Evil knocking on the door: Home Invasion x5
Home as a safe place, bearer of the most intimate secrets, is often tainted in cinema. The allure of the home invasion subgenre lies in the subversive ethics of the intruder, an external element meant to disturb the owners’ domestic ecosystem. If the most typical movies demonize the other's presence and exploit otherness, some immersions in the other's life have more complex motivations than simply giving a fright and rather carry social, spiritual and psychological implications strongly anchored in the captive hosts themselves.
