15) The Strangers (2008)
Trending
Boringly inspired by the Keddie Cabin Murders, in addition to a home-invasion sequence, The Strangers invokes such raw fright over attacks by random violence. Director Bryan Bertino, terror descends upon a couple's seemingly far-off home by the hands of masked assailants, and its hauntingly recurrent tagline, "Because you were home" suggests randomness in the acts done, which adds the sense of terror. Minimalistic storytelling and a creepy atmosphere make this an example of the modern horror classics, while its influence is traced through subsequent movies featuring home invasion thrillers.
