10 Home Invasion Horror Movies With A Twist

10. No One Lives (2012)

While No One Lives (2012) definitely doesn't start out as a home invasion film, it manoeuvres itself into this position once the action is well underway and a few bodies are already on the pile.

Luke Evans stars as Driver, a seemingly innocent and everyday guy passing through a small town on the way to a brighter future. Unfortunately for everyone, him and his girlfriend Betty (Laura Ramsey) encounter a gang of hoods who want nothing more than to mess with them and rob them, which leads to Betty's death and the discovery of the pair's biggest secret. Turns out, Driver has kidnapped the wealthy heiress (Adelaide Clemens) whose face has been plastered all over the news, and, though the gang flee with her to their hideout, there's no putting Pandora back in the box.

Driver traps them in their own home and bloody murder ensues, as he won't be satisfied until every one of them is dead. No One Lives operates in a strange kind of grey area not just in terms of genre – Is it a home invasion horror, is it a revenge thriller? – but also in morals, where you find yourself rooting for the gang and the Driver at different times, but also where, ultimately, everyone is in the wrong.
