Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With The Strangers: Chapter 1 breathing new life into the home invasion thriller sub-genre, many fans are understandably wondering where they can find similar horrifying stories. Thanks to the prevalence of real-life horror stories like the Manson murders in the popular imagination, home invasion movies have a particular resonance with many viewers.
Much of what makes Mother! so disturbing is the atmosphere. The sinister oppression of the waves of unfamiliar people creates an air of freneticism, culminating in one of the most shocking and divisive finales in modern horror. Although it is much less naturalistic than The Strangers: Chapter 1, Mother! is a startling reminder of how the home invasion genre can be used to explore wider themes of religion, environmentalism, and abuse.
The story follows a pregnant woman who, as she prepares to give birth, is accosted by a mysterious stranger who breaks into her house and tries to steal her baby. Inside ratchets up the tension as the women vie for control, culminating in a deeply distressing and incredibly violent climax. By combining the dual themes of a home break-in and kidnap, Inside offers an uncompromising viewing experience that isn't for the faint-hearted.
Mixing a razor-sharp script with likable characters, Dog Soldiers is a thrilling example of how the genre can benefit from an emphasis on action. As one character puts it, the film plays out like the epic British stand at Rorke's Drift – only with seemingly unkillable werewolves instead of Zulu warriors. Although its social commentary may be comparatively sparse, Dog Soldiers makes a great double-bill with bleaker home invasion films.
