Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Home Invasion Horror

With The Purge and You're Next right around the corner, Remy and I thought now would be an appropriate time to discuss "home invasion horror." You know, those films that show a family or group of people minding their own business in either their own house or someone else's, only to have some sick, twisted bastards show up and crank the horror knob up a few notches. Whether it's a robbery, for fun, in honor of Satan, or for any reason, home invasion films are effective because of the terrifying realism that anyone can break into your house at any time. Your home is supposed to represent safety, a sanctuary from the outside world if you will, so the utter thought that someone can just barge in and threaten your safety at will is prime material for a horror flick, causing nothing but irrational fear. Sorry, did you want to sleep tonight or something?

The Pretty Boys from Funny Games

Yes, I am talking about this movie again. Truth be told, after much deliberation, I truly think Funny Games is my favorite horror film ever. Why? Because outside of Cabin in the Woods, it is the only horror movie that seems to know, and relish in the fact, that it’s a horror movie. But I am getting side tracked. The real reason we are here is to talk about the invaders. In this case, it just happens to be two well put together young men, who just happened to be dressed like they just got off the green at the country club. So what do you do? You let them in. YOU let in the people who are going to murder you, and you do it willingly. Why? Because we are a society that judges on looks, and if someone “looks” innocent, we allow them into our homes.

And what is really fucked up about this movie is that most of us would have done the exact same thing. In that sense, they are two of the scariest villains of all time.
