I don't think it fits the definition I put in the original post, because the people illegally entering the premises are not doing so to commit a crime and the homeowner, and only occupant, is dead, leaving the house apparently empty (although there are people, who also broke in, seeking shelter in the basement) and without an owner.

"A home invasion is an illegal and usually forceful entry to an occupied, private dwelling with violent intent to commit a crime against the occupants."

I saw the 2006 version and thought it was okay but nothing special. I then saw the 1979 version and realised the people behind the remake of the right idea because the original kind of falls flat halfway through when the "Have you checked the children" part is over. It's been years since I've seen them, but I think the remake compares very favourably to the original.

I don't think I've seen Corruption, Sleep Tight or Scorned, and I'm not sure about Firewall, but I do have the unwatched Harrison Ford collection, so that's tonight viewing sorted!

Better late than never, these are my top 10 Home Invasion films,
  • Dial M for Murder (1954)
  • Hard Candy (2004)
  • The House on the Edge of the Park (1980)
  • Inside (2007)
  • Man Bites Dog (1992)
  • Martyrs (2008)
  • Panic Room (2002)
  • Straw Dogs (1971)
  • Them (Ils, 2006)
  • Torso (1973)

The only reason I haven't included Black Christmas (1974) is because (spoiler alert) there is no home invasion!

Thanks all for your Home Invasion lists. This week is little different and spurred on by the many different Death Wish mentions, with the topic being devoted to the Lithuanian legend Charles Buchinsky.

So, without further do, please list your top 10 Charles Bronson Films.
