasion at a hotel.)
Halloween (pretty much spends most of the time invading others home, but especially the final face off.)
Hardware (although it reassembles in the home it kind of fits i feel)
Torso
When A Stranger Calls
A Clockwork Orange
Alone In The Dark
The Seducers / Death Game (Sondra Locke before Knock,Knock)
You’re Next
Corruption (Peter Cushing's home gets invaded but only in the final section)

I hated You're Next one of those films that makes you angry as your watching it

Thanks to everyone who contributed a list of their favourite home invasion films. It's a difficult category to easily classify, but one which contains many interesting and disturbing films.

This week's topic is purely based on today being World UFO Day, so will be a very broad category and involves any film where the plot revolves around an alien spacecraft visiting Earth.
