10 Best Home Invasion Horror Movies

4. Sleep Tight

Though certainly the least-mainstream entry on this list, Sleep Tight is a brilliantly creative and deeply unsettling take on the home invasion movie, revolving around Cesar (Luis Tosar), the troubled concierge of an apartment building who uses his position to intimately interfere with the lives of the tenants.

This deeply disturbing film from [REC] director Jaume Balagueró is another movie best watched while knowing as little as possible, given the highly unpredictable and escalatory nature of its slow-burn premise.

Needless to say, Tosar's incredible performance is a revolting marvel to behold, while Balagueró's direction reaches at-times Hitchcockian levels of gut-wrenching suspense.

Better still, flecks of black comedy are sure to leave audiences wincing as they laugh, even if the end result is largely a film which leaves a bruising impact on anyone who watches it.
